Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game

This game embodies what essentially seems like a well-ballanced "modern" take on isometric camera CRPGs. It's not too stuffy, offering a decent balance between text dumps, exploration and combat. The standard difficulty never feels like everything is too easy or too complicated, and while some fights are quite challenging, there's always an option to go around them completely, which adds a nice variety to the conflict resolution options you're presented with. Visual direction is nothing truly outstanding, but the game's lore is intriguing enough to throw in a bit of post-apocalyptic, spacefaring, dieselpunl vibes to paint a coherent and believable picture. While the game's fractions didn't feel much different to me, the path I've seemingly chosen led me down the way of ultra-libertarianism, which is kinda hilarious (I honestly don't think the game is in any way politically charged as much as it's generally misery-pilled). Overall, I'd also like to add that it's a game that was almost instantly engaging to me, as I hold games like Dead Space 1 and Fallout 2 in high reguard. There's also a dash of Shadowrun games thrown to the mix for good measure. Nothing seemed too complicated to figure out naturally, the writing doesn't feel arrogant or so deep down its own guts it becomes impossible for an "outsider" to digest, and there's a great gameplay emphasis on exploration and various skill checks so the thrills and chills of in-game discoveries are sure to follow!
