Interstellaria

When I played this initially way back in the day, I found the game's mechanics fell apart as soon as you got more then one ship. For some bizarre reason, the game required you to switch your screen to that particular ship in order to move it which made combat unnecessarily frustrating. The last time I came back to this game, there was an update that made the UI worse. I have no real desire to return to it. The only reason I got it was because on release, it was one of the few space sims to actually allow you to land your ship on planets and space stations and have your crew disembark and do things, and I wanted a good point to jump into the genre. While still not entirely prevalent nowadays, there are more and better options for that now. I don't think there's a reason to play this in today's market.

Gets a bit confusing in the late game and the story is hard to find but its only cause it does a great job of exposing the player to a large universe filled with things to do

This game sucks on multiple levels.

Sort of fun concept, but pretty bad controls/UI, a bit glitchy, and bad pathfinding/targeting.

Old school and kind of clunky, but one of my favorite games to play while chilling.

It's difficult to give an opinion on this game. The first time I found the developer's blog, I was very hyped when I saw the retro art, which, to be honest, is gorgeous, and the game seemed really fun. Unfortunately, once the game was released, it didn't have much content, and I found the exploration boring as it involves sending the crew and waiting for them to finish. Maybe I'll give it a chance in the future, but I'm disappointed that it didn't have more content.
