Very good game, it's as good as I remember it, and with it being on Steam now this is absolutely amazing news. I'm excited to see what Jorb and Loftar have in store moving forwards, and I'll see all of you in world! :D

A very obvious Steam pump and dump scheme where the game owner owns all of the 'bananas' and prints free money off the backs of people going in on the 'meme'. Good luck to those of you trying to join in the pump and dump to get a little bit of profit for yourselves before Steam bans this scheme.

Just be absolutely aware of the scam and be cautious with your money.

EDIT: For anyone who believes the developers when they say they removed 'TheseLions' from their team, do not believe that. They ALREADY had swapped all the names of the developers and publishers, which was something TheseLions did when they made Banana. They aren't going to change because they are caught. . . They are very much still one of the FEW people who will be making the most profit out of this blatant scam.

Again though; Good luck to those trying to manipulate the game and people silly enough to be blind to the scam and get yourself whatever small profit you're aiming for.

Kinda fun, it makes you absolutely feel like you're the protagonist.

My only complaint is that in higher difficulty people can be REALLY cruel, rude, and just downright awful to each other. If you're not max level minmaxing your stratagems and able to use any and all stratagems in under a half a second, you're basically immediately kicked. Awful awful behavior.

We are going to need a PSN login in order to play this game? NO. The game is absolutely amazing and fun, yeah, but I'm not supporting it if we are required to use PSN to play the game. PSN is a KNOWN terrible system and KNOWN for their constant data leaks.

My guys-- you're about to ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ your game.

It only took the consumers and Super Earth citizens to rise up against the Corporate Automatons. This is a glorious day for Managed Democracy.

I ran down a hallway while being chased by a spider and peaked down a hallway to see a coilhead and in my panic I turned away only to remember it was a coilhead.

Absolutely amazing game, has the spooks, has the humor, and the modding community is divine. If you haven't played this game yet, you should. It's A B S O L U T E L Y worth every penny.

Wait-- why are the reviews merged from CS:GO, that's actually toxic as **** why would you not expect backlash when EA gets the same backlash for doing that same underhanded tech.

I like the game, but this is just an absolute toxic maneuver from Valve. Just because you own the platform doesn't give you the right to manipulate your own releases to make them look and sell better.

Absolutely amazing game, I easily can recommend this journey to anyone looking for choice based story driven games. It was an incredible story with a lot of humor to break up the overall serious political tones that the game has.

I highly encourage to give it a try!

I gave it a chance after seeing Fracture come out, I've been told by dozens of friends that this game has gotten better from where it was before. And from my own experience. No. It hasn't. This game is still the same garbage dog water dumpster fire game that it's always been.

The game crashes everytime I tried to adjust the audio output in my audio mixer. The game softlocked me twice in a permanent deathloop. And then when I eventually did get my ship up and running, I had the experience of tediously and painfully restoring damaged protections on the suit to evade another softlock where you cannot repair the suit without the material which you cannot obtain without going into the hazard where you'll have a high chance of dying.

All in all, no. This game hasn't changed, it's not worth the price, not even on sale. Go play something good like ED or SC

After some time with the game and getting to actually play the game after some time. I actually change my mind about it, and actually can recommend it. It seems to be quite an absolute labor of love, while it isn't perfect, nor will it ever be that perfect. I think it's come much longer of a way than 90% of the gaming industry. My only real complaint at this point is that every system DOES feel very repetitive and gets dull over time, but the photo mode in this game is something I wish was in literally every other game. It's incredible to work with.

Overall, I think I've definitely had a change of heart and really like what they did here. Kudos!

Neat idea, really like the style they have. Although the sound direction is next to none. It's terrible.

I couldn't get out of the tutorial area for the pirate start as I climbed a surface that launched me into a building and I was softlocked inside the building. After a reset, I hopped into the first ship, and flew around a little bit. After-which I accidentally hopped out of the ship and fell down-- the ship just stayed static like a prop that was just done moving on planetside.

Cannot recommend this game at all in its current alpha-like state. They claimed they launched out of beta, however, this feels more like a pre-alpha state.

Honestly, absolutely amazing. I've had nothing but a good time playing this game with a group of people. The only thing that I don't like is that the DLC is pretty much a must to access most of the game's content. But I think it's overall a well worth game to pick up.

Incredibly amazing game design and concept. I really cant wait to play it more when there's actual content to be concerned with. However, in the current state of the game, I unfortunately cannot recommend it; as it feels like it was released entirely too early. Much earlier than what I expect out of an 'early access' game on Steam. This feels more like an alpha rough idea than an 'early access game' which is very unfortunate.

I'll swap my review around once there's a bit more and closer to an open beta than a pre-alpha feeling build.
Love the work though, keep up the good work Ink Stain!
