Titan Outpost

Best (and only) hard sci-fi RPG.

This game really captures the 70s vibe of science fiction. For a one-person development studio, it's an outstanding achievement in terms of character design, storytelling, and immersion. I can highly recommend this gem to any SF lover from the era of Asimov and Lem. Player decisions are really well integrated. There are a few minor bugs, but they are not game-breaking and can be mitigated thanks to the continuous autosave feature (e.g., when exploring some spots, the character is beamed out of the map at the edge of the map and cannot return, requiring the game to be reloaded – this is less helpful for permadeath settings, so I would not recommend this mode). I give it a definite thumbs up and am already looking forward to the sequel from the same universe,[url=store.steampowered.com/app/1441520/The_Jovian_System/] The Jovian System [/url], and hope for even more lore from these stories.

This is one of the cases where I regret the absence of a "Neutral" button. Titan Outpost has a good base - it is different enough from other CRPGs to be interesting, I found the story enjoyable, it has a good length, and it has multiple really different way to finish the game which makes replays an interesting possibility. For all this, it deserves to be recommended to CRPG fans. It is, however, buggy, not quite good at explaining itself, and suffering from a frustrating UI. Be aware of what you are getting into and be ready to be patient with it !

The game is a little clunky at some points, but I can definitely see the passion that the developer has put into this project. Wonderful atmosphere and writing, and I'm super excited for the next game!
