Yet, when playing Elite, I get the same feeling as when looking up at the stars on a dark and moonless night - my hungry soul is fed. It’s a game set in a scientifically modelled, full-scale replica of the whole Milky Way galaxy, and as with that setting, the game is truly vast, remarkably cold, and frequently incomprehensible. There’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” about Elite Dangerous that I’ve never been able to put my finger on.
What’s the one game keeping you a dual booter? Maybe it’s PUBG, or Rainbow Six: Siege? Maybe it used to be Overwatch? For me, that game was Elite Dangerous, and one year on from Proton’s release, I have a story to tell.
