Phenomenal graphics, amazing procedurally generated stellar objects, and amazing massively-multiplayer gameplay.

This game is worth the $60 including Horizons to land on planets and I only got it for $15. What a steal!

Edit: After another 1700 hours, I can still say I love playing this game with friends. The community is a bit smaller now, "gankers" (griefers) aren't really present anymore, and its easier to explore with the advent of the player-driven programs and services like the Deep Space Support Array (DSSA) and Fuel Rats.

Although I have a difficult time recommending Elite in 2024 because of Odyssey, I still do. It is still a great game and even better with friends to fly and explore, the combat is very balanced and fun to grind for, and when FDev finally decides that their business model requires them to put focus back in Elite, the lore will be amazing as well moving forward.
