Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages

NOT RECOMMENDED. This game in one word: DULL. Because all you do is kill mindless amounts of identical enemy crafts. The gameplay is so superficial that an average players get bored of it in an hour or two. It is very telling that the all players average is 3h 12min for a supposedly 30 h game. It drags on too long and the gameplay keeps getting worse rather than better. The dialogue gets much more fillery and boring after the PITA section and game design flaws start to become more frequent. E.g. suggesting the weakly-armed, stealth R-crafts for the battle-heavy missions with no stealth elements. The Lighthouse one is so blatantly broken it's not funny: if you choose to side with one side, the next mission is an automatic Mission Failure. The main plot is very weak "seek the random person you randomly met for the rest of the game while doing obvious filler missions." Oh, there is the fun part that wastes a lot of time: useless mission infos (read: you have no idea what to do when the target waypoint is not there) and no mission checkpoints or saving. Some of the missions are also perfection-only e.g. the races, meaning that you need to have the exact setup and also make zero mistakes, to be able to beat them even on the lowest difficulty. This also applies to some of the longer missions. Have fun uselessly wasting your time with it. I guess that is "fun" to some people.

Usually I'm not really into space shooter games, but I have to say this one surprised me big time, not only it has excellent writing with a great sense of humor, but it's also challanging (it has a lot of difficulty settings) while being fun to play. The only warning I can think of is that it may take a bit getting used to the controls if you are not used to systems like this. Anyways I really think it's a good game, and for this low price tag it's an absolute steal.

I'm usually not a big fan of shooter type games, but the level of ship customization adds variation and depth to the combat. The main story is very linear with little choice, and the game does have it's flaws. but it was still enjoyable.

One of my favourite games. great customization and diversity of playstyles You might want to get it on steam though because of workshop features. They are coming out with a new game in 2016 I look forward to as well.

I got this after I heard it could be played with a controller, but sadly it doesn't seem to support logitech controllers (or possibly any non-xbox ones in general). I'm extremely disappointed in this, how can anyone make a game that only excepts one kind of controller? I state this first since I didn't find out till after I'd made the purchase since no one had said this before hand. That aside, the game play is essentially Asteroids with extreme graphics, maps and RPG elements. The story that I've seen so far is pretty funny and each mission has bonus objectives you can challenge yourself to complete for extra rewards. There is a lot of customization and personal choice in ships and weapon load outs that you can make which also makes it very nice in that aspect. I'd give this game 5 stars if playing with a mouse and keyboard wasn't so tedious and they had worked in support for controllers outside of just one one kind. This is actually the only time I've ever wanted to ask for a refund from GoG. Still, the game is simply too good to mark below three despite my disappointment.
