Bite-size 4X game
I absolutely adore Slipways. I was always drawn to space 4X games, with their endless possibility for energent storytelling, intriguing races with different strategies, technologies and quirks. But considering that a single 4X campaign can last anywhere from 10 to 30 hours, I could never explore them to the fullest. Slipways feels lage a game tailor-made for me, cutting all the chaff, and leaving all the excitment I was looking for in 4X games thanks to it razor-sharp design. Hightly reccomended.

Perfect strategy game for Mac.
First off, let us get out of the way the most important bits. 1. Game runs like butter in native resolution on MacBook Air M1 from 2019. Even on infamous Big Sur system version that made many games unplayable. 2. Game is stable, does not crash unexpectedly. Having said that, I have already spent a good few hours trying to grow my galactic empire. Perfect for short bursts but also long sittings. I wouldn't call it a pure strategy game as it reassembles a more sophisticated and in depth space puzzle game than your typical 4X title. Nonetheless it provides hours of immersive and challenging fun.

Lovely, but too much rng
The game is really well done. It's solid. However I wouldn't say it is strategy, but a "tactical" game with a lot of luck. The game, basically, consists into connecting planets which needs resources. When you expand, you discover new planets, which may have the resource you need or not. Also, you have some research, but the most of it doesn't seems useful. There is a campaign with some special rules too, which unlocks other game modes with extra difficulty added. You cannot have a long term strategy in this game. You only adapt to the RNG, but frecuently, it becomes unmanageable and you need to look for another direction to expand your empire. That wouldn't be bad if you were trying to "win" against a rival. But this isn't that kind of game. It's a score based game, and if you consider "to win" reach 5 stars in each random map, after 35 hours of game I may tell you that some maps are simply impossible, you will never get that score. In other words: the RNG disables you from "winning" every map. After these game hours, I'm a bit bored because I know that I don't achieve max score due to bad luck, even playing safe, but had some nice moments.

Relaxing, challenging and beautiful
I loved this game since I tried on Pico8. The music is beautiful as well as the graphics. The gameplay loop is addictive, yet relaxing.
