Introducing Haberdasher's Reviews, the review stream by Rabid Haberdashery! This episode was all about Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a science fiction game with a fondness for compound words and the morality of Elon Musk, about work as a space ship scrapper in Earth orbit deep in a dystopian setting. Hardspace: Shipbreaker was developed by Blackbird Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment, and originally released in 2020. I accessed it through XBox Game Pass.
Summary: The game was fun, but repetitive. The puzzle aspect, being that you have to sort out the best way to dismantle the ship without losing credits, is a fun mechanic but doesn't appear to have much longevity since figuring out one ship looks to carry over to other ships of the same design. The motion in space was easier to catch onto than expected, and provided an enjoyable freedom of movement that felt like how I suspect space would actually feel. Overall, I think this game will be fun to come back to time and again, but not for long sessions of play and probably not for an incredibly long time.
Overall Rating: 7/10 Hats

Options include video games, mobile games, movies, shows, or anything else you want my opinion on (I'll figure out how to approach the stream aspect). Remember that if what you request will cost me money to access, there may be a delay in how quickly I review it unless you can somehow provide access to it.
