Earth Analog Review

Earth Analog is a flying adventure where you take control of the exploration vessel Eurisko XI in a quest through deep space to find our new home. Unlike other space games, the focus is on the experience of other worlds rather than battling death and enemies.

You perform light maintenance on your ship while traveling through mysterious and dangerous worlds. The main game play is learning to steer and pilot your ship (with its atmospheric and newtonian flight model) to explore distant systems, mine for resources and upgrading your ships systems.

"Ever since the day I watched Interstellar I wanted to create a space sim game that captures that sense of mystery and excitement," says the developer and the game certainly achieves this. Earth Analog is a relaxing game, with the occasional tense moments. The planet environments and inutitive piloting make for a tranquil and meditative ride. Add to this the vast universe to explore and an intriguing story and you have an unusual game.
