RymdResa is a space odyssey, a journey through the vast cosmos undertaken by a lone astronaut who lost his home planet to an asteroid. Resources are scarce and a few coordinates is all that he has. His goal and therefore yours is to find a new place to call a home.

The game does not offer much vis à vis gameplay in fact there is no combat. Instead, the main focus is exploration. From the haunting fact that is the infinite universe in which you are thrown to the mechanics, exploration is incentivized. The cosmos of RymdResa is colorful and filled with interesting things to see. In addition to the main objectives that obviously differ from chapter to chapter which amount to a total of three you can investigate various sites ranging from planets to abandoned satellites, collect items which you can use to upgrade your ship and research new tech for the same purpose. Some interesting encounters with boss-like entities and peculiar sites are part of the package.

Rather than investing in depth, RymdResa embraces the poetic side of itself via a brilliant combination of quasi minimalist art, well written text and great music. Rather than being a game about combat in space and killing aliens, it is a mesmerizing meander through space. Serene and relaxing yet it manages to convey solitude, desperation and melancholy.

Conclusion: RymdResa provides an amazing experience and is definitely worth your time if meandering through a vast cosmos is a thing that you crave.
