Good, but not for me – Second Galaxy Review

The thing that immediately turned me off was the lack of autonomy in the tutorial: it had the sort of system that locks the screen so you have to press the button they want you to press. That system has never worked for me, since it doesn't let me explore fully, pushing all the buttons so I can find out where they lead or what they do. Also, I came to this game hoping I could pilot my ship around and have fun in open space. I played for an hour and a half, and I'd done nothing but push the fire buttons while my ship circled my targets on autopilot, and get locked into doing the next chapter quest. There are no joystick controls, which is what one would hope for in an open world exploration game (or what I would hope for, at least). I haven't reached a stage where I actually get to explore the galaxy freely, but if it's not there in an hour and a half then I don't have the patience to reach it. That being said, I can tell this game has a lot of effort put into it. It seems like a good game, but it just doesn't work for me.
