    An odd mix of relaxing and stressful, Hardspace: Shipbreaker is a really clever and addictive puzzle game at its core, unlike anything else I’ve really played. Sure the zero gravity controls take a little getting used to, as does the ‘proper’ way to disassemble a derelict ship, but once all this comes together you’ll truly see how satisfying it really can be to earn the maximum rank on a ship, just make sure that OSHA isn’t watching while you work.

    Dressed up as an unassuming blue-collar employment simulator, Hardspace: Shipbreaker actually clamps down on the injustice of a capitalist system where the health and safety of employees is overlooked in favor of just getting the job done. Gameplay can be a little slow, but the narrative payoff is worth the wait.

    While at times the repetition inherent in its design got to me, the thing Hardspace: Shipbreaker shares most with those podcast games is that its core gameplay loop can feel incredible. That it sometimes tore me out of my complacency with no notice and made me fight for my life didn’t stop me from wanting to play just a few minutes more, it made the desire to do so nearly impossible to resist. Paying off your debt may be an endless slog, but when it feels this good I know I’ll be signing up for another tour with LYNX.

    If you are a fan of the multitude of 'work' type games that have arrived on console in recent years, then Hardspace: Shipbreaker will cover your needs.

Your job is to disassemble a ship as quickly as possible, but there a few hazards that will get in your way. It satisfies an itch I didn’t know I had. I can see myself playing this one for a while.… Expand

    Each shift is set in 15 min intervals so it is easy to just do one more shift! Yes currently the XSX version crashes and is in need of a patch. But the fundamentals are just so much fun.    … Expand

    Il s’agit d’une sorte de simulation de découpeur de carcasses spatiales en orbite… un boulot pour casseur à la manière des chantiersIl s’agit d’une sorte de simulation de découpeur de carcasses spatiales en orbite… un boulot pour casseur à la manière des chantiers spécialisés qui découpent et dézinguent les vieux bateaux dans les pays sous-développés.

    Sauf que faire ça en scaphandre et en apesanteur, c’est évidemment une autre paire de manches… et la lourdeur, la maladresse, la difficulté (abusée) des opérations, ça, ce jeu de merde le retranscrit très bien… un peu trop bien même. Franchement, l’intertie est telle à la manette, les commandes sont tellement imprécises que le moindre mouvement ou la moindre tentative de récupération d’objets (via une espèce de grappin magique) tient de la gageure la plus absolue !

    Non vraiment, c’est injouable… à moins d’avoir une patience infinie et d’être prêt à perdre son temps…. à n’en plus finir ! En outre, la satire du pauvre ouvrier enchaîné à sa corpo de l’espace s’avère aussi maladroite que stupide.

    L’interface est globalement à revoir et/ou encore trop bugguée pour rendre service… elle dessert en fait le joueur, bien plus qu’elle ne le sert. On est également déçu par son clapier (de l’espace), non pas parce qu’il est minuscule mais parce qu’on ne peut pas s’y déplacer librement -en apesanteur ou pas.

    Enfin, c’est graphiquement moyen et sujet à des ralentissements sur console ; la résolution se révèle aussi faiblarde… Sinon, faut se taper le mode à 30 im/s (où va le monde, franchement pour un jeu aussi vide…!). Enfin bref, donc, c’est de la merde totale, cette daube !    … Expand
