The Astronomy Game
Very informative in a cool and interactive way. Story was fun and soundtrack was nice, I recommend this game for people who want to learn about astronomy in a fun way.

Does a good job at teaching some interesting information about astronomy, and a pretty cool story line that I liked playing through.

Mars Horizon
Iniital Review 12.4 hours into Mars Horizon®
Update since initial review at bottom of review.
Second update December 2022 since initial below that update.
An update beneath an update… that is like four wall breaks. Mind blown!!!
-
Graphics are fantastic
-
Smooth operation and easy to follow learning tutorial
-
Not for under age of 12 years old, bit too advanced for under this age.
-
Few small non game breaking bugs, grammar, and what not. Nothing to get excited about.
-
FPS runs fine on a modern machine 2012 or better. Older and you may have some issues with processing of the information or video being smooth.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. This is easily the best manager I have played in a decade.
However, a warning up front. This is not readily obvious. Not, because the game starts outright weak. Instead, it seems to deliver exactly the underwhelming gameplay one learns to expect from indies nowadays. You build a rocket, you fire a rocket, and sometimes it rains. Everything hangs on the roll of a dice. Which makes the space missions look like a lackluster mini game.
Here’s the good news. It gets better. A lot. I just ended my first (short) campaign after 65 hours by landing a crew on Mars. While doing so, my palms were sweaty, because up until the very last turn I wasn’t sure I would make it. Magic question: When did the last manager make your palms sweat?

OVERVIEW (A Walk Through The Universe)
Just bought this last night and dove right in, as ever since buying a VR system a couple of months ago I have wanted a “space exploration” simulator experience. I came across “Overview” by accident as I was looking for inexpensive VR games. I was a bit nervous about the purchase, given the mixed reviews, but it was on sale ($5) and so I figured the risk-to-reward ratio was acceptable.
Happily, I can report that I love “Overview.” Certainly there are some options I would love to see added, but for what this game is and has now, I think it is amazing. The flyover Saturn alone was worth the purchase, in my opinion.

I am reposting this from a review I wrote on Reddit last week: I saw the the title of Overview in the Steam Store and added it to my wish list a few weeks back. Most people may have heard about the overview effect that astronauts all share when they look down at the earth from so far away and it makes them realize how small we are in the grand scheme of things. So. when it was on sale recently I grabbed it and was excited to try it.
It’s basically a single sequence that lasts about 30 minutes with another explore our solar system feature as well (which is good but underwhelming if I’m honest). The sequence is the star of the show but it too starts s bit slow. At first I found myself a bit disappointed- sure the graphics were gorgeous but it just wasn’t thrilling to me-I wanted the earth to be bigger in my perspective. I was missing the point I suppose!

Building the Universe: The Beginning of Time
I like the premise, would be a cool educator and can be a fun puzzle type game. Would have used the real Quark names instead of just colours. Wanted more templates. Fun Idea.

Universe Quiz
I like astronomy and everything involved with it. Universe Quiz is a casual game that is really fun, academic and there is absolutely no stress while playing it. I learned something in almost each round I played. If you miss a question, you replay the chapter and learn from your mistakes. At the end, you become a master in astronomy. Plus, you gained books for your encyclopedia to push your knowledge further. It is also fun to upgrade your status after each winning round. I really enjoy this one as a fan of astronomy.

I Played your Universe Quiz.
Here are my positive thoughts:
-
Very nice fluent graphics
-
Very nice soothing music
-
Very well thought and realized
-
Easy to access
-
Cheap
-
Very easy to gain knowledge (of course if you are not an astronaut or cosmologist)
And now some negatives:
-
Too many difficult questions in the first quizzes about moons of the other planets. They have a lot of moons and some don’t.
-
Too many questions about dwarf planets
-
And at least questions about distances between earth, moon, mars. They are prone to change.

Planetary Settlers
Its a decent, fun exploration game with some puzzles and parkour. The game has quizzes on each planet which let you test your knowledge about the solar system. I’m surprised that this game isn’t very popular since its quite cheap and also pretty fun. It would also be a good game for younger kids to play too. Decent game, recommend you buy it.

Project Eagle: A 3D Interactive Mars Base
Its been a few hours. I’ve been staring at this similation for a FEW HOURS. The voices in my brain compelled me to do so. Why? Who knows, and who cares. But something about the similation draws me back in every time. Maybe its the rovers mindlessly running back and forth, or the never ending day the station is set in . Perhaps its the mystery on how the population magically doubles in a single day, which makes me ask many questions. Like seriously is everyone in the base magically pregnant? Do we now have a whole entire space station filled with martian babies? If so, where is the martian Kid zone? How does the station keep itself running if everyone in the space station is on maternaty leave? When will it become Halloween in the space station? Where is curiousity? Why can I mess with time on the Matian Settlement… Am I the one true Martian God that controls time? How do the inhabitants not question the base magically turning into night then day again in a matter nano-seconds?

Intro: Early this year NASA’s JPL wanted an interactive presentation that would portray what would be a future Martian base, which was delivered by the fine folks of Blackbird interactive (the ones who made the atmospherically involving Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak) which came to be the Project Eagle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y8EcA92YFA
Now this presentation is here, on steam, for you to walk around, know a bit more, and gaze at the sight of what may be the first Martian base.
What it is: This is not a game, it is a presentation with limited interaction. You won’t build your base, you won’t expand it. This is an educational tool that was made available for the public.

Solar System VR
Have you ever dreamed of plowing the vastness of space, studying its secrets and discovering many unexplored corners of our infinitely large universe. “Then this game is for you” - I would like to say. Of course, you won’t get this level of gameplay, but don’t immediately give up on this game. First of all, I would like to clarify that this is a VR game, which means that we are provided with partial immersion in the atomic sphere of space. The gameplay here is not particularly pleasing, although it should be said that we are dealing with a VR movie rather than a game. The plot is a tour of space. The presentation is good and the listening is really interesting. The only thing I want to note is the duration. Here it is so small that you will have time to fully familiarize yourself with the game and have time to get your money back. Otherwise, this game, or rather the film, is very good. Total - 8.3 / 10

Ok, I get most of the various Space / Solar System programs that i see. They are all offering something a bit different but this is the first time my jaw dropped. This was really quick, yes, and easily could have been 2-3x longer and still short. But this program was less focused on education and more on a space roller coaster ride and it is COOL AF. Unless you cant afford pocket change (yet somehow still have VR and a really good PC), it is well worth the price of a Coffee and Bagel regardless of its length.
