I helped back this game on KS. It's a good time for as long as you can stand looking at your cards.

Figuring it out is like, 70% of the game. If you don't got the patience for it, don't buy it.

7/10

At taking roughly 2 hours to complete, with speedrun option of 1.5 hours, dont expect to get loads of replay out of this game. At 15 dollars, it's a little pricey for the hours. I would liken this game to an art-house film. Paced well, poignant, and a bit overpriced. I'll suggest it at a 7/10. Drop it a good five bucks, and it's easy a 8/10.

Exterminator's wet dream.

Early Access done RIGHT:

So, It was in EA for a long time. We finally get our story. Is it perfect? No. It's about all you can do with the engine and game that you've built. But you actually, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, did it.

Where other Early Access games are flopping around, half-built and near death, this developer is actually putting out quality stuff. I fully support Developers willing to put in the work and effort to make well crafted games and actually finish them.

Not sure why it's so highly rated.

This game is an uninspired mix of the ancient final fantasy 2 combat system, and modern mobile games.

The story is... mediocre and the interactions are predictable.

It honestly plays just like an indie mobile game. For the 15 dollar price tag, it is far too sparse in content and polish.

It's lovely, delicious, and eerily calming.

Exploring the mystery of the deeps, going through the depth and breadth of the zee, was just... fun.

Fun. It's like I'm a child again, reading jules verne or tolkien again, not fully understanding everything, but being captured by the words and mystery of the whole thing.

There is no "Central" plot. You are a captain. Be a captain. You have some end goals to work towards, like a huge house on the rocks, putting your family mystery to rest, becoming immortal, or bringing about the apocalypse. But these are all things you find for yourself. This is a game that encourages wanderlust.

It's very satisfying. I can only hope Sunless Skies is just as satisfying.

A very enigmatic (borderline broken) storyline gives some semblance of a driving force for the game, but the overall experience is lacking.

Pros:
Neat mental exercise
Combat is well done
Music
Artwork- particularly the backgrounds.

Cons:

-Maintenence of the train is less balancing resources and maintaining, as it is pressing a single button every few seconds as your frantically run back and forth to feed/mend whatever survivors you have.
-A large amount of dialogue is between passengers on the train. You can't read it though, because if you do, your train will A) Shut down, B) Stop giving passengers oxygen, or C) one of them will die within seconds. You basically have to choose between keeping people alive, or listening to a portion of the plot.
-The Plot is convoluted and highly open to interpretation in the same way that an art piece involving a bundle of steel wool could be. The story is there, somewhere, but finding it involves making huge logical jumps and digging through tidbits of information. The problem is that there's no baseline. The whole thing handles like a mushroom trip.
-Writing suffers from poor translation and makes it that much harder to glean any kind of understanding.
-Resource management is pretty much unnecessary.
-Passengers are mouths to feed, medpacks to use. That's it. The line about "More trouble than they're worth"? They mean to say "You might use lots of medpacks on this guy" for little payoff. Not once did anyone of the passengers say, flip out and try to take the train, make a move on the conductor, have a sidequest or anything like that. Again, Mouths to feed, and medpacks to waste.
-Length to cost ratio is a little skewed in the negatives for me.

Overall: The game feels like it was limited in scope and depth in it's gameplay and mechanics in order to focus on a story that was being told. This presents a problem, as the story is largely cerebral and spread out like butter on toast. That's basically what I can equate this game to: A too-thin slice of soggy toast with uneven buttering, and a bitter aftertaste. 5/10- Barely edible

It's okay in a vaccuum, but as a Thief game, It falls flat.

Voice acting is laughable, Sound design is cringy (oftimes I can't hear the 'chatter' that NPCs go through) and the environs seem a little too simplistic.

Stealing stuff is okay, but the sheer volume of stuff to steal isn't there, nor does there feel like there's any real reward for going out of your way to get the "Unique" loot. In previous games, that ♥♥♥♥ was worth hard munny.

Nah, This game just feels a little too empty, a little too "AAA"-style movie-wannabe. 4/10, or 5/10 out of respect for the franchise.

I'm an idiot and didn't realize this was best played with a few friends couch-style. Double-entendre. Anyway, Good company, cute game, feels like they tried to do a mix of SSMB and Speedrunners. Not bad. 6/10 if solo, 8/10 with friends.

Pretty good so far. A few typos here and there, and the overall experience seems positive.
