Star Trucker

My complaints noted in my original review (below) are still valid. Since then, they have added support for peripheral devices. After adding my joystick and remapping everything, I can now play the game without fighting the controls. It was only then that I was able to discover a really cool game. Watching some YouTube channels on how to manage the batteries in the early game was also very helpful. The recent Ventures update has added more reasons to keep on trucking. I'm still not going to recommend this game to anyone playing mouse and keyboard though. The controls truly do suck and will prevent you from playing. However, playing with a joystick or HOTAS will let you experience what Star Trucker has to offer. So I'll give it a thumbs up with an asterisk(*). Original Review: The PC controls are absolute garbage. They are the exact opposite of intuitive. I had to remap all the movement controls for the truck just to get it to make some sort of sense and even then, it was a struggle. They ignored 3 decades of gaming and decided to just make up their own way of doing ship control. They need to dump the "always on" mouse look while operating the truck. Use some key (like the middle mouse button) to toggle/enable mouse look. Then use mouse control for pitch/yaw. Or something like that. DEVs, look at any other space sim for an example of how to do it. Unity has many tutorials on how to use their new input system so you don't need to try and get a mouse/keyboard control to act like a console controller. Spent WAY too much time nursing batteries. I wanted to haul space containers, instead I spent 1/2 the time buying/selling and swapping batteries. The game looks very cool and I was excited to give it a try but alas, "Now it's just a game that I used to know."
