I found it enjoyable if lightweight. I was pleased it was relatively short and didn't outstay it's welcome. A few of the characters I really liked, but the actual driving narrative felt very throwaway. I dug the more colourful planets but honestly I don't know how much more milage is left in that cartoony retro-future aesthetic more generally.

Obviously its politics were a bit better than most games, but again, pretty lightweight.

I think the problem with all these types of games is that usually you just help one faction 'win' or come out on top. Their ideologies are more like banners to attach your self to and support as their ascendency (or not) never really alters the world that much. You don't get to experience it in any meaningful way.
