Star Trek: Outposts Unknown review round-up: cosy Starfleet colony with downtime

PC · Release 20.10.2026 · Magic Fuel Games

Warm Star Trek feel with fitting music
Likeable crew with specialist roles
Sluggish pace with a lot of waiting
Less depth than genre greats like RimWorld

Beyond These Stars review: a city on the back of a space whale

PC · Release 16.10.2026 · Balancing Monkey Games (Hooded Horse)

The successor to Before We Leave is out as version 1.0. Reviews praise its interlocking systems and calm mood – but newcomers may struggle.

Cosy city-building on a space whale
Travel to new planets via a star map
Steep learning curve – not for beginners
Too few prompts and too little information
