Kerbal Space Program

Top Pro

Teaches orbital dynamics & rocket design fundamentals in an accessible manner

The physics engine does a reasonably accurate job of replicating the fundamentals behind both orbital dynamics and rocket design, so by going through the tutorials and experimenting, you're actually learning some real rocket science. See More

Top Con

Graphics are not the most detailed

The graphics of KSP are not the most detailed but they work non the less. See More

Diego Floor's Experience

By far the most satisfying gaming experience I ever had. Bold words, I know, but very true. It's a mix of management (a space company), engineering and exploration. I could never get into the managemenet part of it, and somehow that makes my bold statement even more impressive. My favorite game of all time and I ignored a third of it completely! See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Overwhelmingly Positive

Top Pro

Huge modding scene

There's a plethora of mods available that can change every single aspect of the game. See More

Top Con

Some visuals are poorly done

While the rockets, buildings, and even the Kerbals look pretty good, the environments and particle effects are a bit lacking. See More

Top Pro

You just can't get bored with it, and you will learn a lot

A "physics" game about space. Build rockets, space planes, space stations, rovers, landers, probes. Explore planets, moons, capture asteroids. With the addition of mods you can even test warp drive, set up a communications network, colonize a planet, mine for resources and much much more. It can even simulate our solar system (the in-game one is very similiar, although smaller to encourage new players. Learn orbital mechanics. Inspire yourself to learn about space and space travel history of human. This game is not only fun - it is inspiring. The game is under heavy development but is already playable (and gives a ton of fun!). Works very well under Linux (64bit as well). See More

Top Con

Steep learning curve

Kerbal Space Program is not really a pick up and play title. There is much to learn before grasping the core concepts of the game. See More

Top Pro

NASA working on a mission pack for the game

While not released yet, NASA is working on a mission pack for the game. See More

Top Con

Earth isn't spheric

The physics are great and the orbital space mechanic is quite well done. Though isn't anything like nature does macroscopically. See More

Top Pro

In constant development

KSP is a shinning example of early release done right. The currently available game is fun to play, and the developers are constantly adding new major additions. See More

Top Con

Simulation might leave to be desired as you become a more advanced player

Top Pro

Motivates you to learn

Kerbal Space Program puts into perspective how amazing the advancement of the human race is. It inspires you to learn our history, how we got here, and what we can do proceed. See More

Top Pro

Tons of stuff to do

Build rockets, space planes, space stations, rovers, landers, probes. Explore planets, moons, capture asteroids, set up a communications network, colonize a planet, mine for resources and much more. It can even simulate our solar system. See More

Top Pro

Excellent construction sandbox for building and launching rockets

KSP at its core is a rocket building and launching sandbox. When creating a rocket you can place engines, fuel cells, structural elements, and even parachutes, allowing you to build a rocket in any shape and size. The end result can even look like a giant doughnut, which might be difficult to get it into outer space. Even if you fail, the entirety of the process is really enjoyable. See More

Starbound

Top Con

First few hours can be boring

Initially the player needs to amass enough coal to fuel their ship, which is a bit of a grind. See More

Top Pro

Low hardware requirements

Runs on a Core 2 Duo, does not need a high end graphics card. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Endless space exploration

Starbound offers literally quadrillions of procedurally generated planets to explore. The many biomes and worlds are smattered with a rewarding and consistent loop of mini-bosses, dungeons, dangers, and treasure, so you constantly upgrade your gear and technology. See More

Top Pro

Boss levels

For what is a procedurally generated game, Starbound offers boss levels that once beaten unlock new sectors of space to explore. See More

Top Pro

Informative and well paced tutorials

Starbound allows the player to go at their own pace while completing the tutorials. By the end of the tutorials the player will have the skills and equipment to succeed in the game and have fun doing it. See More

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion

Top Con

Steep learning curve can deter casual players

While the game is one of the slower Real-Time Strategy titles, there is a huge learning curve that can wreak havoc on fledgling players. With some research required in order to colonize certain planets, researching use of larger fleet and capital ship sizes, to maintaining a thriving economic civilization, it will take many, many matches before players feel knowledgeable and skilled enough to play on larger maps or even against more difficult AI. With no true Single Player to speak of and little way of help in terms of tutorials, you must play in order to learn, sometimes using trial and error as a way of making progress. See More

Top Pro

Leisurely real time combat

The large scale of the game controlling fleets in may solar systems allows for a leisurely pace to play, which makes for worthwhile way of controlling ones ships across multiple places. This makes for less stress in the game due to how intuitive and evenly paced the game is. See More

