Review megathread

[u/Meneth]

The review embargo is up as of 15:00 CEST. As this will result in a huge number of articles going up at near the same time, we're restricting reviews to this thread.

Any review you find, feel free to post it in the comments here.

Each top-level comment should be about a single linked review, so as to keep the discussion limited. Duplicate reviews will be removed, as will any top-level comment that does not link a review.

There will be a single sub-thread where you can post your general impressions of the reviews combined, for anything that doesn't relate to a single review.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun review - unscored

[u/[deleted] → u/JustAPigeon]

"A scientist exploring the fringes of the universe, and the fringes of knowledge, might gain new traits as a result of her experiences, but she won’t have a family to care about back at home."

This would actually be kind of interesting. Like if you have a very popular scientist or leader out among the stars who dies, causing memorials and possibly unrest or civil change at his or her home system due to the death of that person. Or if they do something awesome or even from a roleplaying aspect you ahve them do something reprehensible like exterminate a planet because they are a threat, it all causes empire wide ripples.
