Space Station Loma: OPERATIONS
Quick Review: Good Introduction to VR game play and physics. Very easy to start. If you enjoy follow the leader type games this is a game for you. Should be a $5 game.
Review: Simple to learn but gets chaotic very fast. You basically are following commands given to you on the main screen. They are timed and you need to do them very quickly. I am old and slow…which means I suck at the game. Has a leader board for keeping track of high scores, which can make it interesting if you have friends competing with each other. I think it is a good game for people who are being introduced to VR / gaming. If you are looking for something more long term with complexity this is not the game for you.

Space Station Loma: OPERATIONS - Simon says “don’t blow up the darn space station!”
The concept behind this game is simple, you are the operations guy on a space station, you know the people you see in the background of the bridge on deep space 9? The guys sitting at terminals in the background of the death star. And the computer tells you what to do.
It starts off easy…really easy….you think “i can do this”, “I am THE operator” and soon learn that the computer is mean and has it in for you lol

Arc Vector
Arc Vector is an action arcade game with a hint of flight simulator, inspired by various classic 1980-90s Archimedes games.
-
Pure arcade combat across 3 distinct campaign areas, the Lush Tropics, Scorched Deserts and Volcanic Rim of Melos
-
Intuitive flight controls - pitch and rotate your ship with the mouse
-
Dogfight against alien pilots, dodge anti-aircraft fire and destroy enemy tanks in their tracks
-
Capture enemy bases to recharge weapons and fuel
-
Destroy supply depots to secure bases against being recaptured
Pilot a stolen alien ship in a rebellion against the Archronite invasion. Fly across the archipelagos of your home world and capture enemy bases with the help of your navigation droid co-pilot, DFX-9T. Battle against enemy Arc Vectors, Fighters, Drones and Laser Tanks, liberate your planet, Melos.
Backstory
You are a lighthouse keeper on the planet of Melos, a small world rich in oil and gas, home to a small population of industrial workers, fishing fleets and sheep farmers, scattered across the Melosian Archipelagos. (“Melosian sheep are famed for their genetically engineered Kevlar-like wool” - Melosian Tourist Board).
Melos has been invaded by the Archronites, a warmongering species fighting their way through the local galactic sector. The Archronites have started to colonise Melos to exploit its natural resources, driving the native population from their homes. When one day you discover they have even invaded your tiny home island, you are forced to act.
Together with your trusty navigation droid, DFX-9T, and after an enemy pilot had apparently met an unfortunate fate on the rocks, you commandeer their vessel and take to the skies in the fight back against the alien colonists. One by one, you must capture their airbases and destroy the infrastructure they are putting in place.
Beware, however, Archronite Commander Veilos will be out to stop you! You will come up against his forces in Arc Vectors - a devastatingly powerful attack ship, and Arc Fighters - a stealth-like fighter aircraft, Drones, Plasma Tanks and Laser Tanks and numerous other defences. Fortunately, the ship you have stolen is also an Arc Vector!

Only One Burn
-=ONLY ONE BURN=-
Only One Burn is a nice little lander game!
Remember those? Where you had to land your ship on a planet with limited fuel?
ONLY ONE BURN brings back that old genre and put a twist over it.
Instead of managing your fuel drop by drop until you land soflty, you will spend all your fuel in… well, only one burn. It will leave you with only your maneuvering thrusters so you can adjust your fall!
Yeah, I said fall! You will not land gently on this game AT ALL! Your ship is made with an alloy of adamantium and mitrhil so, no matter how hard you crash on your base, it will not be destroyed. But only if you hit your landing pad. If you miss, you will meet something harder than your ship.

This game has a fun premise, and I was able to buzz through all of the levels in about one hour. My playthrough was far from perfect in terms of the accuracy and ratings of my landings.
I think that there is a lot of replayability here since you can complete missions even with a rough landing. Many of my landings were rough, and I can totally see my self sinking many hours into trying to get a perfect, centered soft landing on every level. The game is definitely lenient on registering landings, I cleared many stages by hanging off the edge of the landing and holding on for dear life for the second or two until the game registered a landing. This seemed a bit odd to me at first, but I was glad to be able to clear all of the levels without needing a crazy amount of retries or feeling like it was too easy. The controls were nice and snappy, and the graphics are pretty nice. I especially enjoyed the purple planet.

