Lilith Odyssey

amazing sound design, amazing design and humor, pots of procedural nonsense but also funny writing i love it

Compelling, gentle, pretty, exploration / survival / quest game. Probably the best such game out there now.

Plays Okay on Linux, proton experimental, potential CTD when changing between windowed/fullscreen modes.Reminds me somewhat of a lo-fi, more relaxed, No Man's Sky. Obviously as a small indie project it doesn't have the depth of NMS, but sometimes you just want to take your brain out and chill. There are some small bugs in the tutorial, such as travel to a misnamed planet, but this is EA so kind of expected. Be aware it has no autosave system, I do recommend saving frequently.

Can't even get through the tutorial. It doesn't really show you what to do, it just tells you to use some help files which are not worded very well if you are a new player. Try to follow the steps and it just won't work. Posted a question on the community forum here on steam, no responses. Don't waste your money.

Space happy. Planet sad.

Refunded. No steamdeck support. (No controller support at all and WAY too many controls to map realisticially). Come on guys, its 2023.

Wow! What an incomprehensible mess. The developers looked at games like Spore or No Man's Sky and thought: [i]"What if we made this overly complicated and boring?"[/i] This isn't a game, this is the physical embodiment of whatever made-up nonsense the characters in Star Trek are talking about when they're flying around. It's just a bunch of overlapping screens that tell you too much but too little all at once. It tries too hard to be a game about nothing but also a game with a task or linear story to complete. You fly out to planets to find resources for you ship, why? So you can do it again, and again! Why? Who knows. It somehow took the fun redundancy of open-world survival games and made the redundancy feel too redundant. The "end goal" is just to waste of few hours figuring out the controls and where you're supposed to go so you feel like you've done something and you run out of time to refund the game when you discover you're literally doing nothing.
