Space Age: A Cosmic Adventure

Holy Space is this game frustrating. I want to love it - the graphics, story and heart are all there. It's just infuriating. I quit at level four after a dozen tries. The controls, mechanics and interface are opaque; I have no idea what to do or how to figure it out. I also apparently won some sort of medal for level three that is also inexplicable. Buy this if you're a good gamer with a high tolerance for frustration, a masochist or curious about what's buzz worthy in 2017.

Confused as to why this is so highly rated and awarded Editor's Choice... It's not much of a game. It's mostly just watching dialogue. No, I didn't get that far into it because if a game starts off with 10 of your first 15 minutes watching characters talk, that's not a great game no matter how you slice it, regardless of how much setup you need for your story. Bummer, because it seemed like it had promise.

Entertaining story with great sense of humor. “Fog of war” mechanism is clever and adds to your experience as a “space explorer.” Gameplay is challenging, requiring lots of trial and error to find the correct way to complete each stage, but was never frustrating. Visually appealing retro graphics, music wonderful with headphones. Highly recommend!

Don't listen to the whiny negative reviews. This game is a great adventure game. There were a few difficult places that took many tries, but I got through it eventually. Look forward to the next one.

Very exciting game
