Space Mechanic Simulator: Prologue

⠀

Generally a good game, the part describe the measure mode of IR thermometer is kinda ambiguous, better revise this for fool-proof. (give a mark on where to aim)

"Space Mechanic Simulator: Prologue" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Space Mechanic Simulator". Space Mechanic Simulator is yet another job simulator spawned by the unexpected success of Car Mechanic Simulator as PlayWay S.A. continues their spree of spamming these games as rapidly as possible onto Steam. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Space Mechanic Simulator, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Space Mechanic Simulator: Prologue" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to pay a whopping fifteen bucks to buy Space Mechanic Simulator. I don't recommend you do that either. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. …

I've been playing for a couple of hours. My first impression was good, some measuring instruments, the movement is not bad, however after an hour or more of playing my interest became less and less. I think the main problem is that it is totally linear, there is practically no gameplay since it is just following instructions step by step. Even if you try to do something different, the program stays blocked and you can no longer advance, for example the ground mission with the rover. I think the idea is good, the graphics are not bad, the controls too, but the fact that it is linear takes away all the simulation. For example, to repair something, there is a way and only one way, it is not possible to be inaginative and find how to repair things in different ways or with other materials. In the end I got completely bored. I'm not a fan of totally linear games like this.

not good
