The reviews look pretty mixed so far but I enjoyed the demo so picked it up anyway.

Nice! I must have missed that the release date was coming up, I didn't have any time set aside to play it yet. Oh well, I'll give it a try sometime!
I just realized we never got an episode of Voyager where they couldn’t raise the nacelles.
Just got the email about the demo. Going to try it out on my Steam deck this afternoon.
Sounds good! I'm still at work for quite a while today, but hopefully I have enough time to get it downloaded and try it this evening.
So far it runs great on steam deck.
That's an easy install from me. Should be fun!
I finished the demo last night, there is a keep playing option. However i had collected all of the dueterium and ran out of power.
Is it pretty good? I started another project while I waited for it to download last night, and I was having fun with that instead!
Looks like you replied while I was typing up my very basic review. https://slrpnk.net/comment/18568356
The good:
- you get to play as Janeway and crew making decisions for Voyager.
The bad:
- The demo at least is 1:1 the first episode of Voyager
- UI not yet optimized for Steam Deck (you cannot move the cursor to UI elements to see what things are)
- When using the touchscreen of the Steam Deck the game switches from controller mode to M/K mode and does not always switch back
Hopefully the full version is much more open than this was.
Well hopefully they get some of that ironed out by launch! Presumably the story will branch out more once you make a few major decisions, but maybe it'll end up following the show and be more linear than I expected. I wonder if they'll support mods, that's usually something that can give a game a lot more replayability!
I've only played the demo like you and had the same experience. I liked it alright enough, I enjoy fallout shelter and this definitely has the same vibe. I don't think the game is worth the price right now, I just can't see it having the staying power I would want out of it. But I'll certainly pick it up on sale.
I'm waiting to see a few more reviews. Like you I played the demo and had similar thoughts. My primary worry is that nothing has changed between demo and release... Hope it isn't the case because with just some little tweaks, it could be great.
I think the price feels a little steep, even with the launch sale. But if it is legitimately good and not borked or undercooked, I could still see grabbing it.
