The plus side is that it's on steep discount until it disappears, so consider nabbing it.

Sucks to see 'Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock' getting delisted in a week. It's a genuinely great "we go" space strategy game, and we'll worth your time.

I always felt that their previous missile-age sim, 'Cold Waters', frustratingly hinted at complex systems happening above the water, and you never really got to see them as you were stuck with the limited information your submarine had access to. 'Sea Power' feels like a unveiling of those systems.

What that means is that you can dive into it without having to read a 200 page manual like you did with the old
Sonalysts sims from the mid-2000s. It's still punishingly difficult in places, but it feels like that because of you making mistakes rather than battling the controls or camera.

This may have been triggered by me picking up the early access release of 'Sea Power', which I am loving so far. It's a real love letter to ships, and it hits the right balance of complexity in its simulation but with a fairly intuitive interface and good tutorials, something the genre often lacks.
