7/10 I Hardspace: Shipbreaker A deep space shipbreaking simulator for PS5 with a mellow feel and a satirical edge, that’s only let down by a gameplay loop that eventually gets a little too repetitive 🎮
Consensus suggests we’re living through the latter stages of capitalism’s current arc. Rebuilding Europe after World War 2 fostered a spirit of everyone being in it together, whereas the end of the 20th century felt more like everyone for themselves. Hardspace: Shipbreaker takes the premise that this process continues to accelerate, concentrating obscene wealth into the hands of a vanishingly small number of people, while everyone else struggles just to make ends meet.
Your job at Lynx is to space walk out to the hulks of abandoned spaceships and use a laser cutter to chop them up for scrap. Computers, electronics, and furniture are high value junk that needs to be deposited in a barge, while aluminium and useful metals get sent to the processor, leaving the flotsam and jetsam to be fired into the incinerator. You’re paid to get the right spaceship parts in the right bins. Mess it up and you’ll be fined.
Once outside the ‘hab’ where you live, you use a jetpack to fly over to the inert hull of the spaceship you’re working on, where you set about dismantling it panel by panel. To start with ships are simple hunks of metal waiting for you and your laser torch to dismember them, but as you gain experience, increasing your shipbreaker’s licence level, you’ll be offered ships that are bigger, more complicated, and considerably more dangerous.
