Ixion

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!
