Although the game at its current state is very performance heavy, I got it to run actually better than CS1 with tweaking just a few settings, after changing them I was running at 60 fps constantly, and no, I was not on low settings, just disabled volumetrics and depth of field and the game still looked fantastic, with a high fps, no stuttering what so ever.

However, the game at it current state does lack content, Of course its to be expected that DLCs will be released, and the game will get updated with future mechanics, assets, and new aspects entirely, but its missing enough from the base game that I would consider waiting for the DLC's to release before buying the game. For example some key things that are entirely missing from the game: bicycles (Already on roadmap though), roads with trees, medians, any kind of decorated road is non existing, just the plane boring base road. that's all you get, even after unlocking every thing supposed to do with decoration.

But lets skip over assets, its easy enough and there soon will be a lot of assets that will be added by modders, skipping that all together, at its current state, the economy is unpredictable, sure you have some idea what it will look like and what will happen, but you get various times "high rent" which apparently wants just a higher density zone, which doesn't help fix it, buildings get abandoned for no apparent reason and areas that are very positive for high density commercial zones are usually without any customers, doesn't matter how many commercial building actually are there.

Even after all of that though, the game is still fun, that's for sure, however its pretty much CS1, with slightly better graphics, with alot less content. so no, I can't recommend it at this point in time. After almost 8 hours of playing the game, I can safely say, there are a lot more things to do in CS1, and it will stay that way for months if not years to come. For people who don't already own CS1 with all of its DLC's bought, I would recommend this game, for CS1 players with dlcs bought, do not buy this game at its current stage. You will just be disappointed.

bro they look too human, they are hiding in bushes as well and the game is too realistic i literally cant see them while they hide like i walked on a naked man accidentally. also they CRAWL

edit: 9 hours later, i am on meds because i went insane. this game is absolutely terrifying

Very likely the game of the year.

On the surface, IXION is a very complex, very good game, and I enjoyed it for the most part.
Even though I'm only 4 hours into a possibly 20-30 hour long game, I feel like I've seen enough to say what I think.

This game has a few issues that I just can't wrap my mind around. For example, and * SPOILER ALERT *, if you stay in your system for too long, the game is bugging you to leave and is throwing all kinds of stuff at you to make you leave, including negative stability, which is the "happiness" of the workers. That stability leads to them being sad and mad, which leads to several of them being overworked, angry, and at the end leads to a strike, which in turns annoys even more people, so once a strike starts, its basically a never ending roulette of who will strike next.
All that, if you do leave the system, the game throws another joke at you, -1 stability because you left the system. oh, and those are permanent, meaning you're f**ed.

But fine, you've dealt with their happiness and can manage to deal with it, I have no idea if this is procedural, but the game sent me to a system, that has virtually no iron, meaning you can't make alloys, and then your suddenly lose all of your hull and you die and lose. I haven't found a way around this yet, still looking.

And now to the part of getting enough population, at some point, you find cryopods with people in them, those people are either workers, or not. if they are not, they can be trained to be colonists at some point in the game, but until then, you're stuck with them taking food and complaining about random stuff. Now, apparently workers are kinda rare, so you deal with hundreds of non-workers and get maybe 100 workers out of 500 cryo-pods, now, as you're currently thinking, "just dont open the cryopods unless really needed" well, I thought so too, until the game screamed at me that the people are very unhappy because the cryopods exist.

overall, at the current state of the game, I can't recommend it.

Holy damn is this worth the 30 USD, even more for it being Early access
