Rebel Galaxy

I liked it, quite a different take on the space genre. Not at all realistic, but why must everything be? Reminded me a lot of Freelancer in style. The game gets very repetitive though, but I had many hours of fun with it nonetheless.

The game gets very repetitive though

That's one negative point I read several times, and that's one thing that is indeed bothering me a bit. Don't like when games are too repetitive, as they get tedious then. But if you like it, it's less annoying. Had the problem lately with AC: Black Flag, quite liked the ship battles in the beginning, but later, I tried to avoid them, as I got really bored. Have to say that in AC: Black Flag, everything got a bit boring throughout the game, as the side missions were the same over and over again, just concentrated on the main story, and that was fine.

Bought the game now on PS4, but I have to play other stuff first.

Funny you should mention the Black Flag naval battles, the battles in Rebel Galaxy were heavily inspired by it. So it's been described as a cross between Freelancer and Black Flag several times. It has some fresh ideas compared to other space games like you piloting a large and cumbersome vessel instead of a small fighter, and the western/blues/rock music choice giving it that lawless frontier vibe. But once that novelty wears off and the repetetiveness kicks in...

Still worth the cost even if you can't bear playing all the way through it in my opinion.

Another funny thing, I noticed something strangely familiar with one of the aliens and discovered it actually spoke very very bad norwegian! It sounded google-translated, google is not good at translating norwegian and the alien was making the same mistakes as google usually does. Plus, it sounded like it was being spoken by someone who has zero knowledge of scandinavian phonetics. Sounded more like an Uruk-Hai to me! Intrigued, I did some searching and it turns out this was exactly what they'd done! One of the devs had just pasted the english script into google and read its norwegian translation with no idea how to. Voila, alien language!

Interestingly for you perhaps, another of the aliens in the game speaks finnish in the same manner! I never recognised which one it was when I played through it though. The norwegian one was a mission giver you meet relatively early and had missions concerning some Phial of somethingsomething.
