Full Review:
Although Ionized Games received a negative recommendation from the review, it was a close-run thing. If this team can increase it’s communication about the game, where it’s going and the milestones to get there, it could easily tip into a positive recommendation.
What’s your opinion? Do Ionized deserve a Positive recommendation based on their great community interaction, or should their lack of progress and information about what the final game will be override that?

Can I just say thank you for starting something like this. As a person who is more a fan of the developers then sometimes the game themselves. Great to get a better look at how well they are actually doing.
I played this game for a little bit, but found myself zoning out a lot and gettin bored. The word seemed interesting but I guess not playing with VR made it all appear rather dull.
Thanks Dalton 🙂 Figured as an ex dev on an early access game I might be able to offer an insight into great devs that folks should consider supporting.
