I'm Talen! I make videos and articles and games and graphic designs and guides and messes and encouragement. Chances are you can find anything I do on my blog. I like it when you comment on my things, so please do!

It's really good in terms of mechanics and gameplay aesthetics, and the characters certainly are lovable, but... it does feel a little shallow in some places. Ships feel too similar, and the narrative, as you said, is sort of a mixed bag.
Visually and functionally though, it's fantastic. I really hope a better version of this comes along someday.
Fuck all possible criticism, tearing apart spaceships gives me the good brain feelings, game of the year.
Its story is the most West Wing liberalism shit dressed up as this big labor story, it's so utterly perfect
the gameplay is fresh and pleasing if a little repetitive after a while but yeah, as others have noted, the story is tame and shallow -- it means well but doesn't accomplish much.
i looked pretty hard, including on the dude's medium, but i cannot find anything about the three games about america thing and i am dying to know
Maybe he should have written it as a game about America, those are in such short supply.
