IXION

[h2]분위기 좋은 똥겜[/h2] 건설 시뮬레이션이나 시티빌더를 기대하고 왔다면 절대 사지 말 것. 게임 완성도는 기본적인 건설 시뮬레이션의 기초조차 지키지 못한 수준이다. 제한된 공간에 일부러 불친절한 크기로 설계된 건물들을 억지로 끼워 맞추는, 말 그대로 테트리스 플레이를 강요한다. 쓰레기 같은 물류 시스템과 반복 작업, 그리고 게임 경험을 망치는 밸런싱까지, 마치 경력 있는 신입을 구하는 듯한 말도 안 되는 자원 구조와 연구 트리를 가지고 있다. 이 때문에 한 번 삐끗하면 복구조차 불가능한 불쾌한 상황에 빠지기 쉽다. 후반으로 갈수록 상황은 더 악화된다. 모기 소리처럼 거슬리는 사고 경고음을 계속 듣게 되고, 정작 내가 만든 도시를 관리하기보다 텅 빈 우주만 바라보며 유전찾기에 시간을 쓰게 된다. 중요한 선택지는 건물 어딘가에 돋보기를 눈빠지게 찾아서 클릭해야 되고, 출시된 지 4년이 되어가는데도 버그조차 제대로 수정되지 않았다. 도전과제 하나가 끝까지 안 깨지는 바람에 결국 100% 달성도 포기하고 게임을 접었다. 다시 한 번 말한다. 이 게임은 시티빌더로서는 최악에 가까운 작품이다. 차라리 다른 인디 시티빌더를 사는 게 훨씬 만족스러울 것이다. [h3]하지만 SF, 우주를 좋아한다면 명품이다.[/h3] 아이러니하게도 SF와 철학을 결합한 스토리는 꽤 잘 짜여 있다. 기술뽕을 차오르게 하는 웅장한 영상미와 브금은 만족감을 가져다 주었다. 최저난이도가 얼마나 쉽게 할 수 있을지는 모르겠지만, 원하는대로 건물 대충 지어가며 분위기를 느끼고 영상을 느끼고 텍스트를 읽으며 스토리를 볼 거라면 충분히 추천할 만하다. 다만, 다시한번 말하건데 게임성 자체는 절대 기대하지 말 것.

Ixion m’a mis une claque. Une vraie. Je pensais lancer un simple jeu de gestion spatiale et je me suis retrouvé face à un puzzle exigeant, intelligent, presque obsessionnel. Chaque décision compte, chaque erreur se paie, et pourtant j’y revenais encore et encore. Mais au-delà du gameplay, c’est surtout l’ambiance qui m’a marqué. Cette sensation constante de dérive, de responsabilité écrasante comme si on était coincé quelque part entre 2001, Interstellar et un fond de Fondation. Le jeu réussit à capter cette solitude cosmique, ce mélange de fascination et de danger propre à la science-fiction. Et puis il y a toutes ces références, disséminées avec intelligence, jamais lourdes, toujours justes, qui parlent directement à ceux qui aiment le genre. Ça m’a même fait rêver d’espace. Littéralement. Et puis la BO de Guillaume David, c'est une masterpiece, Un poulet au miel pour les oreilles. Merci aux devs pour cette expérience. Vous avez embrasé une étincelle en moi qui est redevenue la flamme d'antan. Good Job Administrator

I'm not too familiar with city builders as a genre, but IXION manages to tell a compelling story of exploration and survival, full of tense moments and uncertainty, while maintaining a solid city / space station simulation. It's not perfect, there have been a few bugs and glitches I encountered, but even so it is well worth playing. Just make sure you save regularly and don't play until 3am if you can help it.

This is one of my favorite games. I love the gameplay, the mechanics, and the space theme of running a colony ship. I just wish there was an free roam mode or something. the story is very linear. It is a lot of fun, but get old the third or fourth time.

This review is not easy to write. Why? Because I really liked the concept to this game, and the story beats and they felt different. I would recommend it for this reason, and also the fact that you can change the difficulty of things. I don't know if it's just personally experience or what, but this game was very stressful to me on normal default settings that eventually I just had to lower it because it was too much micromanaging for me to keep up with, and I play Hearts of Iron. This game had a lot of issues with it that really bothered me, especially the last chapter. I won't spoil anything, but I had to reattempt the last chapter multiple times. Overall, I thought that the music, the environment, and the space jumping really kept me hooked. Hopefully the team behind this game will make other games around this IP, not necessarily the same genre, but more like it. Maybe the next game could be the colonists building their lives on the new planet. None of the issues presented in my review take away from this game, it delivers.

Очень рекомендую. Надеюсь меня не уволят с работы потому что я играл вместо того чтобы выполнять задачи на испытательном сроке. Не жалею

Kind of boring. A lot of waiting around gathering and processing resources. Entropic elements feel very contrived and consist almost exclusively of the hull constantly degrading and accidents occurring. The rate of decay and frequency of accident occurrence are both so high that it completely breaks the suspension of disbelief. There are some morale and stability mechanics too, but so far, 6.5 hours in, they're not a factor. I really wanted to like this game, but have to rate it a solid 'meh'. It has some good elements, but there are far better games out there. Will probably try at least one more session and might update or at least add more detail. Another thing I found challenging to believe is that they spent all this effort building a giant mobile space station, but had no plans for the interior layout? There are these insects farms, but no inputs to the farms...what exactly are the insects eating? Waste is being purged? Into space? That's a lot of mass that could probably be used for something else...there is eventually a recycling plant of sorts but it takes a lot of research to get there. There's a lot of things like this that just seem to violate basic space engineering concepts. The probe situation is pretty boring too. I don't want to spend half an hour moving my pointer around to figure out where to send the probe...and how about a confirmation popup? Several times I accidentally clicked and deployed a probe to the wrong location. The resource collection algorithm is broken, have the silicon resource on high priority on the map and on the shuttles for collection, but they don't collect it. Can't build electronics. There is some good stuff too, don't get me wrong, it's a decent game, just overrated and not always well thought out. Beautiful graphics. Building space is an extremely limited resource and figuring out how to lay out your city in a bottle is and interesting and sometimes frustrating exercise in optimization. Personnel management is a little clunky...and what exactly are non-workers doing? Can I put the useless eaters back in cryostasis? Oh wait this was supposed to be the good parts...oh well.

One of the very few games to make my clean plate club. It managed to keep me engaged enough in the progression and story, increasing the difficulty but still rewarding planning and perseverance, which is a difficult balance to make for a game like this.

ОЧЕНЬ! Очень круто! Градостроительный симулятор, но в приключенческом жанре. Где вы такое еще увидите? Разве что во Фростпанке. Очень красивая, динамичная и интересная игра. Огромный простор для воображения, вариативность решения задач. Настолько затянула меня эта игра, что несколько дней к кампутеру только ради нее подходил. Если есть возможность взять по скидке, то берите! Это НЕ обычный размеренный градострой, каким он может показаться на первый взгляд

J'ai découvert l'OST avant de découvrir le jeu, et merci à Guillaume David d'avoir donné une âme à l'Omnissiah ! Le jeu vaut le détour si vous cherchez un city-builder avec un scénario et une belle mise en scène.
