Tartarus shows off some excellent puzzles aboard a disappointingly empty spaceship, but it’s usually more charming than frustrating.
"Tartarus" is a single-player Science Fiction Hack and Slash game set in a terrifyingly dark sci-fi universe in 2230. As Cooper, a cook and miner, you must hack the ship's systems via terminals using realistically simulated commands to prevent the ship from crashing into Neptune. Despite its unique atmosphere and exceptional visuals, the game is marred by horrible gameplay and numerous bugs.

68%Tartarus Review - In Space, Nobody Can Hear You Code
Tartarus' few good ideas are outweighed by the frustrating puzzle design and lackluster plot, giving you little reason to keep playing.
