    IXION is a hardcore game intended for a very specific niche of players and as such it does not shy away from being severe and punitive even at the difficulty recommended for beginners. However, those who have the perseverance and tenacity to retrace their steps when failure is evident will find a vast, deep and captivating game.

    A no nonsense survival game about finding a new home for Humanity. It's a daunting task, with life threatening twists and turns around every corner. But the fate of humanity rests on your shoulders!
  3. 50
    To sum up, IXION both fascinated and ultimately truly frustrated me. It’s a mixture of a plot that does nothing to further the sci-fi genre, other than showcase how at odds it is in its portrayal of earth and characters. Then there is a gameplay design that at times works well but then out of nowhere spirals into a frustrating convoluted mess. I wanted to love this game and the visuals tried to lull me into a false sense of security but sadly, the terrible audio and bland musical score helped rip me straight out of that. Some simulation veterans will find some fun but overall, it’s a true shame and a tale of what could have been. Back to earth!
