The cozy game for space nerds. Get it. It's amazing. It's my go to game when I want to wind down and still has goals to reach and things to try out to keep you enticed for many hours. Really, not much to critique here. But please, I would like to cross the ecke gap again, like we could in the past. I really want to build an explorer ship and have a reason to.

If you're like me you have a million games and don't know what to play because it either takes too much time or its not as in-depth as you wish it were. You're constantly stuck looking for a game that is in-depth enough but not so much you need to learn something and can take up as much or as little time as you decide. This is a game that fits that bill. and its CHEAP. So no need to pirate it. Try it for 20 minutes. If i just described you you'll have 40 hours in this game in 3 weeks.

If you ever wished you could combine the "The Deadliest Catch" TV series with the classic "Asteroids" game and throw it into the universe of James S.A. Corey's "Expanse" series, this game will be right up your alley.

Redoing this review after throwing thirty or so hours at the game - I'll leave it below if you want to behold my initial exuberance. Delta-V: Rings of Saturn, in short, hits the spot. UI is good, the flight assist is well done, the general difficulty is manageable, and the setting is enjoyable, though you'll be getting most of your lore via ship snippets and NPCs. Generally embodies showing more then telling, and it's an enjoyable 'physics puzzle' to boot. The biggest complaint that I can muster is that the game is exactly what it advertises itself as - A (2D) physics-heavy space-mining sim. There's a lot of QoL baked in, and tools that you can buy to ease the tedium (mining lasers are AMAZING) but barring luck, you'll mostly be smashing, chasing, and selling rocks. It can be very meditative, but as long as you're playing conservatively, once you have the controls down and understand what all the numbers mean, it's not particularly challenging. Unless you run afoul of a pirate. Or get a little too eager to chase down that 500kg chunk of high-value ore. Or just drift too close to one giant mother-hubbard of a NPC ship that will cook you alive just with their maneuvering thrusters. One bad crash, one combat encounter, or one bad decision can absolutely wreck your ship. The game usually gives you an out with the pirates, but the danger goes from zero to a hundred very quickly, often in the middle of an otherwise super chill run. I'd personally love to see an extension of this game, a broader simulation, more content for this intriguing slice of sci-fi the devs have given us, but for now? It's pretty damn good for a ten dollar game. Also, there's anime and furry portrait packs if that floats your boat. --------------------- Good lord, this is worth so much more then ten bucks. I was tentative on this purchase - I do have a love for hard sci-fi gaming in general, the more plausible and grounded the better, but in my experience, the price you pay is in gameplay. Terrible UI, unintuitive controls, more menus then you can shake a stick at - I normally dread trying out these titles, no matter how good the premise is, because I expect to get drubbed senseless by all the things I need to play the game before I can even touch the core gameplay loop. I was stunned at just how much Rings of Saturn exceeded my expectations. The autopilot, if you want to use it, does the vast majority of heavy lifting for the necessary high-precision maneuvers for navigating the Rings. You want to match velocity to something? Left click. You want to go somewhere? Left click that somewhere. You want to brake? Hit X - The autopilot will slow you to a (Relative - This is space, after all!) stop. You want to chase that chunk of high-value ore and increase your speed to overtake it at a leisurely 2 m/s? Left click, drag your mouse a little so the autopilot aims 'past' the object in question. That's it. And because of this one absolutely beautiful quality of life feature, you can really relish in the simulation aspects without being (as) terrorized by it in doing the most basic element of interacting with your environment. Right now, as I write this review, every time I engage forward thrust, my ship veers to the side, unbalanced by the cargo container I have attached to my low-stress hardpoint. This would be *incredibly* annoying if I had to manually pilot for every single maneuver, but instead it's a neat part of the physics simulation. I could talk about the incredible depth of being able to modify even your starting ship, the plausible (and awesome) propulsion concepts that, fingers crossed, we might see in practice in 20-30 years, the fact that you can totally change your playstyle with in-situ ore refining and propellant processing, your ability to launch drones to do all the close-up mining, the ability to sit on ore and wait for good prices, or the ability to amass a mining fleet, but I don't have nearly enough playtime to do all of that justice. I'm pretty sure I will sooner rather then later, though. Who needs sleep, anyway. Shout-out to the devs: You should be proud of the game you made. Rings of Saturn is expectation-defying and fantastic. I really can't put it any other way.

May 2024

Delta V: Rings of Saturn, Is it an action packed game? No Is it a 'edge of your seat' game? Also no Is it heavily story driven? Yes and no - Does lore and random story-esk events count as story? it does right? Don't dismay though, it's an interesting title. It does have combat, random encounters, and random story encounters all while you're diving into the rings to get that next sweet haul. Mine loads of space rocks, dodge asteroids while your cargo bay is fully loaded and pray to everything that there isn't a moonlet in your way when you're leaving at 50 meters a second - that's where a lot of the enjoyment comes from this title (at least for me). The 1 ultimate objective - mine the rings, pay the crew, make money, buy a new ship, equip the ship, rinse and repeat. All in the meantime you're juggling random encounters. Be it pirates, rogue AI/drones, the 'space police', other miners, space stations and probably so much more. In short, is Delta V for everyone? God no. Is it for a certain niche of people who like simulators that require some brainpower rather than some titles that only offer brain-rot? Yes, yes it is
