I haven't played it since WoW still has me sucked into a black hole I may never crawl out of, but the reviews seemed to be on the good side. Many reviewers didn't like the resource grind that anyone who played Star Control II may remember dominates the early game. Apparently that was replicated in Origins and modern gamers don't go for it.
Anyway, the legal dispute between the development team of Star Control: Origins (StarDock) and the creators of Star Control II (Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III) has just gotten even uglier. Star Control: Origins was taken off of Steam and GoG due to a DMCA takedown notice by Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III. StarDock published their response on their website. The courts will have to decide this eventually, but the spat between the two teams is all too public for now.
