Hardspace: Shipbreaker

I very much like the game. It scratches the itch of carefully dismantling things.

I absolutely love this game without a clear reason, but i just really like the overall feel of it and the simple yet a little complicated gameplay.

The game is much a puzzle game, taking apart spaceships without gravity is fun (even if it can trigger my motion sickness if I move too fast), the added obstacles as you rank up also keeps things interesting. There is a story in the game but to be honest I just want to take apart spaceships, so I'm pretty neutral about that If I had to say what parts of the game I found irritating, it would mostly be largely about some of the settings. I would have greatly appreciated a setting that could toggle or have a slider for flashing lights. I have undergone some surgical procedures for my eyes, this means I have trouble seeing with the glare from bright lights but I also have terrible night vision and cannot see well with dim settings. so I wish there was a setting that could deal with the brightness of the tool effects (e.g. the cutter tool) without targeting the overall brightness of the game.

I played with easier options like o2 slow drain and unlimited time mode and I can't recommend this game enough. I get why people complain about the un-skippable talking when you star breaking down a ship but I enjoyed the story enough that it didn't really bother me. All I want is more of this game but with bigger and complex ships in a DLC or a sequel.

This is a great game to relax and problem solve.

I got almost 35 hours and these are the moments you wish steam gave you a 3rd option other than recommended and not recommended. I guess I'll go with recommended but buy it during a sale. It's not a bad game and it's somewhat relaxing but after a while it gets repetitive. I was expecting to go to places, but you're always at the same place deconstructing ship after ship. Goods: It does what it promises pretty well. It's fun to have a 6 DOF flight and the tools work nice. It's great that they added options to play it on your own pace too. The story is ok'ish but I don't think it adds much as it's basically the same big corporation in the future narrative. It adds levels of complexity as you go and that's nice as well. There are small touches, like the found messages or fixing the ship some char gave you. It's relaxing to play...for a while. Bads: It does get repetetive. There are different ships and you need to take into consideration of doing certain things in a certain order so apart from those little differences, it's the same thing over and over again. I think it's kind of relaxing as well but accidents happen and sometimes there is nothing you can do about them. I just died because there was no way to decompress air on half of a big ship. I took 80 minutes to clear the first part. Taking my time, relaxed...Then this second part I just had to pick a spot and basically put a hole in the hull. So the ship yeets itself almost out of the game area - I didn't even know this was even a thing. So I went all the way there because I just spend almost 1.5 hours on this ship. And it started to give me the you're getting out of working area alarm...then I died. Huh. This makes the player feel unfair. I hate this feeling when playing a game. The other types of accidents are often like that as well. When a new danger is introduced you get a basic idea but doing it is a different story. Often you think I should be cutting here and bang you're dead. This kills the relaxing mood fast as you can imagine. Overall if you're a space nerd, I recommend it but you might want to wait for a sale.

one of the best games ive ever played tbh. it does get a little repetitive after a while, but its a good game to chill out to at the end of a workday
