Here we have another game that can be summed up in a single word: YIKES! It's cute that Sun Blast's store description not only has the gall to claim that it was inspired by Star Fox, Space Harrier, and Panzer Dragoon, but it also says that it's "the best 3d space shooter on Steam".

I really went into this game wanting to like it. It has decent graphics and a really beautiful soundtrack. I liked that, as a shooter, it was a FPP instead of the general side-scroller or top down choices offered by most games of this genre. It made it a unique playing experience from the getgo. However, I had not played long before I discovered that this was a gimmick driven shooter. The gimmick: make the ship...
