15 years ago i was collecting Pelit, and it was my favorite gaming magazine, but they sadly stopped selling it in Estonia.

Tuomas Honkala did the main review with Marko Mäkinen and Antti Ilomäki doing their own small reviews.
Thanks for answer. I was thinking maybe it was Nnirvi.
It's on Zero Punctuation... bear in mind he amusingly slags off pretty much every game out there, this could be fun!

Edit: Ok, it looks like he actually liked the game which is pretty rare for Yahtzee
I like his reasoning for the loss of offline
I don't know if this has already been posted, but BitGamer over at Bit-Tech (an overclockers gaming and hardware website) gave Elite a game of the year award a couple weeks back:
http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2014/12/29/best-games-2014/3
"If you want more specific reasons why Elite is my pick for the best game of this year, here are two. The first is it does spaceships better than any other game I've played. Elite is a game of grand ideas, but it's how it transmits those ideas through the comparatively tiny cockpit of your spacecraft that makes it such a joy. The way the ships handle, the way they sound, the way almost every piece of information you need is communicated in-game via ship computers and readouts. The way you can crane your virtual neck and watch a star or planet speed past your vision, Elite's spaceships are conduits of awe, the translator through which you comprehend the universe."

Completely agree ... which is why I love the game and don't really play it too much ... it doesn't drag me in at all. Feels empty. I had higher hopes at the start.

"The best unfinished game of last year."
And it's by Brendan from Shut Up and Sit Down, no less! Sold. now to read this while I pretend to work.
ahhh, wish i cud swap with you right now, i even get it in the galaxy map, which makes it almost impossible to use right atm. opened a thread on it in the bug section, going to try out somthing someone kindly suggested to see if i can fix it.
I mostly use my joystick too, but do also find myself using the cursor alot for ease, since joystick sometimes requires alot of scrolling.
hmmm
"10 floating cargo cannisters vanishing into thin air, shortly after being dropped"
i think that one is working has intended, and not a bug.
The landing gear warning used to bug me too, until I realised it was triggered by the fact my landing gear were still in the process of deploying and I was near the pad. ED still has a number of flaws, but despite those I haven't so much as looked at another game now for months.

The above chunk of review is a tiny part of the whole review, which is worth a read.
