Space Salvage Reviews

Great game so far, excited to get my hands on the laser beam and customise my ship!

A fun and chill space sim with a humorous tone. Great voice acting and music.

Maybe it's ok for kids, but the game feels superficial, and the sense of flying a craft in space is gone, when the shuttle automatically comes to a stop as if there's a thick medium through which the craft is flying. I was hoping the flight mechanics offered a more nuanced and challenging experience, like 'Space Docker' or 'Hard Space: Ship Breaker' but it's too simplistic to be fun. Pretty much never gonna play this game again unless that changes. I would return it, but my return window is past. :(

The cockpit is a little cramped, but a comfy kind of cramped, yknow? Simple "cockpit game" great for VR, delivered with a lot of charm and humor.

Writing/voicework is good. But actual gameplay needs a ton of work... basically needs lots of playtesting. You can't tell where you're being shot from, for example. There's almost no audio/visual feedback about what's going on. It seems very bare bones, like a tech demo not a finished product.

So this game is a blast to play. It feels good, looks good and the atmosphere is pretty chill. I'm going to recommend the game with one caveat. The controls. They are backwards with Throttle on the Right and Flight stick on the left. I CONSTANTLY have to fight my years of muscle memory when flying so I can't quite just let myself go and enjoy it. You do get a laser that's controlled by the right hand later in but I'd prefer throttle on the left and this laser on the left as well instead. I will continue to play it but until the control layout is changed I can't just immerse myself into the game like I want to. EDIT: With changed controls this game is FANTASTIC. I highly recommend it!
