Starcom: Unknown Space

just a good game plain and simple

This game has it all for me. I love the exploration and quests. The ship building is cool and not overwhelming. My only quibble would be that you have to be online to get achievements, which seems odd for a title that is Verified for Steam Deck. Tons of fun and I hope the modding tools for quests and map editing are still coming.

Top notch fun. Couldn't stop exploring. Well done devs. 10/10

this is a game that really understands its own scope . dont be fooled into thinking this is solodev jankslop; its writing and mechanics, as opposed to being passively insufferable and tolerated by the player only to get to the good bits (cough starsector), are actually really enjoyable . this game still gives the impression that its made by one dude, dont get me wrong, but one really smart and driven dude . endorsements all round

Just finished the game on Normal difficulty and I cannot recommend this highly enough. It was an amazing experience. From beginning to end it was enormous fun. You can grind if you want, play through quickly, explore, build your ship, advance your crew. The story is great, quality of writing is superb. Graphics are off the charts beautiful. Wonderful effects. Like Gratuitous Space Battles but with a reason to fight. I bought both Nexus and Unknown Space. The only thing I wish was that was more.

It's a fun open world space game. Looking forward to future games.

Fun shooter that didn't get as deep into ship design as I wanted it to but was still a good time. Mission system is less hand holdy than a lot of other games, be prepared to pay attention, search logs, or search wikis for ideas when you get stuck. Decent story, fun shooter.

This is a very fun top down space exploration game with modular ship design capabilities, allowing you express your creativity. It is surprisingly time consuming exploring the vastness of space just to progress the story, and despite how much fun i had, i don't have the patients to endure hours of moving back and forth to unlock the next area just to repeat the process again. Probably a game that you should only get when it is on sale.
