With some exceptions, complexity (or the lack thereof) isn't the issue with Rebirth. Old guard fanatics will disagree, but I largely blame them for the convoluted state of the franchise since 1999, so their ire amuses me in that sense. The problem with Rebirth, apart from the bugs, is a set of absolutely mind-boggling design choices by Egosoft. They are a responsive company, so I'm reasonably confident that most of the issues will be addressed in future patches. That said, however, even I am inclined to suggest waiting to buy, because I think the current experience is far below what the game could (and hopefully will) be. I've been fortunate enough to not encounter many of the problems others have faced, but YMMV.

Yeah, and it reads more like an angry, entitled forum rant than a "professional review."


People need to stop with accusing those who don't like a product as being entitled. As a paying customer you are entitled.
