Into the Stars

Our analysis

A gorgeous space survival sim, a cross between FTL and Bridge Commander, where you pilot a ship carrying humanity's remnants while scavenging resources and outrunning a hostile alien race. Piloting feels immersive, the mining mini-game is a highlight, and the resource scramble makes it genuinely tense. The static, color-matching combat is a frustrating let-down that breaks immersion, and there is no joystick support, but it remains a great, worthwhile take on the genre once you learn it.
