Beware that Elite requires an immediate 20 gig update and full-time internet connection, even in solo play. These factors might have put me off buying it if I'd know in advance, but I'm glad I did. The game is incredibly detailed with one of the steepest learning curves out there. The PS4 controller actually works well, but with over 60 functions assigned to different button combos it takes ages to stop making mistakes that will ruin your game. Only one ‘live’ save game at a time with brutal consequences for mistakes meant quite a few restarts for me. However if you were a fan of Elite back in the 1980's, or enjoy simulators and want a space trading/combat/mining/exploration game then you won't be disappointed. Graphics are very good, sound effects are brilliant, physics engine is great, and the game is an MMO so you can get out there and play with others. Plenty of forums around that will save you time and frustration to quickly learn tips for fast advancement, such as sneaky bounty hunting and mining asteroid cores (my pathway to 100 million plus credits in three weeks of occasional play). Depth of play is truly amazing but it's accompanied by the most frustration I've felt about a game for decades – as well as the most enjoyment. I suggest lots of research before considering this game.
