I haven't tried Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, or EVE: Valkyrie, though I've heard of all of them and live in the US. Only reason I'm trying Star Citizen atm is because it's free. I'm not planning on buying any of them, at least not for a while, I would but money and stuff.
I know that Star Citizen by far has the most hype and popularity, but I know that doesn't mean it's the best of the 3. As I've said I haven't played any of them, but my understanding of them and why to play them is like this:
- Elite Dangerous: Most complete out of all of them atm, has the most polish on combat atm
- Star Citizen: More or less a tech demo at this point though has been forming more and more into a game recently, has the most potential and in a few years will almost certainly be the best experience
- EVE Valkyrie: Pretty much only reason choose this over the others is if you play EVE: Online, as you have a lot of incentive to do so
Edit/disclaimer:
My conceptions about the games may be wrong, though from what I've heard it's likely true.
Edit 2:
It seems that there's a bug where all new users can't play the tutorial and it hasn't been fixed yet. :facepalm:
