In my quest to find awesome games that aren’t well known, I came across StarSector a couple of weeks ago and I can’t put it down. It is the same addition that I had with Factorio and Balatro in recent times.
However, when I started looking into it, I had already heard about it back in 2013/2014 under the name of Starferer and it was great to see that it was still being worked on.
What an amazing game/project as I’m sure many of you might agree. The lore, the gameplay and the atmosphere is great.
But I have to admit, digging my teeth into the mods for QoL and trying to get Java23 to game the game to work was as fun as the game.
My questions to you are:
- How did you come across StarSector
- A favourite moment while playing
- What other games that you have played/heard come close to this?
I remember trying it quite a few years ago but it was too much work to learn to play it at the time, I knew how long it usually takes for games like DF, kenshi or rimworld to click and wasn’t sure if star sector is worth it when I had x3, factorio, m&b to occupy me.
I am always tempted to give it a try but the number of new complex games keeps increasing while the number of my brain cells keeps dropping xd
I am with you. On my first try I died early on and then I hit YouTube for a couple of lets plays. If you are interested, they are Big Brain Energy and Francis John
