The Real Review

Starship Theory, a ship-building survival game from Reconnect Software, is widely seen as a failure that didn't deliver. The core gameplay loop of mining, building, and managing crew is criticized as grindy and poorly balanced, and many feel it offers terrible value. Technical problems are a consistent complaint, with performance issues and bugs frequently mentioned, especially on Mac and Linux. While a few players loved the ship-building concept, the overwhelmingly negative talk about the developer suggests a loss of trust and an abandoned project.
