Oddly enough, I didn't notice any similar issues with the Tywom. Also, I stayed up way past my bedtime laughing at all the little jokes and references in the dialogues. But I'm not sure that counts as a criticism of the game ;)
Brief bit of feedback, and sorry it's a complaint. On the initial briefing with the commander, and she manages to land right in uncanny valley. Her animations are quite good, which unfortunately highlights where they don't quite fit. body language, posture, etc are mostly very convincing mouth sync just doesn't quite work. Her cheeks occasionally contract overly deeply when speaking (see 'w' sounds as her mouth purses), and her mouth doesn't seem t
Changed resolution to 3840x2160 and restarted with just the TT mouse. Working now. That makes no sense to me, but go figure. (Side issue: it would be really appreciated if running the game in the default resolution didn't rearrange all the browser / discord / GOG windows on my desktop) Edit: Before starting, I also turned off virus scanning and disabled the local firewall. No idea if that would make a difference. So there are 3 t
Ok, that is really funky. I plugged in a logitech M90 mouse, loaded the game, and rather than a spinning blue wheel I got a mouse cursor plus spinning blue wheel. When the cut-scene started, I moved my original mouse and got a yellow triangle mouse cursor, and was able to hit escape and jump straight to the main menu. I then unplugged the Logitech mouse and the main mouse continued to work. Main mouse is a Thermaltake TTesports Challenger Prime RGB. I updated

More info: On initial load, the game spends a long time on the splash screen with the "blue circle" cursor before the movie starts By alt-tabbing after the main game screen came up, I managed to get into a situation where Star Control is running in a corner of my display and I can still see the rest of the display. When I move my cursor into the star control "window" it turns into a blue circle again. I think the blue circle gets hidden in fullscreen mode.
Downloaded game from GoG, run game, watch intro movie, get to opening game screen. No mouse cursor. At all. Alt-tab out of game, quit from taskbar, restart Watch intro movie again (can't escape out of it, apparently) Back to game screen - no mouse cursor. All other games / apps work fine. What gives?

My experience from SC-II was that planets were mostly for resource gathering and occasionally for plot. Resource gathering had an interesting progression. Early in the game, I wanted as many resources as I could get my hands on (which was not always a lot given the lack of robustness of my landers and the presence of hostile aliens). At some point, I had enough resources, and planetary explanation was mostly about harvesting critters. And then I max-ed out the Melnor
