The Real Review

Starship Theory is a shipbuilding survival game, but players have largely soured on it, with many citing frustration over its high difficulty and poor performance. The core shipbuilding concept gets praised when it's mentioned, but that's buried under widespread complaints about clunky gameplay and a sense of poor value. The developer came up constantly in a very negative light, with players expressing deep dissatisfaction. It's a rough experience, even for fans of the genre on PC.
