Jump Space

Been a while since I touched this game, but scrolling through my game library I might pick it back up again and for good reason. This game is genuinely peak Sci-fi, built for co-op play and yet It doesn't punish you for being a solo. Honestly, it almost encourages it. The game is more than possible to run missions alone while keeping it fun and challenging, the space around you also feels HUGE without being empty. I love this about the game because space is HUGE and in a game like this not feeling alone while being alone is an achievement worth mentioning. Missions though slow in the beginning, really ramp up after you learn the basics of the game. Every moment feels intense without being stressful even in what might be considered the "boring" missions / events and at no point did I find myself lacking in something to do ESPECIALLY as a solo. No matter what's happening I was forced to act and react to each and every environmental or anthropogenic event and that's a really cool thing in a sci-fi explorer as small as this (small as in development). I would also like to briefly mention how COOL this game makes you feel outside of the environmental space stuff. PvE though rather dry when on foot, is totally made up for in the battles that take place in the sky. Think back to how it felt when you first saw the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars dive bomb the Death Star out of nowhere, but now imagine being in the Millennium Falcon dive bombing everyone you see all the time. That's what 'Jump Space' is like to play. I hope this review convinces you to play 'Jump Space' if you haven't already, because its undoubtedly worth it and the dev team behind it deserves it.

The game is unique and fun, I always have a blast playing it, especially with friends, but I'm leaving a positive review for the Devs. This is the only game that I am always happy to see needs an update when I open steam because I know they are making real active changes the community wants. Revamped looting, upgrading, inventory, on foot combat, space combat, and addressing bugs to name a few. They really seem to listen to what the community asks for and address it quickly. Almost every update will address something I personally thought was a top 5 thing that needed addressing. Its refreshing to see an early access game with a dev team that seems to actually care about the game and the players.

82 Hours and I never bothered to write a review until now, probably shows how fun this game can be. Basically take something like Warframe's Railjack and/or Barotrauma's Submarine gameplay stuff, add on Titanfall esq movement and now quite frankly fun enemy modifiers at higher difficulties with looter shooter guns and progression alongside roguelite-ish missions.

The game have evolved a lot during this first year of early access. Some issues mentionned on negative reviews have been fixed now. I recommande to give it a try. 2h is enough to let you judge if it's a hit or miss for you. Don't hesitate to do a feedback and discuss with the devs on the discord !

pretty good game, if you think the trailer looks cool, buy it

Turned around into a pretty fun game.

It's like if Elite Dangerous, Helldivers 2, Everspace and Apex Legends had a Baby. A baby with huge potential. - Don't be deceived by the Rogue-like tag, the devs have (cleverly) moved a bit away from that. 80% of what you do saves for the next game in the shape of Upgradeable Blueprints. And when you go into a mission, the layout of the places to play and the Loot is just the RNG of Looter Shooter games more than a hardcore Rogue-like (I personaly consider this a huge possitive point) - The Hangar Map is similar to Helldivers, you have a galaxy map and you go to missions with Dificulties. - The Ship gameplay is Classic Plane controls, WASD to move the ship, QE rotate and mouse to point where you want it to go. - The Gun gameplay is like a soft version of Apex Legends, the Slide-Jump to do BunnyHop is a very core mechanic to move arround places. There are also grapling Hook placements but it's more like a way to move directly to a location. (You can press Action Button to release the hook early and you keep the momentum, it's very fun. - Ship Reparing and Management is quite fun, the game encourages you to know the layout of the ship's internals to know where are the modules and the repair points. Specially the Tetris mode of the Modules, you'll scratch your head several minutes trying to fit everything, and it feels very good once all the modules "click". It feels overwhelming at first, but you'll get used to it fairly quick. ----- Do NOT. And I repeat, do NOT play this game solo. Play it with at least One friend. No matter how much the Devs try to improve the Solo gameplay, the design of this types of games makes them Imposibble to make them confortable for a Solo experience. But it's not a Jump Space issue, it's just because this IS first and foremost a Coop experience. ---- Performance-wise... well... my CPU is not the best nowdays and it shows... when there is action, I get drops to 30 or 40FPS but in general gameplay I get to 60FPS. Graphic Settings are quite limited. I blame this to my CPU being what it is and the game being Early Access, but I understand. I hope in the future the game gets better performance and proper DLSS implementation. I think I once the game is polished, I will be able to run constant 60 FPS since my PC should be able to run this without issues. Conclusion: Very solid purchase and Lots of fun and lots of stuff to do for an Early Access. About time someone finally did a proper Coop Ship Management game after the fiasco that was Warframe's Railjack 9/10
