Jan 12, 2023A Sci-Fi survival simulator that has an extraordinary background story that can only be seen in novels of the same genre. While the game has a wide range of content from managing a space station to boldly go where no man has gone before, its excessive complexity and difficulty in management give players as much stress as they give fun.

Dec 14, 2022As a space-style "farming" game, "IXION" presented a cold space world and the space station "Tai Kun". It is not only home for players, but also a carrier for exploration and advancement. The experience of wandering in space with home is quite unique. But beyond this, "IXION" did not bring more surprises to the players. The imperfect details, fast pace in the early and mid-term, and some unreasonable difficulty settings make players easily frustrated.

Apr 17, 2023Ixion is an unassuming space odyssey in which you build and manage your own space station. It’s a bit like Frostpunk but also adds its own layers, even if the execution sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. There is a pretty nice story accompanying all the strategy, though!

Dec 28, 2022Superb ambienceand outstanding music elevates a well crafted story in this relentlessness and somewhat unbalanced space manager game.

Dec 16, 2022Ixion delights with its sophisticated construction, but it disappoints with the story of all things. There is also a lack of polish in the second half.

Dec 8, 2022There is a lot to like about Ixion – it is an atmospheric tale of humanity dealing with the odds and overcoming any obstacle in its path, one way or another. That same difficulty is often too oppressive however, and I feel that it will be a bit of an obstacle for some; in addition, there are a few foibles elsewhere which can make for a frustrating experience and have marked down my enthusiasm. For those who want a challenge though, Ixion will be an excellent and immersive choice.

Dec 9, 2022An enticing premise held back by uneven pacing and glaring technical issues.

Jan 3, 2023Ixion perhaps could be used as an example of flying so high... and then missing the mark and falling pretty far down. There was so much to recommend and enjoy about the game, especially if only checking the first few hours. But the more you play, the flaws, difficulty, unraveling story, and pretty much everything else frustrates the player to such a degree that many players are not going to finish the game, either due to the difficulty, or simply not wanting to do the same thing for 5 hours and hoping their ship doesn't blow up randomly.

Dec 7, 2022Ixion is a properly great blend of management sim and sci-fi storytelling. There are a lot of games clamouring for my attention right now, Darktide, The Callisto Protocol, that new God of War over on the devil's PC to name a few. But throughout my time with Ixion, I was never tempted to sack it off for those bigger, flashier games, which is a testament to its meticulous design, and its engrossing tale of humanity's search for a new celestial roof to sleep under.