Descent Vector: Space Runner
Introduction
Descent vecor is an endless space runner by Heavy Pepper Inc. with procedurally generated levels, I came across this game during Steam Next Fest and really liked the demo. I received a free copy for beta testing. It has a simple concept but it works really well. It also has pleasing graphics with an endless supply of space stations, space crafts, brackets and asteroids for you to dodge. I play a lot shmups and to me it feels a bit like a rail shooter without having to shoot anything which I somehow find quite relaxing.

Starman in space
Decent indie game, would be a banger of a platformer if it wasn’t for terrible soundtrack which is basically one, frustrating song. 𝟱.𝟱/𝟭𝟬

Indie Game with 18 Levels. Last level is a bit challenging because you have only 1 life 629 asteroids and a big and larage car with aweful hitbox , the rest is absolutly makeable, last you need the right way, good timing, not to early and not to late, if you lose close to the end often its very frustating but you be happy if you master it.

Space Mercs
Pretty fun little game. Intended as a bit of shoot-n-fly-n-go-back-to-work kinda game. No frills, no fuss, just have a little dogfight during your coffee break. Come back now and again to level up your weps etc, and slowly make your way through the missions… It’s not X-Wing or Wing Commander (yet)… But it’s in constant improvement, and the dev really listens to all feedback.
BTW: You can remap the controls to whatever you like, including controllers, joysticks, whatever… Ignore the muppety negative review, person probably didn’t find the options menu, on the main page.

Awesome space shooter - fans of the genre could do well to pick it up.
Optimized for humble PC’s and runs very well even on integrated graphics from yesteryear. Dev is very engaged, supporting and friendly. Linux support on release day too!
Linux gamers with Vega GPU’s can take note that the volumetric fog might not be working at the moment. If you don’t see any ships or asteroids, disable Foggle for now. This issue will soon be fixed in an upcoming patch.

SPL: Skilled Pilots Live
This game is some straight forward honest arcade shooting fun with some nice features thrown in to keep it interesting; weapon choices , ship enhancements, crafting, loot (new), allied wingmen (new) and a ring flying game. I get my my fix of it in an 30 mins to an hour a play which is perfect for me as time is hard to come by for me . I found the game to have medium/hard difficulty, but the difficulty scales based on how you play the game and you are rewarded with a higher score and rewards etc. Too easy then go for the 100%+ encounters too hard stay around 50% and grind a bit until you get better gear. The bosses tend to be the hardest part,but all good boss battles are :) I think of it as if R type had a 3d baby with Doom, and Souls :) In its state now I would rate it above average ,but with the potential to be a great game with more guidance from the community and hard work from the developer.

A little rough around the edges, and a bit light handed on the tutorial however this game grows on you very quickly.
The combat is different from most 4x style games there is a lot of control over the ship. There are a few things I have noticed that I am sure will be fixed my biggest problem is when enemy ships are close together your ship does not seem to know who to lock onto. ( but there is a weapon type that does take care of this. ) My biggest issue with the game would be even thou it controls very nice an fluid there is a lack of feeling. (( what i mean by a lack of feeling is that it feels like your not moving. If it was not for the wave like field that is around your ship when moving i would think i was sitting still. )) All in All I would rate this game a solid 7 out of 10. An with that bottom line is the game is FUN, FLUID,EASY TO LEARN.

EVERSPACE™ 2
This is of course a review of the Early Access version, so some of the cons I find with the game, might disappear with the final version.
*If you like Space Simulators, this is a game for you.
THE GOOD
• Lots of fun, although, (and this is probably related to it being early access) things get repetitive very fast.
• Controls are fine, you get the hang of everything rather quickly.
• For those of us who enjoyed games like Tie Fighter, Descent and FREESPACE, this is our type of game.

It has been 18 years since Microsoft released the game Freelancer. In that time, no other game/developer has succeeded in capturing what made that game great, and brought us a game like it. You can find many space games that have failed to bring us that genre properly. Many times people saying things like “Closest thing to Freelancer, best since Freelancer.” However, it’s always known that they aren’t actually that close, or nearly as good. This game however, is hitting ALL the right check boxes for being a PROPER Freelancer successor.

if your wondering if this game is worth the price, take a moment to read my review and find out.
so this game reminds me of the simple yet outstanding games you can find on Xbox 360, this is a real time strategy with user-controlled unit, simple to learn and fun to play.
best with a controller (Xbox 360 controller i used) and also works with the keyboard.
offline skirmish with lots of maps to chose from.
a short campaign that works like a tutorial.
local-coop.
local-VS mode.
overall its worth a purchase. thanks for reading have a great day!
