I wasn't aware I already had so many hours on this game already. If you're looking for a relatively realistic "dad game" of driving realistically plausible spaceships around collecting ore in the rings of Saturn, this is the game for you.

There's a ton of customizability with pretty much every part in your ship swappable and tunable and everything has one tradeoff for another.

Space combat is dangerous considering everyone is armed with "industrial mining tools" but also very rewarding once you've gotten a handle on how to succeed.

If you're not sure you want to pay for the game, try the demo. It's literally the game, but free with 0 restrictions. Try it if you don't believe me.

The game is updated essentially every day if you opt into the experimental build and saves have always carried forwards (but not always backwards) without issue.

Just updating the review. Still getting near daily updates after several months in.

If you like a game such as Viscera Cleanup Detail, but want a bit more spice and danger to fluff up your experience, then this is for you. Your job is to tear apart spaceships in varying level of function and send the bits and pieces to where they belong.

Good game to relax with on lower difficulties, and will cause you to panic when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan.

The minimum system specs are high, I can run the game on a 2 GB R9 without any issues, but the framerate is very poor unless I crank down the resolution.

The only game in it's genre that isn't as tedious as voxel based games.

Be aware that currently, your tanks more act similar to wheeled vehicles, and the tracks are mostly for fluff, but still a very promising start.

I just realized I've played this game for a total of almost two full days without giving it the positive review it deserves. A fantastic tank/tank crew simulator of a game, and pretty much the only game in it's genre as far as I'm aware.

Creates some pretty crazy stories as things happen since the game is almost entirely driven by RNG, but it's tactical RNG in a sense that if you play right you can still mitigate most of the effects of it, like hull down, moving to avoid getting shot by an AT gun as easy, and a large variety of other tactics you can employ, including throwing smoke grenades out of your tank to cover your own retreat (assuming you don't get hit by a sniper doing so in the process).

Solid overall core gameplay, but the UI can be a bit weird since all the menus are keyboard driven, which takes some time to get used to (for example, I didn't know there were more options that just to move on the overland map, nor did I know right clicking on a unit on the battle map showed the precise details on said unit, but maybe you know now after reading this). Once you do though and get it down, the game is once again solid.

100% recommended at it's standard price (only $10!?) and 250% recommend it on sale.

Just keeps getting better too after the EA release!

I've been playing/testing this game for a good while now, so I do have some implicit bias.

Getting that remark out of the way, the game is quite fun, even for someone like me who was mostly unfamiliar with competitive cycling in general.

A great alternative to sports manager games where you feel you can't actually influence anything yourself.

Give the demo a shot, and if you like the core gameplay/puzzle that is the races themselves, I would highly recommend picking the game up.

Let's get the genre of this game out of the way first. It more or less is a pseudo idle game.

The player controls what is placed on the map, and what items the Hero equips to adjust your stats, but after that point in an adventure at least, the game will play itself. For some this may not be compelling. For me, this is relaxing and fun as the game isn't a high pressure hack and slash.

Other things to say about the game is that the game does have "rouge lite" elements of you building up your camp to unlock different abilities and permanent buffs as you go along (kinda like idle games again) in between adventures.

The story is fairly well written though the plot may become a bit obvious at a certain point, but there are still a few twists within.

The soundtrack is fantastic for this game. I have had the song entitled "Loop Blues" stuck in my head for over 2 weeks now, it's that much of a banger in my opinion.

If you don't mind what *is* essentially a type of idle game, Loop Hero is well worth picking up, and I would reccomend it if people were to ask about it.

A-10 Goes Brrrrrrt

One of the few games that manages to do the golf tycoon right these days. Quite similar to sim golf, except with the obvious sci-fi theme, with modern graphics and in full 3D!

In summary, the game is a golf course builder, and allows you as the player to play on the course. The challenge in the game is keeping your golfers happy, else the weeds come. Weeds feed off of negative thoughts of unhappy golfers AND they themselves make golfers unhappy when they see them. The trick is to balance golfer happiness, for income, against course upkeep, and keeping the weeds under control. This can be a surprisingly difficult balancing act, but you can also crank the difficulties down to minimum, and basically not care. In game cheats are available too if you want to sandbox the game.

There are a couple of things which will probably turn off some golf purists, such as "crazy gadgets" like ball jumpers, rings of fire as targets, and stuff like that, but you by no means are required to use any of those to have a profitable course. Their use is recommended, as the small boosts they give can add up to golfer happiness, but you can still easily get to a 5 star, 18 hole course without.

If you are interested in this genre of game, I strongly recommend checking it out.

I've only played this game for a few hours, and made it to only the second temple, however, the game is pretty fantastic with a great amount of variety even for this point in early access. It's worth picking up.

Still very fun despite having around 20 concurrent players.
