Evochron has a ton of QoL and "get to the point" gameplay decisions.

Yes I miss the slick graphics and sound design of Elite, the noises and atmosphere of a busy space station in Elite are second to none.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

It looks like you can even devote resources to researching new weapons and components not normally available.
Difficulty

tldr; Far more in depth than the competitors with a learning curve and UI to match.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The biggest potential this game has is for multiplayer, dealing with NPCs is fine,...to a point.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story: 8/10 (though that includes the comprehensive story of the Evochron/Arvoch universe!) Replay: 1/10, though that's only because there's little reason to ever stop playing your character to need a replay to begin with.
