CD-ActionFeb 13, 2019The developers built on the concept of their previous, 60 Seconds!, to deliver a more engaging experience. [12/2018, p.82]

Nov 11, 201860 Parsecs sometimes feels unfair, but because of the entertaining adventure-survival-mix you always want to try again.

Oct 1, 201860 Parsecs! relies too much on the story and dark humor to keep players engaged, and that wouldn't have been a problem if the developer would have delivered. But the repetitive gameplay mechanics and the way the story bits are supplied to the player make 60 Parsecs! a hit-and-miss affair. Even so, I have no doubt that the game will find supporters among sci-fi and survival games fans.

Oct 9, 2018If you need to scratch that survivor game itch, 60 Parsecs will definitely do you good, but it’s not going to blow any minds.

Dec 2, 201860 Parsecs! was supposed to fix the mistakes of 60 Seconds and launch this concept into stratosphere, but suffered orbit decay and burned on re-entry.

Oct 4, 201860 Parsecs!, unfortunately, fails to provide that basic working mechanic that makes it entertaining from moment to moment. It suffers from relegating you to the role of decision maker only, when most games also let you play through your decisions or give you something meaningful to do in between them. 60 Parsecs! is perhaps worth a look when it shows up in a Steam sale, but it doesn’t deserve a place on your must play list.

Jan 13, 2021It's hard being hard on 60 Parsecs! because it's far from one of those thousands of unoriginal, and badly made indies that plague the industry nowadays. Robot Gentleman's "sequel" to 60 Seconds!, has tons of charm, with its tongue-in-cheek humour, neat Atomic Age vibe, and cartoony visuals - it's just that it fails both as a strategy title, as well as a create-your-own-adventure experience, because it turns out that, no matter how well you get at it, Lady Luck will be in charge of this space ride, not you.

Nov 6, 2021It's the sort of strategy management with just enough RNG to be annoying, and it gets pretty repetitive after a couple of playthroughs.
