As I'm writing this review StarMade is the second most played game in my steam library right before Kerbal Space Program. Do I recommend this game?
Short answer: Absolutely NOT!
Long answer:
As of 2018 February 28 the game is officially one of the top 10 games with the longest development time in history currently ranking 10th on the list besides Shenmue. The game is still nothing but an alpha release at its best. Not only did it completely miss the voxelmania age proceeding the success of Minecraft but by the time this game will leave alpha or reach any state of which could be considered playable actual human interplanetary space travel will probably have already started either by NASA or Space X. The fact this game still receives suitable founding for its continued development baffles me and i find it hardly believable.
This far cry from a game is a dream of one guy who wanted to create something similar to Minecraft but in space working like EVE online with proper strategy elements faction building and unique PVP and PVE content. Not only does the game's current code technically unable to support such a thing but there is barely any proper groundwork for the mentioned systems in it reaching into the 6th year since its birth.
As of 2018 now we stand before a community which had enough. Be it either new changes to the game they don't like, the excessively slow development of features or the lack of honesty from the developers side. There are two sides of the crowd. There are the ones from way back the veterans who followed through hell and are here to tell their long boring stories of the past and how they are angry of what became of the thing they fought so hard for and the newborns who are just checking in asking around about this fancy looking huge box in the middle of the room covered in dust and cry as they realize there is nothing inside it. Both story ends sadly and in the end of the day it is the author to blame.
There is a legacy this game will leave behind. This legacy will be either a lesson to the very few daring enough to open this huge box or a huge gift which the whole neighborhood will talk about for many many years to come. This is the crucial point in time the fate of this legacy will be decided either by the author the actors or destiny. I'm personally a guy who likes stories with a good ending so I will keep on rooting for this good ending and act as the foreteller of a prophecy.
I hope for a time my short answer will be just an ABSOLUTELY!
