At first glance, I'm sure many players expected this to be a Star Wars like story, like me. Yes, the first 4 chapters are a bit boring, after all those are basically the introductions to the Atlas, the passengers and the crew, but from Ch. 5 onwards it starts to get exciting. Yes, there aren't as many starship battles, blaster fights, etc as expected, but at least there are crises and conflicts which still make the story sort of exciting, especially in the second half of the story (Ch. 14 onwards). Also, in this story you have to spend your diamonds wisely. You can end up spending diamonds on relatively unimportant choices (such as the laser cannons) and omitting several important ones which you think are unimportant (such as the panic room. I ended up saying "I should have done this" or "I should have done that" several times). One thing I can agree with some on is that the cost to save everyone is outrageous, in fact I think I spent more than 100 diamonds for that (luckily I stocked up), and there are so many people who need to be saved with diamonds, and worse, many of them are LIs (Deimos, Holmes and Zaniah, as well as Oberon. I saved them all because I couldn't stand the heartbreak should I not save them). Another thing I can agree on is that the ending could have been better. It's good that there's one best ending (which I mentioned in an earlier comment, and in fact I chose that one), but what about that award ceremony Vee mentioned in that ending? Or maybe a diamond choice to celebrate the victory with our LI? Instead, we go "We did it. They're gone." and that's it. I understand the reason for the bad reviews by some players, but overall this is still a story I will replay anytime soon.
