Spaceslog Beta Review

Spaceslog is an upcoming space colony simulator, set to release in 2026, from Produno Games Studios. They were kind enough to send me a beta of the game. The game is set to release into early access on April 3rd.

If you have ever played games like RimWorld, you are familiar with the general concept of how the game is played. You make a few characters with different stats and personalities, and you build your ship. You set areas for cooking or storage and build sleeping areas and what have you. This game does nothing to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. It does, however, give you a new setting to play a genre many of us love.

The setting works out well, but more importantly, for those in the beta, the game has gotten consistent updates. I had a few complaints as I was making notes for my review about things like the pathfinding, but that has been taken care of in a recent fix. Trying to play with a controller gave me issues at first so I didn’t bother. It turns out there was an issue with using a controller if Steam was already running, but the controller wasn’t launched VIA Steam, and that was also taken care of. The game also works pretty well with an Xbox controller, tho I do prefer it with a mouse and keyboard, admittedly.

I’m not going to give this game a score, as I am only playing a beta that won’t be released for several months. The state it’s in is very much playable, and with the amount of updates they are putting out, I am pretty confident that come its April launch, we are looking at a solid title worth keeping an eye on for fans of the genre. It may not ever be equal to Rimworld, but it is shaping up to be a nice alternative. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
