Since Steam does not allow Neutral reviews I am giving this a Thumbs Up, as this game is such a unique concept and the soundtrack is amazing! However, my review is really Neutral. The game still feels Early Access. As others said, the resource management can be really overwhelming. They did add options to tweak how often you need to manage your truck/supplies but I felt it was then either too easy or too hard. I enjoyed the truck controls because they somehow managed to capture the feel of a slow heavy duty truck in the floatyness of space. That being said, I was never able to perfectly hitch or dock. YMMV with controls. The real issue I have with this game is that, despite it advertised as a "trucking in space" simulator, it's really more of a "space truck dockyard" simulator. All of the gameplay takes place in ports which are essentially just large docks where you prepare your truck for a haul, accept jobs, hitch/dock hauls, and repeat. There is really no driving (or I should say flying) as you just go from warp point to warp point. I understand hyperspace gates makes more sense, as space is vast, but it really takes away the fun. What's worst is that any small amount of driving you think you are going to get to do is interrupted by all of the space debris floating around in every area. The dev's obviously include debris because they want you to stay on the cleared routes, but you just get interrupted by slow trucks and too many turns on the designated roads. On top of the lack of actual long haul flying, your cabin is not properly setup for first person driving. There are only two camera monitors that you have to constantly change views on and the side windows are too far away to use. Since you have SIX sides you need to be aware of (and tons of debris that may hit you) first person driving is incredibly difficult. On top of all of that, the truck window frame is lined up in a way that completely blocks the Warp Gates Go Signal so you are often guessing when to pull the hyperspace lever. I was often in third person which may have affected my opinion on the controls. To reiterate: the game still feels Early Access, but there is lots of potential. I hope the dev's keep working on it and one day we can actually fly a long haul load through space. Right now, if you are looking for a truck management game: this is it! If you are looking to actually fly/drive hauls through space: maybe check NMS or Elite Dangerous.

This isn't really a trucking game that offers long drives/flights. You take short flights either through debris fields or short highways, typically less than 5 minutes, then jump through warp gates to the next system. Repeat until you get to your destination. You cannot switch out parts such as engines or thrusters for better ones. You can only upgrade existing equipment. This aspect is very limited. You can add parts such as fenders, hood ornaments or paint your truck, but only for looks. Unfortunately it gets repetitive real quick. I'm about 9 hours in and getting tired of the same loop, Drive to A pick up cargo, drive to B drop off cargo, drive to shop upgrade preinstalled parts, repeat. The space walks for loot gets boring quickly as well since you can only carry 1 item at a time. If there are 5 items out in space, you need to jet from your truck to the item and back that many times, with a few animations in between. The story missions don't pay enough to keep you afloat. You need to build up cash before getting into the story or you'll go broke fast. By the time you have enough cash to start the story, you might be burned out from the game loop. Star Trucker isn't bad, but it could be a lot better: - Add personal inventory so we can carry more than 1 item. - Give an option to turn off the storms. - Give a way to recharge batteries. - Provide super highways between star systems for real long hauls. - This game would look outstanding in VR. Pros: - Looks good. - Sounds good (maybe too many horns). - Great idea!! - Almost there. Cons: - The game loop is too limited and feels repetitive too quickly. - The story missions don't pay enough. - Truck requires several batteries, but there is no way to recharge them, so most of your money goes toward replacing them. Did humans lose the technology? - No home base or business management of any kind. Star Trucker is worth 5 to 20 hours of entertainment. I'd suggest adding to your wish list until a deep sale comes up.

Seeing this game have "Mixed" reviews really bummed me out, so I felt the need to weigh in. I ADORE this game. It's exactly what I wanted it to be. If you want a chill experience, cruising through space, delivering goods, then this is right up your alley. Most of the complaints I see (ie: survival mechanics are too annoying) can be adjusted in the settings. And I HIGHLY recommend going with a Custom Difficulty over the Default. I love the idea of swapping out batteries and air filters as they degrade, but I'd rather do it every few trips and not every 5 minutes. So definitely look through the Custom Difficulty options and tailor the experience you believe you would want out of a game like this. I've put many hours into it, as I find it to be very zen just doing jobs and earning money. I wish you could continue to customize your rig after a certain point (maybe more lateral upgrades with give-and-take rather than only upward upgrades to maintain longevity and provide options for multiple builds), but once you've maxed it out, all you're really doing is bringing it in for repairs every so often. So yeah, for me, it's an "Overwhelmingly Positive" kind of experience. But it's also exactly MY kind of game, so take that how you will. And it's made by, like, 2 people, so definitely keep that in mind. But even then, it's an incredibly polished experience and I would've guessed a team of like 15-20 people put this together, at least. Anyway, if you're looking for a chill, zen game to play between your stressful Soulslikes and Battle Royales, this may be exactly what you're looking for.

I liked it. I got about 40 hours out of it before I finished the campaign. The graphics are pretty, the music is great, the overall concept is pretty well thought out. The challenges mainly revolve around managing your truck, avoiding driving into objects, dealing with environmental hazards, and managing your cargo. I feel like it might just be missing a few things to make it a little more compelling though; why not throw in a racing challenge? why not flesh out the world a little more? why not give some character to more of the companies you're being contracted by? It's one of those games that's so focused on its game play mechanics that you often feel like the people that should be populating the world are just missing - this whole society in space is just trucks driving from production centres to other production centres and you never see another person; you barely even see the trucks owned by all your trucker-friends that are so integral to the storyline.
