Project Skylab 2

⠀

Projecy Skylab 2 is an abandoned early access first person shooter/eductational game intended to teach algebra in an entertaining science fiction format. Unfortunately, deeper discussion of the minutae of the game is impossible. The game is published by the highly ironically named "Not Awful Studio". While the screenshots make the game look appealing, there's very serious deal breaking technical flaws. The game simply does not display properly in full screen. Resolution is locked and can't be changed, but overscan/DPI issues prevent the mouse from being used properly in full screen mode. In windowed mode, the mouse goes outside the window, preventing some of the menus from being used. Put simply, the game is unplayable on modern systems due to hamfisted design and lack of basic software testing. It's also poorly optimised, but given the game can't be played, this is a moot point. The developer took people's early access money for the game, then made it free, without bothering to finish the game (almost 3 years since and update!). In a surprise to nobody, no refunds were made, the developer took the money and ran. It's impossible to recommend this abandoned, broken "game…

Contrary to what the studio name might lead you to believe, this game is in fact awful, feeling less like a game and more like something that would be called MyProject1 within Unreal Engine 4.

Interesting concept, I really enjoyed solving the equations. Although this game is really buggy and shooting mechanics don't quite work

Space: the final frontier. Its vast expanse has, over time, played host to all manner of weird and wonderful ‘aliens’ and ‘monsters.’ Such forms of fantastic fiction have existed since the mid-1900s, and have produced some of the greatest films and video games It is, therefore, perfectly understandable – desirable, even – to find a game which is set in an overrun Martian habitat. Better, yet, one overrun by zombies. The AI trying to kill you, all the while, only makes it sound better. It was quite a surprise, then, when the best part of the game was the first five seconds, before one realizes just how impressively the creator managed to ruin such a cool concept. Indeed, such a premise does give the devs a high amount of pressure toward providing a high-quality, fun, action-packed game. Unfortunately, for the players, whilst it is true that - on occasion - pressure does make diamonds, this game seems to be more content to prove that pressure is also good at making garbage more compact. (Note: Somehow, it’s still a 5GB game.) The game, visually, looks great - but beauty is only skin deep and there are many deep-rooted, glaring issues that make the game difficult to play. If you…

Игра 'Project Skylab 2' - это неплохой, но все же ничем не выделяющийся космический симулятор. С одной стороны, здесь есть приятная графика и завораживающая атмосфера космоса, особенно если играть на максимальных настройках. Создание и управление космической станцией реализовано достаточно интересно, давая возможность почувствовать себя настоящим инженером. С другой стороны, игра страдает от однообразного геймплея. Основная часть времени сводится к рутинным заданиям по добыче ресурсов и расширению станции. Сюжет, хотя и присутствует, довольно слабый и не вызывает сильного интереса. К тому же, игра изобилует техническими проблемами, вроде багов и нестабильной работы, особенно на слабых ПК. В целом, игра может заинтересовать любителей жанра, которые готовы мириться с недостатками ради атмосферы и процесса строительства в космосе. Однако, не стоит ожидать чего-то революционного или захватывающего. Это просто неплохой представитель космических симуляторов, который требует доработки и полировки.