RickZeeland's Experience

Free on Humble Bundle, only hours left, hurry, hurry ! https://www.humblebundle.com/ See More

Specs

Top Con

Slow-paced logistics and combat necessitates situational awareness

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is a strategy title on a massive scale, with players able to colonize multiple solar systems in any given match. Due in part to this scale, there is a perceived slowdown in gameplay; lengthy building construction, minutes-long research and slow unit movement. While the game, at its heart, does appear to be slow (and sometimes is), awareness of your surroundings is paramount. With fleets sometimes taking minutes to arrive at a destination, and defensive structures quickly falling to a massive fleet, it is easy for players to move out of position allowing key worlds to become targeted and lost in enemy incursions if they expand too quickly. However, not expanding quickly enough can halt the player from building up a fleet capable of taking on an enemy, or pirates head-on. In essence, you must learn to balance fleet needs, knowing the right time to expand, while keeping large groups of your ships scattered in key positions to await reinforcements should the need arise. See More

Top Pro

Large scale space combat

Sins games range from 7-130+ planets and hundreds of ships per player, all in real time, giving the game a fairly unique scale. Battles can wage on multiple worlds simultaneously and thanks to Sins UI and unit AI you can successfully manage fighting major battles, keeping your economy and ship production rolling, and development and research all at once (with some practice of course). See More

Top Con

Very long games

A game can last upwards of 4 hours for the medium/larger games. This can be a detriment for those that do not have the time to sit down and play a four hour game. See More

Top Pro

Many ways to play and win the game

Top Pro

Diplomacy used in a smart way

Different factions will send you quests that may effect your relationship with other factions meaning you will have to choose who best to make a friend or make an enemy when taking these missions. This bit of strategy can greatly change the outcome of a game depending on how well you have chosen who to help and who to possibly make angry. See More

Top Pro

Very distinct races

The game has three main races - Vasari, Advent and TEC and they offer completely different playstyles. TEC have the best economy, Advent's strength lies in their abilities and how they can be synergised and Vasari focuses on their tech - the incredible Orkulus starbase and Warp Stabilization. See More

Top Pro

5v5 PvP team games are great

The games are suspenseful. Over the course of about 1-2 hours your team's choice of strategy, ability to coordinate and maneuver the battlefield are tested in an intense environment. See More

Top Pro

Great modding scene

While it doesn't support Steam Workshop, Sins specializes in having many great large total conversion mods, focused on major Sci-fi IPs. There's also a decent variety of smaller mods from font to planets to gameplay redesigns. See More

FTL: Faster Than Light

Add Video or Image

Top Con

Late game battles are long and boring

In the later parts of the game battles are very long which can make for a bit of a boring experience, especially for those that would rather be exploring than spending so much time on battles. See More

Top Pro

Stress free timely decision making

The game can be paused at any time, which allows for one to contemplate their next move in the game. This makes for a less stressful experience since one can leisurely make their decisions without it impacting the gameplay. See More

Specs

Genre:Roguelite

Top Con

Can be pretty difficult

The amount of choices to be made (many not being good ones) and the randomization of the game makes for a situation that may be too difficult for some. This is not a game that you will beat in one play session nor 10, it takes a lot of time to get in a good run that results in winning, which some people may not have patience for. See More

Top Pro

Allows for highly strategic gameplay

The rougelike game design combined with the huge amount of choices that can be made in both encounters as well as ship management makes FTL a highly strategic game as you never quite know what the game is going to throw at you. There are many decisions that can be made in the game, such as what parts of an enemy ship to target (their shields, their weapons) or where to concentrate your defensive strategies, such as powering up an ion engine to run, or powering up ones shields to stay and fight. These choices can all effect the final outcome of the game, so it is up to the player to make the best decisions at their disposal. There are also many choices of ships to use and equipment layouts for each that can be tweaked. Depending on the ship used and what equipment is used or where it is place can greatly affect how the game will play out as well as how the game will need to be played. If choosing a fast ship with low shield power, it will be best to outrun a lot of encounters. Where as if choosing a slow ship with good gun capabilities and a high shield power, a good strategy would be to go in guns blazing for each encounter. See More

Top Con

Lackluster interface on iPad

The weapons panel often covers up vital information on ones crew health. The problem being that this panel needs to be on screen when in a battle, which is also the exact time that crew health is very important. See More

Top Pro

Morality based decisions

The game works a lot like a text adventure in a roguelike wrapper. The decisions asked of the player during this adventure can affect much of the stories plot, making for an interactive story through choices such as telling aliens you are a god in order to potentially receive less trouble in your encounter with them, to abducting aliens in order to sell them for a profit. One choice may appeal to the player more than another, it also provides a way to role play as a morally bankrupt space captain. All in all though this is all up to the player, which can be really fun to see what may happen. See More

Top Pro

Has modding support

There are multiple mods available for FTL that can greatly change up the gameplay and looks of the game. This adds a lot of replayability to the title. See More

Top Pro

iOS version includes extra content over the PC version

The PC version of the game had extra DLC that one could pay for to extend the games gameplay. This content is included in the iOS version for the singular price of $9.99. So could be argued the iOS version is the better deal for the price. See More

Top Pro

Great touch controls

Even though the game was designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse originally the touch controls work exceptional well. Some could argue better that keyboard and mouse. The gameplay and design lends itself very well to the touch screen, which makes playing the game a joy on iOS. See More

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D

Top Pro

Variety of mission types and challenges

Protect a train, protect a city, destroy the speed boats, use tow cables to take out the walkers, bomb the living daylight out of a shipyard, destroy the dreadnought, etc. See More

Top Con

In game resolution settings may crash the game

While there is a setting in the game to adjust the resolution the game is played in, changing this setting may make the game crash when a mission is launched. While this setting can be changed in an ini file which will not make the game crash, having a broken option in the game shows a lack of polish. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mostly Positive

Top Pro

Medal system allows for plenty of replayability

Each missions has a bronze, silver or gold medal that can be earned by completing the stage and certain tasks contained withing under a certain time limit. With gold being the toughest to earn, there is plenty of reason to revisit stages in order to earn the gold medal. This means hours of extra time spent with the game. See More

Top Con

Mouse and keyboard controls are very poor

This game was originally designed for a controller, which shows when trying to play with a keyboard and mouse. While this port does offer keyboard controls, they work so poorly that it makes the game almost unplayable when using this control scheme. See More

Top Pro

Expansive content

Even though this is an older game originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 98, the amount of content is quite good as there is a plethora of missions available. Escort/rescue missions, dogfights and bombing runs make up some of this content, all of which take place on many different worlds or space set pieces, all of which take place in the cannon universe of Star Wars. See More

Top Con

No graphical options

The game is basically a straight port of the N64 title, meaning there is zero graphical settings to be found other than resolution (which is broken). So for those looking for a more polished title that would allow them to take advantage of PC centric graphical settings, this may not be the game for you. See More

Top Pro

Easy to learn and play

Rogue Squadron has very accessible controls that allows for the game to have a bunch of differing missions due to how easy it is to fly the ships. More akin to Starfox over Star Wars flight sim titles such as X-Wing, allows for arcadey controls that is no where near as punishing as other sims. This means the game can be more accessible for any type of player. See More

Top Con

Controller settings need to be tweaked

In order to get a controller working properly with the game, one will need to go into the settings of the game in order to change some options. Basically out of the box controller support is pretty poor, though once tweaked the controller will work fine. See More

Top Pro

GIve a great sense of taking part in the StarWars universe

From the fantastic voice acting, the cinematic sequences to the licensed music and sound effects, this game gives off a great feeling of taking part in the universe of Star Wars. While there has been many games that have held the license, this has been regarded as one of the better titles for some time, which shows with the care they took in presentation. See More

Elite: Dangerous

Add Video or Image

Top Con

Really complicated to learn

Looking up faqs and trade routes from first hand users will be the norm for figuring out many aspects of Elite: Dangerous. On top of this notes will have to be taken, which is made more difficult by the fact the game does not support in game not taking. So a pad and paper is recommended to remember all of the minutia of the game. See More

Top Pro

Built with future expansion in mind

When Elite Dangerous come out, development wont stop. To build a game with the huge scope of Elite Dangerous, not all of it can be done at once, so the developers have adopted an approach of incremental improvement. Various game play elements are being designed as a foundation for later features. For example, although planetary landings aren't going to be available until a later update, the engine has been designed to be able to support going from lightyears away to meters away. See More

Seamus Filipowicz's Experience

entire galaxy to explore. Already spent 2150h in it, and yeah, im bored. But it is still expending and is going to be expendet for another decade. Game heavly relies on 3rd party tools, but after few years of being out , they are easy to use. No walking, base building etc, yet. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Space Sim / Open World / MMO

Top Con

You have to be connected

Top Pro

Very realistic representation of space & star systems

Elite Dangerous uses publicly available real world star maps that we have of the Milky Way consisting of 150,000 star systems. Although in the current beta, full access to the entire galaxy is limited, in the final game, you will be able to visit any of the 400 billion stars in our galaxy on a 1:1 scale. Stars that we do know of are properly mapped in place and are of the correct type given the information we have about them. Stars we haven't collected data on are procedurally generated which allows you to explore any of the 400 billion of them. Star systems are intelligently simulated using the "Star Forge", a generator that simulates the creation of a star system forming from its nebular cloud to determine what celestial bodies appear and what orbits they have. This feature leads to many varied and unique star systems possibly with planets that can co-orbit around each other, or with binary star systems, and infinitely more possibilities. See More

Top Con

"Mile Wide and an Inch Deep"

The game has a serious problem with depth and requires the user to repeat the same few fun actions over and over again. The world is massive and beautiful but feels empty. The game gets stale quickly despite being visually stunning. See More

Top Pro

Great Oculus Rift integration

Elite Dangerous has very good integration with the Oculus Rift thanks to its cockpit view only gameplay philosophy. All ship UIs are part of displays that appear on each side of you that appear when you turn your head, so accessing the navigation or ship menus happens seamlessly just by looking in their direction. The game also uses the direction you are looking in for targeting, so your lock on target is whatever you're head is pointing at. By sitting in the cockpit of a ship, you are given a stationary frame of reference that helps prevent motion sickness associated with movement in game when you aren't actually moving. See More

Top Pro

Exploration at every level of detail

Full exploration of the galaxy is planned, allowing you to be able to jump from star system to star system, and fly around within a solar system from planet to planet, eventually going all the way down to a planet's surface at a 1:1 scale in a later update. Planetary landings will require a lot of details to be developed and designed, but you can still see the level of detail shift in action when flying into a planet's rings, where getting close enough show the individual asteroids within, which you can then interact with through mining, or by having a battle among them. See More

Prefabricated ships available in game that are modifiable

For those that do not want to build a whole ship from scratch there are prefabricated ships available upon start that are also modifiable so users can customize to their liking. See More

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Con

Still not a whole lot to do

Being an early access game there is still a lot of missing features such as missions, thus leaving no much to do other than the free building mode. See More

Top Pro

Easy to build

Space Engineers makes it easy to build any items or objects making sure any skill level can easily have fun in game. All one needs to do is select what they would like to build from the menu and then choose the parts they would like to add. See More

Daunting for new players

This series has a long pedigree. It has a lot of complexity that you get dropped into pretty quickly, and the plot has some quirks. If you don't mind sometimes checking out a wiki to wrap your head around something or to get unstuck, you'll be fine. See More

Top Pro

You can own an empire, not just a ship

You start in a small fighter or trade ship, but can own and control as many ships and stations as you care to build up, including some unique facilities tied to the story. See More

Endless Space 2

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Deep turn-based strategy gameplay

As most turn-based 4X games set in space, ES2 is about expanding your galactic empire, allowing you to create spaceships, build colonies, research technologies while interacting with your rival factions via diplomacy, economy, or warfare. While it starts out simple, requiring you to only manage your homeworld and provide upkeep for a small fleet of spaceships, the gameplay gradually becomes more difficult as you expand your galactic empire. More colonized planets means more upkeep costs, more potential for civilian unrest, and more planets where an enemy faction can attack you. This means you have to carefully balance populace wellness, your income, and military might as you expand to prevent a collapse. Because of this, when you finally control a massive galactic empire, it truly feels like an accomplishment. There's enough complexity and nuances in the gameplay to satisfy most 4X veterans and even entice players new to the genre. See More

Top Con

Limited control over space combat

After organizing a fleet and sending it into a battle you can only view a cinematic video of the combat or auto-resolve it, immediately giving you the result of the battle. You have no control over the ships during a battle, preventing the use of tactics, maneuvers, or any minute adjustments, which might be disappointing to players expecting more depth out of it. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Diverse and intriguing playable factions

Endless Space 2 features 8 factions, each with its own interesting backstory and gameplay mechanics. For example, The Horatio is a faction lead by a bored trillionare who decided to clone himself billions of times to reshape the galaxy in his own image. This ties in with a gameplay mechanic where The Horatio can use the populace of other factions as genetic material to create new clones, allowing for a much quicker population growth. Another example, The Unfallen, is a race of tree-like beings that seek to bring peace and harmony to the galaxy through non-violent means. To achieve this, they extend cosmic vines from their homeworld to other planets, spreading their influence with symbiosis. As a result, each of the factions feels distinct and interesting, giving you enough incentives to try them all, considerably adding to the replayability. See More

Top Con

High learning curve

While Endless Space 2 might feel familiar to 4X veterans, it can take a while for new players to fully figure it out. This includes learning interface menus, grasping how mechanics such as colonization work, and even understanding how to counteract another faction's expansion. It might feel like an information overload for the first dozen hours, so unless you're willing to get past this high entry wall, you won't be able to fully enjoy this game. See More

Top Pro

Excellent visuals

Almost everything you see in the game looks spectacular. This includes very neat interface menus, detailed planet textures, intricate spaceship designs, and even gorgeous character models among many other aspects. All of these help to bring life to the space opera universe of ES2, making it a more cinematic and enjoyable experience as a whole. See More

Stellaris

Top Pro

Highly moddable

The fact that Stellaris is so modifiable makes a huge difference to the game. There are so many ways to customize the game to your liking. If there's a design decision you dislike, you are always capable of changing it yourself (within certain limits), and you can make the game completely different. You can play as a race from your favorite books, anime, whatever, because so many talented people are making mods for the game. See More

Top Con

Imbalanced gameplay systems

As the game is right now, without mods, the weapons and other ship modules are sorely in need of a rebalancing. Currently, when you hit the end-game, the best way to go is to stack shields, health, and as many Tachyon Lances as you can fit onto as many Battleships as you can muster, then send them in as a blob to murderize every enemy you come across. Compared to other games of this genre, this makes the rest of the research you did before hand seem quite meaningless. You might find yourself asking, "Why did I bother researching Kinetic Weapons when I'll never use them in the end?" Similarly, Ethos and Traits are highly imbalanced as they are. Materialists can get huge research bonuses that nobody else could dream of. Spiritualists can get other races with other ethos to bend to their will ridiculously quickly. Militarists are incredibly good at making war, which is currently the only feasible way to meet the win conditions of the game. As for traits, there are many traits that you may find yourself never picking. Intellectual is always good, Very Strong is always good, Repugnant doesn't matter if you don't integrate other species and Sedentary's malus hardly matters. Hopefully we will see these balanced in the future. See More

Top Pro

Emergent stories

Oftentimes, if you play the game without min-maxing everything, you will find yourself with interesting stories to tell. While the coded events themselves may lose their touch after a while, the interactions with the various races nearby will often be different. You might find yourself in situations where the whole galaxy is against you. You also might find a race of primitives who you uplift, who will become fast friends with you. It's possible that you might grow attached to them, only for them to suddenly and violently be taken over by that Xenophobic Militarist on your borders. The reason some stick with this game for so long is because they love these interactions, despite how shallow they may be sometimes. The fact that you can even be a Fanatic Militarist in the game and still have friends afterward is something that some may find particularly fun. See More

Top Con

Lack of vanilla content, currently

Unfortunately, the game is lacking a bit in certain types of content. There is a great number of events in the game, but not enough as it is. With how many events there are, it is likely that you will see many of these events occur over multiple games. For instance, finding Sol or Sanctuary once may be interesting, but finding it every couple games makes it seem less special. See More

Top Pro

Great early game exploration

The exploration, and the early game in general, is very interesting, with a plethora of events, not limited to Anomalies surveying player and AI science ships can encounter. See More

Top Con

Weak sector AI

In the game, you can create "sectors" to manage the planets that you cannot manage yourself due to the "core worlds" limit. However, these sectors are managed by the game's AI, and the AI often times makes foolish choices with how they develop the planets under its care, even if the "respect tile resources" option is checked. What the option should do is ensure that the AI builds a building on a tile that has bonuses for that type of building. It will instead build whatever it feels like, from what many in the community have seen. See More

Top Con

Requires lots of time invested

Because of the open market thing even going out on a quick mission may require you to gear up your ship first, which takes ages as you jump across multiple stations to get the two dozen different modules required to outfit your ship. EVE feels a lot like a second job sometimes. See More

Real freedom

You can do anything. literally anything. You can become a massive entrepreneur and deal with billions of ISK, set up a pirate base in wormhole space, explore anomalies, build massive ships, become CEO of a player-run industrial corporation. There's tons and tons and tons of stuff. This is likely the most sandboxy of MMO sandboxes. See More

Top Con

Spreadsheets in space

At the very core, that's what it is. You'll be looking at tons of stats, calculating % resistances and DPS. It's a paradise for math savants and economics geeks, but not so much if you just want to blow things up quickly. The graphics are there, but combat takes place at a few kilometers at least, so you won't be ever seeing your ship and the enemys' at the same time (unless as tiny silhouettes). Which only enhances the feeling that combat is a set of dynamic spreadsheets rather than a real visceral thing. See More

Top Con

The player number is about half of what it used to be and continues to decline. The game has been around for 10 years so it's hardly a surprise. See More
