Starcom: Unknown Space

Really good game. Story feels like a cross between Star Trek Voyager and Stargate's Ori arc. Art direction is excelent. Combined with the ship customization and resource management aspect it really makes you feel those "lost in space" vibes. Lengt is also perfect. Not so long that it overstays it's welcome but also not too short. In my opinion more than worth it's full price.

Really enjoyable space exploration and combat game, reminds me a bit of star control, you control one ship but you have the freedom to design it the way you want, fairly large research tree and map, took me around 25 hours to beat. The only negative is that sometimes it felt like I was a bit "stuck" i.e. missing direction where to go next as I ran out of active objectives and you have to solve that by exploring and waiting for dialogue to understand what to do next.

Fun RPG spaceship game with ship customization, excellent visuals and very immersive. Worth a buy!

The game is nice enough - you fly ship, do tasks, explore, do events. Main fun is combat, shooting away parts of enemy ships which disables their weapons and stuff (and eventually blows them up). This can become for the most part a bit trivial eventually, as you progress tech tree, most typical enemies can become kinda too easy to beat [spoiler] (at least with the fixed gun tree, once you build bunch of them angled on your side) [/spoiler] (UPDATE: Actually there are QUITE A FEW touch fights later!). There are few enemies/fights here and there that are an exception, but mostly. Planetary events become kinda boring over time as one ceases to be all that invested in them, though there are variable outcomes and some choices to be made that are meaningful. I dunno if there is some final boss yet. Most interesting part of replayability is probably about trying different weapon combinations as you can't really unlock everything in single playthrough.

This is a very fun space exploration game. The story pushes you forward, the repetitive exploration mechanic is addictive and the ship building and research are simple but fun. Clear recommendation
