Out of Orbit

I am enjoying my time with this game. However. the amount of Sputniks that appear durring the tutorial is staggering. With so many tasks to do during the tutorial, having your pod blown up every now and then just becomes boring. Maybe have a task where you fight 5-10 of them, and then stop them from spawning so you can focus on the tutorial, as there are quite a lot of things to learn. Trying to mine titanium for your ship, only for a sputnik to appear every 5 seconds after destroying one gets repetitive. Otherwise, the game is great so far and scratches the itch I've been searching for.

I can't fully recommend this game as it is. THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF POTENTAIL THOUGH!! At the moment there just isn't enough meat on this game to pay more than $10 for it. There isn't even a real main story at the moment and there are only really two side missions you can play. Either you run cargo or you do bounties, and the bounty missions are buggy so there is really just cargo runs. For the bounties you have the option to capture enemies dead or alive. The problem is that if you take them alive, and put them on your ship, your crew mates will shoot them even though they are cuffed in an operational jail cell. On top of that even if you do manage to lock them up where your crew members can't reach them, the people on the marshal ship where you are supposed to drop them off will shoot at you for bringing them back alive. Like I said this game has an ENDLESS AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL, but that's on the developer to bring it to fruition. Edit 5/24/26 I've never seen a solo developer move so fast! I cannot begin to describe how much hope this gives me for this game. I fully recommend this game and can't wait to see what the final product will be. Gamers would be much better off if more developers were dedicated like this! THANK YOU

Rough around the edges - but there's something here worth rooting for I'm having genuine fun with this game, and that matters. The core loop is not bad. The tutorial does something I really appreciate: it throws you straight into the real game while still guiding you through the basics - a great way to onboard new players. That said, it's Early Access in the truest sense of the term, and there's real work to be done. The save system needs serious attention. Saving mid-session (save & exit, then load) resets a surprising amount of state - for example, a ship you've already infiltrated will act like you were never there. The developer seems to be aiming for intentional save restrictions (checkpoint-only, at the ship's computer), which is a valid design choice - but right now it creates more frustration than tension. On top of that, there's no autosave. Lose power, hit a game crash, forget to manually save after two hours? That's on you, apparently. The UI has bugs. Quest text is sometimes flat-out wrong, which can leave you confused about what you're actually supposed to do. Quality-of-life needs a pass. Small things add up. Dragging an item onto an occupied inventory slot doesn't swap them - you have to manually clear the slot first, then place the new item. Not a dealbreaker on its own, but there are several of these paper cuts, and together they make the game feel clunkier than it should. None of this is unfixable - in fact, most of it sounds like a solid patch or two away from being significantly better. I'd watch this one closely. The foundation is good. Now it needs the polish to match. Recommended with reservations - check back in a few updates.

It has a special niche but I just can not see past the design decisions made to make the UI have a long travel time between buttons, annoying single-click and multiple tabs when there's much smoother implementations avaliable. Shifting control scheme when walking or driving were phased out during the very first GTA release, back and forth between menu's to click buttons far down and shifty, combat with jerky controls and movement speeds that shift greatly just makes the entire experience rather unfun for someone who expects people to have learnt at least the basics from prior games released. This product has 90's issues and need a complete overhaul in it's UIX to help it reach a broader audience. I did not encounter any real bugs, I tried playing longer but the longest I could stay in the game without feeling I was wasting my time were a couple of minutes at a time so I just can not see how this will get enjoyable without A LOT more work, like 2033 maybe for a solo dev.

Out of orbit is a game with a lot of potential. I’ve played about 20 hours and I still think it’s too early for me to review. This game just gives you so much do and fun little things to achieve and ways to play that it can be played in its current state for 100 hours plus. This game is a huge puddle of content that can turn into a lake content over time. There is no end to what the dev can do over time and that’s rare for games. The dev is solo so it’ll take time to really get content added but he is communicative and appreciating of new ideas and bug fixes that can help the game. I would 100% pay even more for this game if it cost more and look forward to the content it drops in the future past 1.0 and would gladly pay for DLC to support this dev if the dlc is made right. 7.5/10 would recommend and it would be 10 but it’s early and there is QOL and other things that can be added to just inhance the game. So if you’re hesitating I’d say do it. Even if you get 30-40 hours out of it it’ll be a blast I promise and I trust the dev will continue to love and support this game.

Game have very big potential but this game difficult for many people. also it will be exelent if there was Ukrainian language

this game definetly isnt getting the recognition it deserves

Absolutely a blast to play, i do have one thing that bugs me a bit though. it clearly used AI to assist in some of the UI development, and there is no tag stating they used AI to develop the game. I mean it makes no difference to me, i think AI is great when used correctly and these guys DEFINITELY are using it right. i just wish they would add it to the tags. its even a part of steams TOS for them posting it on the page for them to disclose AI usage. Overall though still a great game definitely worth a buy.

just optimize the game

this game is actually pretty fun once you start to learn what you can do its a little buggy and maybe a little bit of lag when going to marshal stations and shipyards but everything else is good. i do recommend the Dev look into adding some more stuff to do like space races or things like space bars or cities on planets of each race. And i also think that you could add in things like a doctersor gangs. Something a little like rimworld but not a full copying and also add maybe even underground fights or underground space fights if you could but this game is already great as it is so keep it up because i can see this game become something everyone will love.
