Great game, major drawbacks – EVE Echoes Review

If you’re willing to pay to play, this is an outstanding game. You will not enjoy this game and you will not have a single ounce of fun if you don’t pay to play. The level of detail and immersion is second to none. This game allows you to create an experience for yourself that is hyperrealistic and completely immerses you in the idea of intergalactic exploration. However, your success in this game is directly correlated with a level of risk that you are willing to take - in trying to make enough money to make the game playable, on several occasions I lost over half the in-game currency I had farmed, ruining weeks worth of work because a ship was destroyed by a group of players. It takes days, weeks even to truly earn enough IGC to make meaningful purchases that make the game fun. But when time and time again you are set back to 0... it’s not fun. The game is truly ruined by the requirement that to make it playable, you have to pay for it, and that literal weeks worth of work will be destroyed as you’re simply trying to play the game.
