Space Rangers 2: Reboot Review

Without doubt Space Rangers 2 is a massive game and this reboot edition is even bigger with more maps and battles and quests and missions added to the mix than most similar games start with! Add to that the fact that Space Rangers 2 also comes with the first Space Rangers game and you have one massive package. The ludicrous variety of featured game types shouldn't work, but it does. The different sections are by turns cheap, overly simple, and fiddly or badly translated but never to the extent that these flaws actually stop your enjoyment of the game.
Space Rangers is definitely an oddity. Any one part of it taken on its own would be little more than a quickly forgotten distraction but put together they somehow bounce off each other and build something better. The minor flaws are just that, minor. The games only real failing is that it lacks a deep and engaging plot to drive you on in your adventurers. Even then though, there is plenty here to keep a (forgiving) player hooked for days on end.
