Moonrakers: Luminor is a fantastic free expansion that enhances the base game's single-player and co-op modes, making it a great addition for fans of the original board game.
The game offers a unique cooperative experience reminiscent of FTL, allowing players to work together in a fun and engaging way, which is a refreshing change from the competitive nature of the base game.
The interface is sleek and thematic, with great atmospheric music that complements the gameplay, making it enjoyable for both solo and duo play.

The game can be confusing at times due to unclear rules and scenarios, which may hinder the overall experience for some players.
There are technical issues reported, such as the game freezing on certain devices, which can be frustrating for players looking to enjoy it with family or friends.
The solo mode can feel overly administrative and less enjoyable compared to the cooperative experience, leading to a less satisfying gameplay experience for solo players.
