You are Space Engineers sent from Moon Base to the Flagship Discovery to answer a distress call sent out when power to the ship was lost during a voyage. The ship passed through what appeared to be a meteor storm before soon after losing all contact with base control. The only information we have is that the ship holds priceless fuel rods which are vital for future missions. Flagship Discovery is rapidly breaking down and you need to collect as many fuel rods as you can while limited oxygen is left on the ship.

This is a game split into two halves. However it's simply a case of get to 30 minutes and walk into the second half. That takes a way a huge amount of the satisfaction of unlocking areas.

Lots and lots (40) of small puzzles. None of them are particularly exciting. 

Find the code or little puzzle, struggle because numbers are worn and it's dark, get another item.

Usually we play as a 2, but we played this as a 4 and think we might have struggled as a 2 in the collector part of the game as it's very nonlinear. One puzzle is annoying due to the tech, but apart from that the room looks great and the puzzles were interesting.

Pretty dated room. Lots to do but no ‘wow’ moments whatsoever. Waited quite sometime when requesting a clue.

The other game we’d come to Lucardo to play on this occasion was Space Evader. This spaceship game is not about saving the space craft but rather scavenging all the fuel rods you can from it, in another variable score room with a highly parallel structure. In this game each puzzle resolves to a numeric code which you must enter into the correct keypad; finding the right keypad could be a recipe for frustration, but each is marked with a symbol that matches it to the relevant puzzle, and in almos...
