Lilith Odyssey

Unique little game. Lead your weird little family of alien refugees across the galaxy and die of hunger and diseases while prosperous locals refuse to let dirty foreigners land, or while pirates do horrible things to your family. 11/10 would die of organ failure again. It can be tricky to get started. But, once you get into the groove, it can also be a very chill experience sailing across the galaxy, listening to the radio, and stopping to farm, hunt, fish, and trade on planets. Stop along the way to visit the great monuments, and maybe you'll be rich by the time you reach Lilith

- Overview - An indie game about navigating you and your family across the universe to a better world. - Story/feel; 4/5 Though there is a ‘story’, the real meat of the game is in the adventure you take, navigating planets, exploring the worlds the game throws at you – wondering how some of these places can exist (for better and worse). It’s hard to tell if the feel of the game is meant to be the hardships that are faced by the people (as the game is set in a post-war world, and you see the reminants of military installations on planets, and imprompetu graves, etc.), but nothing ever really feels that grounded. It’s not bad, it’s just hard to tell what the game is going for. - Gameplay loop(s); 3/5 Land on planet, collect resources to print batteries and potatoes. Batteries to turn into spaceship fuel, and potatoes to turn into rations, or use the resources to unlock the next stage in a tech tree before taking off again, repeating this from planet to planet and you have a decent idea for a game. This game isn’t too taxing, but enough there to keep you thinking a little about your next move. Not quite addicting in a civilisation kind of way, but weirdly enjoyable. -…

Wow! What an incomprehensible mess. The developers looked at games like Spore or No Man's Sky and thought: [i]"What if we made this overly complicated and boring?"[/i] This isn't a game, this is the physical embodiment of whatever made-up nonsense the characters in Star Trek are talking about when they're flying around. It's just a bunch of overlapping screens that tell you too much but too little all at once. It tries too hard to be a game about nothing but also a game with a task or linear story to complete. You fly out to planets to find resources for you ship, why? So you can do it again, and again! Why? Who knows. It somehow took the fun redundancy of open-world survival games and made the redundancy feel too redundant. The "end goal" is just to waste of few hours figuring out the controls and where you're supposed to go so you feel like you've done something and you run out of time to refund the game when you discover you're literally doing nothing.

Can't even get through the tutorial. It doesn't really show you what to do, it just tells you to use some help files which are not worded very well if you are a new player. Try to follow the steps and it just won't work. Posted a question on the community forum here on steam, no responses. Don't waste your money.

Fun
