The recurring themes across 182 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
- Varied and engaging gameplay: mining asteroids*, fending off pirates, being a pirate, and a surprisingly diverse set of mission types
One nice thing about Drifter is that you can fly with the keyboard and mouse or with a fairly simple gamepad.
Has constant 60 FPS on my ancient Linux machine which has only 2GB RAM which it has to share with the low-spec Intel integrated graphics card.
This game reminds me of a single player version of EVE Online and that's a good thing.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
