What players think
The recurring themes across 152 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The core gameplay is gloriously enjoyable in its simplicity but the Dawn Star was headed in a fantastic direction.
It feels like a remastered version of Farb’s original vision for the games with updated sound, music and clean, optimized visuals.
(Recommended soundtrack with game - Singularity by Jon Hopkins.)
On top of these there's Captain Together, a build of Captain Successor with local multiplayer, as well as the recently added Captain Forever Universe, a new in-development game that tries to turn the forumla into a bonafide space RPG.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
