Space Engineers
It has a single player campaign, it’s quite short, but since I’m done with it, I’m going to mark the game as “beaten”, since I also have over 50% of the achievements from other game modes. It’s a never ending game that I look forward to spending many more hours in (well, at least 150 hours in total if I want all the achievements :D), but “beaten” for now, even though I’m not even at 10 hours yet.
edit: Oh, I didn’t write it in the original post, even though I intended to. The game isn’t ready yet, still in development, so they’ll add more campaign content, and continue to develop the game. So, when I return to it later it will be an even better game with more stuff to do even in single player mode :D
I’ve seen your screenshots on the steam activity feed and it really looks like a gorgeous game! It even made me wanna check it out.
The game is … well the game itself is great, and I did play it for some hours, but omg are those developers idiots. In the usual early access “how can you be so stupid and introduce 5 new bugs for every single one you fix” sense. Or “please test your new features, don’t just proudly ship broken stuff, kthx”. I actually put the game away because a “major” release made it completely unplayable, and I was told that happened every. Single. Time…. it was really terrible and completely spoiled it for me. Despite all its potential, this didn’t look like a game that I wanted to play while it was still in dev.
… of course that was some time ago and everything might be great now. Fat chance. Anyway, if you ever do check it out and it isn’t as bad anymore, give me a bump! Maybe we can even build a BLAEO star base.
Ugh, it sounds like the painful type of EA/devs, which most of the time make me either loose my patience or just plain quit the game. And seeing that the recent reviews are Mixed, it seems they’re still at it. I’ll see if I find it to trade since it’s been bundled a few times, or wait for the next time it happens. And I’ll let you know if I ever get it how it is ;)
Most of the time it doesn’t look this good though :D
Often it’s a lot of clutter on the screen (you want/need that for the stuff you build). It still has some way to go to be all it can be, but it’s a really good start, and for people who like to play together, there’s already a lot of fun to be had.
I had some terrible performance issues at first, my cpu and gpu weren’t going at 100%, but I got full memory usage (16 GB) and that slowed the game down to just a few FPS. I read somewhere that lowering the shadow detail graphics setting could solve that. Tried it, and it worked… so obviously there is some kind of memory leak going on, I saw in the update notes that they’re going to fix it.
Fun game now, but it will be even better with more work ;)
Ugh and poorly optimized. Like I said to mandrill just up, I’ll probably see if I find a copy to trade or wait for the next bundle ;)
Doesn’t make the screens you posted less pretty though <3
Definitely wait for the next bundle :) There are lot of better games to buy for the money until then. Not that this is all bad. Worth its money as a part of a bundle? Very much yes. €10 at the Steam sale? Save your money for bundles or better sales ;)
