    So, whether you’ve long liked the look of Civilisation but balk at the commitment, or have a seemingly self-replicating collection of untouched Stellaris expansions that you can’t quite find the time for, or honestly just like a good puzzler, I reckon you’ll find something to love here. Personally, Slipways has come at just the right time to occupy a gaming space I wanted filling, but even if it hadn’t, I think it’s a phenomenally smart piece of design. Maybe something will soon come along to replace it, but for now, the view from up here is just perfect. At least, it will be, once I’ve linked that here. Oh, and that there, and… Ah, it’s one of those planets, is it? Well, that changes everything. [RPS Bestest Bests]

The puzzle aspect is simple and easily understandable. There is no need to rush, so you can carefully choose your next action. You can only play the campaign after you reached a certain amount of points on the normal mode (which takes around one hour per play), I reached the good amount after 3 tries, but I can imagine that some people would give up if they fail to much. There's a huge amount of content in this game and it's a lot of fun, I recommend it to all.… Expand

    It's really easy to learn and hard to master. Yeah, your sessions will be quick - under one hour. Game advertising doesn't lie about that.It's really easy to learn and hard to master. Yeah, your sessions will be quick - under one hour. Game advertising doesn't lie about that. What it does lie about - it's about building vast interstellar trade network. You can forward cargo only one jump. No transits. So primitive. Unless you build relay stations. Which you most likely will not, it's an endgame tech. In one hour game. And according to Slipways space contains only wormhole, planets, asteroids and artificial structures. No stars.… Expand
