    This game has a lot of potential but its way to buggy to play right now. i played till second act and number of bugs or idiotic mechanical ideas are huge. Example 100% stability, positive happiness and for no reason violent strikes stats in my sector, where is the logic of this crap?! or idea that loosing research ship gives you -1 stability (permanent)... are you fu... kidding me?!This game has a lot of potential but its way to buggy to play right now. i played till second act and number of bugs or idiotic mechanical ideas are huge.

    + 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,    + Beautiful, atmospheric, and polished.

    - 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).    … Expand

    The only criticism I can make of the game is that the difficulty is quite high, and if you don't think about your actions, you'll soon be mopping floors instead of driving a space station. [Issue#324]

    Ixion 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!

    Overall, IXION offers nothing new. Players will get through the good ol’ survival and management mechanics that we have all seen around. However, it is still addictive due to the competent combination of those elements as well as interesting execution and catchy aesthetics.
