Alright. So I've decided out of boredom, that im going to review byond games. I'll start with this game- Now, this one's a personal favorite.
Space station 13, Yes, you can find the hub here

Now, this game has its ups and downs.
It's fun, the game has a few realistic features to it, alright. What I like most about the game, is probably the general gameplay. Humans tend to have a natural lust for violence, so playing Space Sation 13, running around making a bomb and trying to blow up a ship, or taking the captain of the ship, stealing his ID, shoving him in a locker and welding it shut, and then pretending to be him is always fun. Now, the graphics of this game aren't what makes it great, but they are clean, simple, and decent, and you can recognize things when you see them.
Now, probably one of the biggest enforced thing in this game is Roleplaying. Most people who play this game roleplay.. And its pretty fun, too. Although sometimes, you get on a server and you die for no reason. Thats called greifing. If some random person starts the game, logs in, and then goes and kills every member on the ship, they would get punished. If the person logged in at the very begginning of the game, and the mode of the game was.. say.. 'Traitor', then it would be ok if you killed every person in the ship... But not without roleplaying. A good traitor usually pretends to be part of the crew, and steals identities of other crew members.
I personally hate greifers.
A few downsides to this game would be things like, This game was obviously not made for 4.0.
See, using 4.0 to play some games is ok... But I dislike the blurriness of icons when playing, so I change the icon type to 32x32 and turn OpenGL off. But when I do that on this game, Every action that changes the graphics aside from moving around causes a quick black flash before the action. Now thats a downside.
Another downside would be some gameplay. Like for example, it gets somewhat confusing trying to do things like putting a weapon in your pocket.
When I first played, I always came into the game late, and I wondered why I couldn't put items into my pocket. The reason for that was because I didn't know how to put on my jumpsuit.
And another thing about the game is the fact that you automatically start out as 'Walking' each round. And every person who likes the game and plays it changes their moving to Running at the start of the game. Now, the gameplay is confusing if you have no idea what you're doing, but if you learn a few basic things you catch on very quickly and the game becomes easier.
Overall, I give this game a 7.5 out of 10, Its a great game with nice gameplay, If you haven't played it you should go try it out, and ask people for help if you need it.
