JKaiya ΔV: Rings of Saturn Review

At the time of review ΔV: Rings of Saturn sits at 94% positive review rating on steam, however, due to the game possessing a free demo to try before purchasing (and a demo that actually lets you play extensively), the reviews are somewhat skimmed, as people who don't like the game wouldn't have purchased it. If you hold any interest at all I suggest still trying the game as there is a free demo. ΔV: Rings of Saturn is essentially a tycoon simulator game where you start off small, and start to expand. If you need another reference, it is like the many idle games out there on mobile game stores without the idle element. What I'm trying to get at is that ΔV: Rings of Saturn, is in essence just a fancy more fleshed out mobile game. It is a very simple concept, of space mining, you start off small with worse things, and you can later upgrade them for better bigger things. This includes getting fancier hotels (which seem to have no inherent value though the longer repairs may make fancier ones cheaper), beefing up your ship, hiring crew, et cetera. I only played the demo, so honestly I can't say for sure on how advanced the game will get later, but from what I've explored, the game is very bare bones. There are no fancy materials after 30 minutes of playing, just the same background asteroids and same huge or big literal exact 2 variants of a mineral. Sometimes a special event may happen such as finding another spaceship. I'm sure (and I hope) that the game does have more actual mining aspects later on, but so far I've played mining games on **** that did a much better job with of course poorer graphics when I was a kid growing up. The tutorial is also pretty poor, it tells you some essentials, but does not tell you what 90% of the game actually is, so expect scouring wikis, tutorials, and the control scheme / descriptions to learn what things are and do. The minerals seem to also be a stock market type where you can hold onto and buy more if it seems that it'll increase in price later. It was a pretty repetitive game, which I rather put my time into better mining games, even when they are drastically different types, such as Minecraft. There is a free tutorial, so I say still give it a shot if interested, as it is free. The game is niche, and I didn't fall in that niche fanbase, hence the reason the rating stayed 6 and not lower.
