  • The Orville: Interactive Fan Experience. /j

    But really though, The Orville show feels like a fantastic homage to classic Trek, and the show itself feels hopeful if that makes sense.

    Also the totally free fan game for it on steam is pretty cool. You can explore the entirety of The Orville ship, you can even fly it around different space areas AND you can take a shuttle out for a ride! There are a couple different “scenarios” you can play through such as enemies boarding the ship, and having to make repairs while you’re floating through a conscious nebula that’s talking to you and making horror movie stuff happen.

    Also there’s multiplayer, a holodeck with different places you can load up like a bowling alley, and you can customize your own crewmember.


















  • I played the demo/playtest and it was pretty cool. The physics-based building makes expanding your settlement a bit of a puzzle, especially paired with the resource management of researching new technologies and keeping your settlers fed and happy.

    I will say I think there should be difficulty settings or customization sliders. Towards the end of the demo it gets harder and harder to feed your growing population.

    ETA: resource building output needs to be increased as well. Raincatchers produce one unit of water every 2:30 minutes, only during a rainstorm that maybe lasts 5 minutes tops for a long one.
