Really entertaining and beautifully rendered "Room series" style puzzle game. While puzzles are not particularly challenging, they are a joy to watch their unveiling. The creative themes are fresh and exciting, overall a superb chillax experience. Looking forward to more from this talented studio.

Excellent DLC - unique biomes, new wildlife, nice story (continues the story of characters introduced in the base game and prior DLC's), cool landmarks (the lighthouse and dam and two of my personal favorites). Looking forward to the next DLC!

This game is a hidden gem - very polished, addicting and beautifully presented.

Initial impressions are very positive. Compelling tactics and card mechanics mixed with sparkling animation effects make this game a joy for the mind and eyes. Current state of the game has a few placeholders, and some configuration screens show that this is still a work in progress, but none seem to hinder the core game. The mix of RPG character progression and story combined with card tactics make Trials a fun, unique experience. Recommended.

CGE has finally ported their highly popular and well received mobile digital board game translation of Galaxy Trucker to the PC. For those like me who have already been playing the mobile version for years, the PC version is a near exact translation. The only visual difference is the fact that the screen has been expanded to properly support landscape mode since the mobile version is locked into portrait mode. The platform CGE used for the PC port looks to be identical to the one they used for their other mobile to PC port, Through the Ages, since it offers the same single ability to tweak a single aspect of the screen resolution. That option is whether or not to run the game in full screen mode. Unfortunately, the release I played would not allow me to deselect the Fullscreen option so I had no choice but to play the game locked into full screen mode.

Since this is a direct port of an old game, I was slightly dismayed that CGE didn't improve the audio quality or sparkle up the animation effects for the PC release. Galaxy Trucker's graphic presentation pales in comparison to the Galaxy Trucker-inspired Space Run. At least CGE added support for Steam achievements instead of just their own internal game achievements in the mobile release, but no Steam trading cards from what I can tell.

As for the gameplay itself, if you played and enjoyed the mobile release and want to continue playing the game on your desktop PC or laptop, this is a no-brainer. The larger display of a desktop or laptop screen make spreading, sorting and selecting spaceship parts easier compared to the mobile version, especially due to using the laser precision of a mouse pointer instead of a big finger tapping on a small screen. Multiplayer is cross-platform providing a vibrant, established online community ready for a match. And since the Extended Edition contains all the IAP's that were released for the mobile version over the years, you get everything the game currently has to offer in a single package.

Ultimately, fans of the board game and mobile release will be satisfied with this competent, long-time-coming PC port. There are no surprises, but at least it runs flawlessly on minimal hardware specs. I had just as much fun playing it on PC that I do on mobile, as it's a good game regardless of the platform it runs on.

Delightful.

Excellent Puzzle Quest Action RPG mash-up game. Polished graphics, colorful presentation, good progression, it's all there. Nice work, Outsmart. Keep up the great work!
