I won't be lying, this is not a game for everyone. It is weird. Controls are weird. Story is kinda missing. It feels like an unfinished project. Partly, because it is (check its history, there are a few good articles on that).
For someone like me, with a decent knack for space exploration, learning mechanics, getting in trouble and getting out of it - it's worth checking out.
Playing this.. feels like flying huge, slow, decently-multifunctional large space ship. Wanna shoot pirate fighters? Hah, just forget it. You won't turn fast enough, not mentioning your main gun array shoots bolts spaced so apart that fighters will simply fly between shots. Send some pilots in fighters after them. Want to land on a planet? Lol. With a huge warp-capable spaceship? Forget it. You'll just crash. Send shuttle, tanks, mining drone/etc. Why mine? to mine materials needed for repair, because you won't find magic health packs lying around the galaxy. Bored sitting in the deck? You can pilot that figher or shuttle yourself, and yeah, get killed, permadeath, no free respawns, Commander. Just joking, there are saves and you can load anytime. If I recall well, that is. It's been years.
I love(d) that game, but it's a weird game. It has some bugs. It has some huge gaps, like, drop on a planet, find enemy base, raze it, survive, and ... nothing. But somehow doing things against all odds left me with this crazy inner feeling of an achievement. Learning how to control things takes time. Learning what things really mean takes time. Learning not to do stupid things. Yeah, landing and razing an enemy base on a planet might be boring after tenth time, just like observing what your mining drone found on that moon, it gets boring. But succeeding in doing this or that for the first time after so many failures.. :]

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
