Almost exactly what I want in a sim
_Disclaimer, I received this game for free in a GoG giveaway- First off, this game has 90% of the features I want in a space sim. - great graphics - great retrofuturistic aesthetic - Build my own ship -Be able to walk around that ship -fill it with automated crew - land on planets -fight off invaders and board derelicts and enemy vessels. - manage space resources - massive galaxy to explore What it doesn't have is ship-to-ship combat or a galaxy that feels lived in and active. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? The major detractors are rather small, but overall lead to losing a star. you and your crew are clones, and as such have 0 in the personality department. the game can get very repetetive very quickly. Now, I happen to enjoy a bit of tedium in my sim games, so it doesn't detract too too much, however I recognize that when I'm just holding the "E" key a lot to speed up production or scanning, perhaps there would be a better way to do things, maybe a mini-game... there's also a barebones story, basically, the background IS the story, no development. This game has so many great features and they are actually executed very competently, I'm really, REALLY impressed that there's essentially an FTL type game in the first person and it plays with (in my experience) zero bugs or glitches. I love that you have to pay attention to infestations, because any time you bring something onto your ship, be it space scrap or minerals mined from a planet, you run the risk of alien critters stowing away. Kill these bugs FAST or they create large nests and may even kill your crew. you get more crew by cloning using biomatter and making sure you have sufficient biosphere (Oxygen or other atmospheric gases created in the greenhouse) For reasons not explored, crew don't eat, they just breathe, so there's no food management.
