i can't give an unbiased answer because i come from a place of nostalgia. that said i did replay it a few years ago and did think it was still a lot of fun
basically you travel to places dictated by elemental moons to get macguffins before the bad guys take them for Evil. it's a very basic plot but the characters are very charming even if it's tropey
and the reputation system rewards you for playing a smart captain who thinks ahead and is optimistic but still careful to take his crew's wellbeing into consideration
