Parkan 2 is one of those indy, raw gems that just work. It has a straight forward game design that harkens back to the first decade of the twenty first century, along with graphics that squeeze out beauty despite the limitations of the engine. What can I say? I'm having a lot of fun for just a few bucks.

I've been seeing FTL pop up quite a bit over the years, but resisted even looking into the game. I've played my share of super serious space simulators over the years, so the premise of and look of FTL did not appeal to me... until I started playing it. It's very much a crew and ship management game. Simple, intuitive, and just fun. FUN FUN FUN! There, I said it.
