The game's story is described as intriguing and rich, set in a vast world filled with background lore, though it can feel quirky and lacking emotional depth due to the absence of human characters. Players can engage with the narrative at their own pace, balancing between main quests and various missions that impact the game world, despite some bugs and unmemorable side quests. Overall, while the storyline has its flaws, it is generally well-received for its complexity and immersive elements.
“Has an incredibly rich world to play and explore in, coupled with an intriguing story and background lore.”
“The story is interesting yet not in your face all the time; you can go through it at lightning speeds or soak up everything the game has to offer, including trade and courier missions alongside blasting enemy gliders to bits and collecting the goodies.”
“Imagine Morrowind or Stalker but in hovercars (the game calls them gliders) with a dash of faction management and an open world filled with mostly RNG quests that help you accrue resources, as well as more complex story missions that offer a surprising amount of lore and text for you to delve into.”
“The story is undeniably quirky and lacking human feeling because there are no humans.”
“Clan management is rather limited (having two sliding bars for adjusting role ratio) and having a clan doesn't provide any actual benefit as it simply serves as a plot point.”
“Missions are granted at bases, most that I saw were standard fetch, delivery, terminate, etc. There are game progression missions too, but sorting these from the rest is difficult and it should be so for immersion's sake.”

The music in the game is praised for its atmospheric quality and suitability to the setting, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, players have reported issues with a corrupted OGG music file that causes crashes, prompting some to disable the music or find workarounds to enjoy the game without interruptions. Despite these technical problems, the music is generally well-received, with some reviewers rating it highly.
“Suiting music to the setting of the game, making the general atmosphere is pretty amazing.”
“Good story, stylish design, great music, big open world with own secrets.”
“Music/sounds 5/5”
“This Steam version seems to have a corrupted OGG music file in the game's music folder that makes the game crash to a black screen resolution lock each time the player character dies. The trick is to delete or rename that folder, or find the bad file. The path is /steam/steamapps/common/aim2/data/music.”
“Had to disable music since it plays in loops due to some bug.”

The gameplay is described as highly enjoyable and immersive, featuring an open-world environment where players control a spaceship-turned-hovercraft. While the mechanics can be clunky, the freedom to explore and interact with a dynamic world filled with various entities adds to the fun, making it appealing for those who appreciate a simulated experience. Overall, the gameplay is rated exceptionally high, with some reviewers giving it a 6/5.
“Everything in this game is mindblowing, especially the plot and gameplay.”
“Although the lore and backstory here is a bit bizarre even for science-fiction fans, the gameplay is very fun, as you control a spaceship that was forced to be a hovercraft.”
“If you like to be in a simulated world where every entity is trying to accomplish something (which may include murdering you and all your friends), where you are free to roam and progress as you wish, and don't mind some very clunky gameplay, this might be worth trying.”
“Game with open world and Mount and Blade-like gameplay.”
“Gameplay 6/5”

The grinding aspect of the game is described as tedious and potentially overwhelming, appealing primarily to players who enjoy grinding in moderation. While exploration offers some engagement, the repetitive nature of gameplay can become monotonous once players become familiar with the mechanics.
“Beware, this game is probably more than you asked for, or tedious by nature.”
“But other than exploring the sectors, it's very tedious to actually play it after getting the hang of it.”
“Recommended to people who enjoy a little grinding every now and then.”
