Fans are absolutely loving a recent addition to PlayStation Plus, heaping praise onto a wonderful game.
Hardspace: Shipbreaker is much more fun than its summary makes out. You see, in this game it’s your job to break down spaceships into component parts and either scrap them or sell them. There will be some out there who love the sound of this, for the others, stick with me because I’m sure you’ll love it too.
A very relaxing game, Hardspace: Shipbreaker is worth trying on PlayStation Plus.

The main thing I’ve neglected to mention so far, you do all this scrapping in zero-G. That’s right, you’re floating around in space, moving around in three dimensions, getting yourself into position to use tools to break away parts of the ships. It’s a lot of fun and the gameplay loop of earning cash from these jobs and taking on bigger projects really scratches an itch you didn’t know you had.
Players over on Reddit are loving the game saying, “It takes the mundane relaxation of Powerwash Simulator and pairs it with a compelling world/story—all tied together with increasingly more complicated ships to manage and scrap.” They aren’t wrong. I started playing Hardspace: Shipbreaker when it was in early access on PC and have occasionally dipped in and out whenever I wanted to just float around and chill.
Another redditor says this in agreement, “This game is super zen. Love the country twang vibe as well.” While another chimes in with, “I am with you 100%. I am obsessed with this game.” Available on PlayStation Plus, you can try the game as a subscriber, and many players would encourage you to do so, like this person, “Once you unlock more upgrades, specifically explosive charges, things get wonderfully chaotic sometimes. Part of the fun is failing when it comes to certain things (engines, gaslines), and trying to recover.”
