RPGs are among the trickiest candidates for any kind of coverage where you can’t basically book a week off to do little else, but I’ve had my eye on Colony Ship for a while. After a too-soon dabble in early access, I was already intrigued by its setting. You’ll never guess.
It’s a welcome change from dusty radiation or goddamn elves again, and the RPG structure feels flexible and fairly responsive to your actions even before you start picking sides and ideologies. It hasn’t quite stolen my heart, but it may well steal some of my christmas.
