got to chaos gate 21, power went out, and it cleared my save, would play again

fun game, but make the zones bigger.... or else.

It's a fun game, the gunplay is nice and the ships add a spiciness to the combat that I find enjoyable, breaching ships and disabling enemy spacecrafts is fun. The maps are somewhat uninspired and looting feels very unrewarding; however, once they add more crafting/valuables I'm sure that will change. The Bot AI is incredibly inconsistent, as is the loot they carry, which seems primarily dictated by the map you get. I still recommend the game (somewhat sparingly), although the primary drawback I see currently is that there is just no actual substantive content (Early Access of course). The groundwork is solid, but it'll be a long time before they have enough polish/content in the game to consider it a rival to Tarkov.

Cons
New paid heroes are always unbalanced.
Matchmaking is laggy 90% of the time.
Terrible mouse + keyboard integration.
New player experience is awful.

Pros
Great art
Decent singleplayer
It is fun when you have competent teammates
Still has dev support (as of 9/22)

Conclusion
Go play Chivalry or something.

dont forget to set yourself offline

Instead of learning a trade or useful life skill, I learned dota, and im still trash at dota...

Great exploration and building game, though levels are a bit linear and repetitive, but that is to be had with procedurally generated worlds. However, the game makes up for that with cool enemies, awesome gear to be bought and acquired, a decent-ish story, and a fun way to build the crew of your ship. Workshop has mods that can extend the life of the game tenfold, and the game still gets update support (for now), so that is always nice.

All in all, a great space game if you like pixel games, with an easy online coop, which brings memes aplenty.
I rate this game peachy keen.

Phew, where to begin.

Initially a very kid-oriented game with simple mechanics and linear levels, it attracted not just young people but also adults who were in it for the harder content and end-game grind. While not always the fairest to strictly f2p players, Spiral Knights did a good job in allowing content to be accessible, especially with their patches later in the game's life. While sometimes hard to get into, the game rewards you for your work, while also making it necessary to grind for some components needed to craft high end gear. Overall, a solid grindy f2p title with a very little need for microtransactions.

Even in the game's twilight, it is still fun to play, with a very compelling nostalgia factor.

Cheap and clunky feeling, couldnt even stomach two games with how bad the latency and tick is. The iron sights for guns take up the vast majority of screen, forcing you to either hip fire, or fire blindly. The vehicle physics are a joke, and the map design is second rate at best. The different classes are an interesting footnote, but nothing more, almost a negligable feature in a game that will die from hackers, Chinese players playing on US servers, and poor developer support. A waste of time.
