If you read up on the planets for fun, enjoy movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, or Moon, or find the idea of hauling cargo from system to system and maybe getting in the odd fight along the way appealing, there is very little else out there like Elite Dangerous. I’m highly recommending it despite the tedium in its game play and the long periods of time you will spend just looking at stars/reading stuff on a screen. It is a beautiful, one of a kind experience that I cherish, one of my favourite games in the last few years, and the PlayStation 4 release is no exception.

It isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, especially if you’re looking for instant action or a linear playing experience. That said, with a little patience, and a bit of imagination, Elite Dangerous is an extremely rewarding game that is worth experiencing.

If the PS4 edition is you first contact with Elite, you’re in for a treat, as you receive a game that has been evolving for almost 3 years (but hasn’t aged a bit!) along with Horizons expansion. [09/2017, p.30]

Even after getting over any initial frustrations, the frequently vexing mechanics will test your patience time and time again, but despite these issues there’s a magic to Elite Dangerous that will keep you playing. Whether it’s a close encounter with a white dwarf, an intense dogfight, or a just cruising between star systems, the freedom and opportunity laid across its billions of stars means that Elite Dangerous offers spectacular space-tourism all from the comfort of your sofa.

Elite: Dangerous delivers a deep, fascinating space sim experience, with a tremendous potential but also a very steep learning curve.

Thankfully, whether you’re soaking in the cosmos around you, banking large sums of credits from a well-planned trading haul, or surviving a harrowing encounter with space pirates in dazzling ship-to-ship combat, Elite Dangerous has plenty to keep me excited to come back.

The best, most realistic space simulation i have ever played. Absolute freedom, huge galaxy, big variety of missions, realistic challenge andThe best, most realistic space simulation i have ever played. Absolute freedom, huge galaxy, big variety of missions, realistic challenge and not just a pewpew space shooter, pvp and pve multiplayer. This game has it all. So far i haven’t encounter any bugs (the game is already out on pc and xbox a long time now so it would be weird if it had bugs) and it runs smoothly on ps4 and ps4 pro alike. Only negative thing is the online only solo game cause i would like to be able to play solo at least offline. This is the space game I’ve been waiting for all my life. No Man’s Sky was great but it was a survival game is space not a simulation. I’ll be playing this for years to come. Hopefully they won’t ever put down the servers or at least make the solo offline sometime in the future. Space sim lovers have to play this and everybody else who don’t afraid of a challenge you should try it. Top notch!… Expand

Keep in mind however to spend numerous hours to master the steep learning curve — even with a big number of tutorials included.
There really are many aspects of the game without any explanation given that simply have to be tackled. But after that you can experience such a huge and wonderful game without any borders players get put in, without any story borders or restriction on how and where to be played. You simply start on place X with your little Sidewinder and get to experience the universe, as bounty hunter, miner, trader, pirate…… it’s simply up to you.… Expand -

The sandbox-style gameplay echoes the original but in today’s world it feels a little lacking in narrative momentum and the punishment for death or law-breaking is far too lenient making it feel a little too much like a constant exercise in level-grinding. But it’s incredibly immersive if the idea of space tourism appeals to you.… Expand

Elite is not a game, it’s a boring space / loading screen simulator.
Graphics: 9/10
Sound Design : 10/10 (it’s so good you forget aboutElite is not a game, it’s a boring space / loading screen simulator.Graphics: 9/10
Sound Design : 10/10 (it’s so good you forget about the laws of physics like you re not meant to hear sound in a vaccum)
Cockpit Experience 9/10 sooooo immersive, even better in VR
Flight model, dynamics 9/10 it’s quite fun to fly and pew pew
Network: 5/10 limited to wings of 4 lots of instancing issues, almost unplayable
Gameplay : 2/10 (very limited and inconsistent, chaotic) This is the biggest problem of this title. The game is split in many activities ( that have little to no-overlap) and gets overall very basic, repetitive and dull.You will be jumping stars and looking a lot at a loading screen and you are meant to like it!
MMO : 0 /10 all you can do is shoot others or drop/pickup cargo … the money in game cannot be transfered. There are lots gameplay limitation that ruins the game (cannot carry upgrades around . ..) pushing players to find loopholes to get around those … leading the dev to create more nerf / constraints to block players to do what they want = no freedom = more salt = less fun. The only impact you can have is the label of the faction controling a system or a nametag on a planet for having discovered it first. This «thing» is soporific!
Difficulty : 3/10 there s quite a bit to learn before you feel confortable flying around., you may feel like burning your joystick while you are learning… It’s really difficult to not get bored too as all the end-game content is simply hidden away behind a soul-crushing repetitive grind that will make you regret to play this game.
If you like space games, have friends to play with, and have a lot of imagination, then this game is for you : it will provide the world for your space adventures. But don’t expect too much variety in missions and activities. The bare extra-ordinary content will be created by you and what you decide to do and will always revolve around doing the same missions or shooting others.
Space travel is soooo slow and long, this game will require a lot of patience, a lot of time just looking at a loading screen.… Expand

The game is super slow on playstation 4 slim. No VR support. Pc version is awesome.

I dont understand the positive reviews on this game or what kind of people pick this up and decide to throw away hours learning basic controlsI dont understand the positive reviews on this game or what kind of people pick this up and decide to throw away hours learning basic controls — not playing a game or having any fun — on an offchance they may like this. It’s easier to get into an IVY league school than learn to play this overly complicated POS. The brief experience I had: UI is a nightmare and pukeworthy, travel is tedium, basic controls arent explained and/or are counterintuitive as fk. Its open world, great, but after getting through the overly brief and not-so-helpful tutorial, 20 minutes into a mission with no clue how to do anything, the only «fun» is just writing this review.
Proponents of this game will talk about an online flight manual or similar bs. However, I bought a game to play rather than sign up for a weekend reading project. Is it reasonable to ask a new player to invest hours learning controls and how to navigate the retarded navigation and cockpit mechanics before they know if they even want to play this flaming turd of a game? If a game needs a manual to get through a BEGINNER MISSION, there is an obvious design flaw imo. I’d rather watch bread mold in real-time than spend another minute on this POS.… Expand

Others, that this is a scavenger who disappeared under the rubble, who continues to look for something in the ruins of an abandoned research institute.
