I love this game! If you don't know what ED is, here's a quick summery: ED is a spaceship simulator... but don't recoil in horror at the word 'simulator', I know the word brings to mind shit graphics, gameplay and actually no realism at all. ED is incredible, and you can play with a controller, like i do, keyboard or joystick. Generally joystick is best, but it plays very well with a controller. Anyway... this game is a sandbox, you can do literally anything, as long as it relates to trading, shooting or exploration. So pretty much a normal space sim. However, unlike Eve, the X series etc, it has 400 billion star systems!!!!
WHAT? you are probably saying (or not because the game has been out awhile).
Yes, the game is set in a life-size milky way galaxy!!!

This has never really been attempted but it seems to be the big thing at the moment, like with No Mans Sky. It is not possible to land on any planets but it is speculated that will be available later.
But is fun enough without it. I was happy to glide gracefully through the stunning galaxy, sightseeing nebulas, stars and planets. It is even possible to fly down and dart around a planets rings, which are rendered in stunning detail.
