In it's default settings, this game is more arcade-y than simulation, which for me hit the sweet spot of doing pretend work but not feeling like it's real work. Plays fantastic with a gamepad and on the Steam Deck. I loved optimizing my runs and managing the stuff in and around my cabin and feeling like I'm squeezing every bit of performance out of my truck where possible. The different zones offer plenty of variety and challenge for when you want to mix it up, or you can just travel the lanes, honking at drivers that pass you buy, enjoying the country music on the radio. Does what it says on the tin really, REALLY well.

Truck kind of sucks at being a truck or ship. sure it can haul stuff but it sure as hell sucks at doing anything but going in a straight line. It turns like a barge floating down a river just drifts off into on coming traffic even when actively trying. It feels like you have to over correct to get it to turn at all. they want you to mage thruster heat at all times while dogging traffic, debris, and a truck will not stay at speed forcing you on the throttle constantly, yet they put the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ heat gauge on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ roof. Driving feels like you are on ice with brakes that are stuck on all while trying to keep your car from overheating with a non functing gauge, while other drives have zero breaks or streering. AI drivers are on rials for the most part maybe a minor change in course, most of the time they just sound the horn and ram into if you are even slightly in their path. ♥♥♥♥ breaks or steering for them just ramming speed.....

lack of a proper tutorial and vertical thrusters made this game more clunky and frustrating than i was expecting. i was looking forward to sitting back relaxing while playing this grind but too many things made it annoying, especially trying to dock in space without the ability to move up or down. disappointingly, i had to refund.

This game is too much of a space game to be a trucking game, but also too much of a trucking game to be a space game. But it's a really cool space trucking game. A good variety of areas, with their unique features, a nice "side mission", and a matching soundtrack to tie it all up. It was very enjoyable.

Star Trucker is a really awesome blend of space game and simulator. It's approachable and let's the player have complete customization on difficulty settings and how the game plays (more sim, vs more story, vs more mechanical, etc). It's got a great balance on "grind" that gives you the simulator feel of "getting work done" but doesn't demand 100's or 1000's of hours of your time to complete. Mission rewards are marginal at best early in making your first few upgrades feel really rewarding as you scrape by but also risky because a bad crash can leave you with a hefty repair bill that makes you think twice before running wide open through a debis field. I was also was impressed with the way the story plays out. What seems like odd side jobs at first blends together in a solid way. The characters on the CB Radio keep the game feeling alive and bring a lot of great and authentic feeling personality to the game that would otherwise just be a quiet and monotonous grind through the void. The skill tree and progression is cleverly linked to "certifications" that unlock different types of jobs while the story drives unlocking new tools and areas in a way that works really well together. Letting the player pick and choose how quickly to progress or what types of jobs to specialize in makes it feel more like a open space sand box to play in.. this also keeps the challenges varied as different areas present different challenges while different types of jobs can completely change the way the truck handles or your approach to how you drive. Truck upgrades feel meaningful and very much impact the way your truck performs in a noticeable way; while cosmetics are unlocked through challenges and achievements which feels rewarding and when combined with heavy penalties on damage, repairs, or not following the rules (i.e. skipping out on a weigh station) - creates a lot of immersion and attachment to the truck. Lastly I'll say the universe is beautiful and satisfying to explore. Each sector I've seen so far has a different look and feel or sometimes new hazards involved. The soundtrack is good and lends itself to the characters, the world building, and that "trucker" feel too.. albeit the playlist was pretty short. The other "Truck Sim Stations" you can change to on the radio are a good way to hold up that shortfall but the songs there are modern day hits and can sometimes feel out of place depending on what's playing.. All in all - impressed with Star Trucker and highly recommend. Honestly, Ive always been curious about these "truck sim" games but was hesitant for fear of them being boring... Despite seeing people dump 1000's of hours into them... But I also love space games. The "Firefly Universe" is something I sorely miss and this game feels very similar to that, Hard space Shipbreaker, and others like it. Not sure how this would compare to ETS or ATS but Star Trucker seemed like the perfect introduction into these types of games in a setting I already knew and loved.
