Having played too many FPS and RTS titles of late, my mind has grown somewhat numb owing to the mindless repetition they offer. Space Rangers 2 was a refreshing break from the linear monotony, offering a vast virtual gaming experience of galactic proportions

Rather than outlining the game’s boundaries, and then setting you off upon a defined journey, Space Rangers 2 hands over control entirely to yourself. You initially choose what race you want to play as, which has an effect on how the game plays out, and then decide what parameters you wish to play within. You can set not only the difficulty, but also how the rest of the galaxy interacts with you, what equipment you wish to start out with, and plenty more; allowing players to customise the game according to how they want to play.
