    To add insult to injury, we’re towing a city with thousands of colonists, and it’s paramount to build them all kinds of morale-improvement buildings. They’re the last hope of humanity – and they will get depressed and start to rebel if they don’t get a new VR entertainment center! Too bad it’s not an option to just hurl these guys straight into the nearest star. [Issue#208, p.50]

    A little Startopia, a little Bridge Commander, a little Don’t Starve, a lot of FTL. But it’s all so awkwardly strung together, so charmless, so spreadsheety, so plodding, so dry.

    Into the Stars is a subpar and incomplete product but if you’re the kind of player who has the will to put in a steady investment of time and effort to probe its every nuance and deeper subtlety you might just get that pearl.

    A lovely face paired with an empty head is a cliché, but I'm not going to waste a better metaphor on a game this dull.

    The worst thing about Into the Stars is overwhelming boredom that makes you look for something more interesting on the ceiling. You’ll have much more fun playing FTL once again or hunting pirates in Elite Dangerous. [05/2016, p.67]

Game feels like work, tiresome, boring ass work, without any rewarding moments to speak of. Flying the ship, boring, exploring planets, boring, getting in to combat, unbelievably boring.

    Well, unfortunately this is as bad as others have made it out to be.

    Battled with a lagging interface to finally get full screen and    Well, unfortunately this is as bad as others have made it out to be.

    Battled with a lagging interface to finally get full screen and resolution set correctly.

    No tutorial. Asked to select crew, given list, why would I do anything other than chose the best for each category? Made it to first planet, went into orbit. Went to deploy 'mining probe thing' - informed this would cost 75.

    SEVENTY FIVE WHATS? Units, people, include units, like you were taught in first year university.

    Stopped playing in case it was 75 years off my life, or seventy five more dollars for a game that HAS NO TUTORIAL.

    Avoid.    … Full Review »

    El juego es aburrido y al mismo tiempo estresante, mencionan que no tienes que dedicarle mucho tiempo al micro manejo, pero la verdad es queEl juego es aburrido y al mismo tiempo estresante, mencionan que no tienes que dedicarle mucho tiempo al micro manejo, pero la verdad es que solo cuentas con 6 miembros de la tripulación para resolver conflictos internos de la nave, si alguno muere es IMPOSIBLE reponerlo de la población, el juego te obliga a recuperarlo desde alguna mision en la superficie de un planeta o luna, que dicho sea de paso, es absurdo que solo permita 3 intentos.

    Cuando llegas al final no hay alguna animación, ni pantalla de créditos, siento que el juego está sin terminar, me pareció más una beta.    … Full Review »
