Absolute Territory

Absolute Territory

An absolute (pun not intended) nostalgia trip, Absolute Territory is a game that hearkens back to the old days of X-Wing/Tie Fighter and Freespace, back when those games were commonly made. While not a very long game, it scratches the space dogfight itch like I haven’t felt in a while.

Really there’s only two things I’d request be added to the game:

  • More missions (and it seems like that’s being done through the steam workshop)

  • Missions that contain large fleet battles, if it’s possible. It’s one of the major things that has pulled me into games of this genre, being able to be just a small factor in a massive battle and be able to influence the events in a critical way. Having massive battles to be able to be part of would have me sink way more time into this game.

Games by a single developer are always going to be about balancing priorities.

This game’s priorities are squarely on the fundamental mechanics of what makes a good Space Combat Sim, largely to the exclusion of all else.

The arcade tuned newtonian physics feel great. Ships have real weight and momentum. You will likely get heavy usage out of the slide mechanic. There are lateral thrusters as well, which I found a little too weak to get heavy usage out of but there is one mission in particular towards the end that would be nearly impossible to complete without them.

it’s like.. ASMR for the eyes o_o

I played it with the game music on and then I played it with my own music

Both ways are great! if you need to relax and play something that isn’t overwhelming, get this =)

It is an absolutely beautiful game! I highly recommend.

The game is beautiful. Downright stunning. Every color, everything in it! It captivated my attention just from looking at the title screen.

Atmospherically, it also took my heart. The music and sound effects never assaulted my ears, and actually made me calm and focused.

For replaying it, you can do that as many times as you want! There’s no story, only a calming place where you travel around collecting star-dust and becoming the prettiest astro-body.

Detached: Non-VR Edition

Detached: Non-VR Edition

Beautiful game placed in space, originally created for VR and now available in nonVR version. It’s FPX game where we want to survive and find a way to get back home safely from malfunctioned space station. This will require a skill to control your spacesuit powered with fuel. We also need a oxygen and both of these can by found around by exploring an open world of the damaged space station. Some puzzle needs to be solved in the game to complete some of the tasks like opening the doors or activate various systems. Great looking and well optimized graphics and nice sounds well making a feeling of loneliness in empty space. Game has cross-platform PvP mode. Detached is a fantastic game that I’m hoping to play in VR mode some day.

I would love to recommend this game, it’s quite a nice, short FPS story. Flying around in an authentic zero-g experience on Realistic mode was amazing, it’s the kind of game I like most. There’s not much shooting, just floating through space finding the path out, with enough light puzzles to not be boring.

Unfortunately, finding the small progression MacGuffins in level 2 was awful. They were hidden away and difficult to find when trying to progress the story. It took me a few hours flying around looking for them. I found a few, but they were placed near another progression point later down the line, so taking them earlier than I’m supposed to means I have to look for others in the more difficult places anyway.

Birchian Flight Simulator

Birchian Flight Simulator

This feels more like a ‘proof of concept’ effort than a real game, the kind of demo put together to show that the game mechanics work before investing time in developing a full game. The plane is nicely detailed and I like that the wheels come down automatically when the plane nears the ground. Having a save/load function was a surprise too. Everything else has been done better, much better, elsewhere.

In the campaign mode there are nine very small maps. The plane’s single machine gun can destroy skyscrapers and static blocks very easily and while the explosions look pretty in static screenshots but they fail to impress in the game. There are other aircraft in some levels but the plane’s gun is rubbish at shooting at them - in front of the player’s plane is a targeting reticule but the actual trajectory of the bullets goes much higher so aiming is out of the question.

Put some music on and chill in the infinite free roam modes.

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/WtpjCJTCEiA

VRAstrosmash is I guess an Asteroids clone designed for VR. You have 6 degrees of movement, you can thrust forward, roll, pitch, or yaw. However, it never feels like you’re actually moving forward, just rotating in a spot. You shoot asteroids as they rotate around you. The closer they are, the easier they are to target.

Unfortunately, the game starts out slow and plodding. After 30 minutes, I can honestly say not much happened. I think I had destroyed 3 asteroids. I was very bored. I finally got into a second phase and there were more asteroids now. Unfortunately, that’s when my frame rates started dropping severely.
