Review summary

Deep Space: First Contact™ offers a unique sci-fi horror experience with impressive visuals and atmosphere for an indie title. However, users are frustrated by poor controls, lack of saving, and unclear navigation due to no maps or objective indicators. The alien enemy relentlessly chases without options to hide, making the gameplay repetitive and sometimes impossible to advance. Audio and graphical issues also detract from the experience. Updates have improved some controls, but core issues like missing guidance and punishing restart mechanics remain.

Pros

Interesting and unique horror game concept with sci-fi ambience.
Graphics and visual effects are impressive for an indie game.
Game creates a spooky and terrifying atmosphere.
The game has a good vibe and draws inspiration from well-known horror titles like Dead Space.
The last update improved navigation controls, reducing lag and improving usability.

Cons

Controls are poor: sensitivity is clunky, jerky, locking up, and difficult to manage.
No save system; death forces a full restart, causing frustration.
Lack of guidance: no map, no objective markers, and confusing navigation leading to getting lost or going in circles.
Alien AI is frustrating: it relentlessly pursues the player without ability to hide or escape, making progression difficult or impossible.
Audio issues: flashlight turns off unexpectedly, irritating fixed-interval sounds, and crackling audio.
Game suffers from repetitive environments and downgraded graphics compared to trailers.

2023-05-23	Sh*****	Sensitivity while looking around is soo clanky and jerky there's no point of even playing. I've played free games which are a hell of a lot better than this.

2023-01-25	Da*****	Concept is good but not well thought out yet, there is no guidance or indicators to show you where to go for objectives, there is no hide or run mechanic or even hardly any warning that the alien is approaching. For the game to be better these need to be added.

2022-12-12	sh*****	Ok so it's an interesting concept for a horror game but the game's "alien" seeks out the player like a homing missile. There's no hiding mechanic. Also, there's no markers or guides that lead you to your next objective so you're mostly lost just dying to the alien over and over. I'd add a guidance system of some kind or at least make it to where you can hide from the alien in order to find what you're looking for.

2022-10-28	Me*****	This was something I looked forward to. But honestly I haven't been this let down in a long time. There is no saving, your character dies and just wakes up in the same spot with the alien in a seemingly new random location literally just outside the same room. You can't run. And the hideous sounds that play on a fixed interval is just awful. The controls are absolutely the worst. I can only compliment one thing about this game. And that is the superb graphics.

2022-05-11	Ch*****	Has a Dead Space vibe but seeing an alien is actually scary! Cool game I had fun. My flashlight ran out as my first alien appeared and I almost cried.

2022-05-06	Th*****	The short: This is a good game with minor flaws The long: (not that long tho) So it's a cool game and I can see that a lot of thought and care was put into it, but i just have some suggestions on how it can be improved. Flaws: think the monster just looks kinda goofy and not at all scary, and the last part was confusing because it said to wait for the escape ship but what you were actually supposed to do was get to the ship (i waited for a solid 7 min before just going to the ship).

2021-12-11	Ja*****	I couldn't tell you if this is a good game or not. Just went around in circles in "find the station control room". No map, no fun. Maybe it's me, but after 30 minutes of this, I just uninstalled.
