Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game

I'll leave explaining the good and bad to all the other reviews on here and instead tell you about one particular aspect of this game that really impresses me, as I replay it. The design of player progression, I think, is brilliant in the way it allows flexibility of playstyles. You're able to play a full party of 4, a lone wolf, or anything in between, and the game works and scales well. Strength is in numbers, but the way XP is earned in this game means a lone character will get more of it, instead of splitting it with his party, therefore becoming stronger, faster. The same design principles apply for the three types of conflict resolution in the game: combat, stealth, and talking. A full party might split its skills between the three, or all focus on one, but the exact same goes for a lone player character, with the understanding that a jack of all trades is a master of none. But each skill unlocks different loots, different ways to resolve quests, more content, etc. The whole system is quite tightly and well designed, in my opinion.
