Starpoint Gemini 3 takes you on a short journey currently in Early Access with about 2 hours (at most) of content, and more to come. It's perhaps a little too early for release, and while I had a good time running through the game and then looking at the sandbox version of the game that's available, though also rather lacking in content. This is definitely a game to watch and hopefully development will be swift and content will be fun.

What is available right now is more of a demo, and charging $19.99 for the Early Access build is a bit much. But expectedly the price will rise to and possibly beyond SG2 and Warlords that are both at $34.99, so you just have place your trust in Little Green Men Games and hope that they deliver. They are very responsive and listen to the players' problems. In the 4 days since release, there has already been 2 fairly major updates, so I do think that they will ultimately deliver something that's worthwhile.

The campaign content right now that is available is definitely not something that everyone will enjoy, however, as the protagonist is a mindless twit and while the humor therein caused through poor decisions can be funny, it really is in a style that will cause a lot of teeth gnashing as well. I am personally not a fan of Jonathan Bold, but I can see why the decision was made to take in this direction. I am a little undecided what I would do if I have sit with his antics for a lengthier campaign. There are some YouTube videos showing you gameplay, so take a look at the people running through the campaign to decide for yourself.

The main selling action feature of the game are the space-themed dogfights, they are fairly entertaining. I played fine on the gamepad although I felt the mouse to be more responsive. You can lock onto enemy targets, so it's not too different of an experience. The ship is modular, so you will be able to make piecemeal upgrades and make the ship how you like it.

To keep things short overall, this is a promising-looking game, but I just feel like what is there is more like a big demo, and at the current price, I would recommend that you wait for a sale or at least wait for some more updates to be able to look at the game more objectively and make some inferences as to where it's going. Considering the current state of things, very limited content, fairly high price, and only shells of promises of future updates to come, I can give this a 6/10 at best. (September 9, 2019)
