I just recently learned there was a HD remake for Freelancer. So I've been taking a nostalgia trip all weekend. Still such a good game. And free/abandonware now!

Edit: Game can be found here: https://archive.org/details/Freelancer_201807

Nice, this is definitely going on my list. Have not found a space combat game that got close to the level of freelancer. Everspace 2 comes close, but did not have the same spark so far.

I've been hoping Everspace 2 turns out to be a worthy successor. The first one was fun but didn't scratch the Freelancer itch. I haven't played the second yet.

I think it is still worth checking out. I did not have spent much time in the finished game, but played the early access version for a while. Might be more polished an better now. And also back then it came close to the freelancer feeling, just was not quite there yet. Or maybe my memories are just better than the actual game was, they are about 20 years old now 😅
