    Ixion 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.

    + Beautiful, atmospheric, and polished.
    + Intuitive and easy-to-learn; difficulty settings offer a balanced experience for all players.

    - Decent story, but extremely linear progression.
    - Trust and Hull decay mechanics quickly become a chore.
    - Many "annoyance" mechanics (such as spam requests during crisis) that offer nothing but frustration to the player.
    - Massive amounts of RNG, none of it contributes to the game experience.
    - Some aspects are mechanically clunky and feel unfinished (transfers are at the top of the list).    … Full Review »
