Star Control: Origins Review - A Faithful Reboot that Gets Old Quickly | GameCloud
(N4G PC)

Nick Ballantyne at GameCloud writes: `Star Control: Origins fails to capture the magic from its source material. The gameplay is dull, shallow and technically flawed, and its not like the story is super engaging either. Theres the occasional small-scale encounter that works well, but these alone arent enough to warrant a recommendation. I told one of my friends this afternoon to avoid buying the game, so not recommended seems about right. Hell, the fact I stopped playing after only 6 hours should give you an idea of how quickly this game loses its appeal. Its a shame because I know how good space games can be, its just that this one didnt quite cut it. One day, man, well have a No Mans Sky that doesnt suck`
