Starcom: Unknown Space

What an amazing game - I was surprised how addictive it was!

Great time. Don't skip the dialogue boxes.

A fun space game. Immersive, well written. The combat system isn't infinitely complex, but it has enough depth to entertain any upgrade-hungry player over the roughly 20-30h campaign. Can recommend.

Fun little space exploration game with a satisfying degree of leveling up, shipbuilding and exploring. The latter is where the game really shines, the story is deep and complex with many fun little sidequests and hidden surprises. There are some great quality-of-play upgrades from the original game, automatic navigation being a key one. And there are multiple endings to the main and side quests, so there is a decent level of replayability.

Found this through LT Gaming. Really enjoyed this. Very fun. Ship building and star exploring is very interesting and fits the fantasy. It's more of a casual and easy to get into starship space exploring game, with module based, hexed base ship building which is easy and fun. Start tiny bit slow but get to mid game fast. Still working my way through tech tree but I'm hoping they'll be more option in terms of how weapon functions and customisation. Really like the QOL like autopilot, cruise mode...etc. I think another QOL could be had is split screen or ability to add tiny screens like a mini map screen in a corner. Maybe that can be an upgrade. But in the map screen there need to be a toggle between map moving with your ship, vs static. Also adding split screen where 1 screen you scroll around the map to find where you want to navigate to, and another screen where your ship currently flying and then another monitoring a certain sector in multiple split screen could be very useful as well as fitting the fantasy of being a ship captain, especially if you're flying a massive destroyer/capital ship...etc. Kind of taking inspiration from Supcom FA where you can split screen and …

Fantastic and chill exploration and combat game set in a distant star system. Very much reminds me of games of old. Few bugs and runs like a dream. Excellent on steam deck.
