Good write-ups. Had a peek at Dark Train and Glitchspace and they seem interesting.

I can't recommend
Glitchspace, but, then again, I dislike most platformers. I got it because I was at a stage where I wanted to check out how programming/hacking was done in different games, and, from that point of view, Glitchspace filled its purpose, but, as a game, it wasn't my thing. My dislike for platformers might be because I'm bad at them, but a good platformer, in my opinion, is one that makes me want to push through and improve. I have played like a handful that manages this (and even made me enjoy them), but Glitchspace was not one of them; the "hacking" part was not enough and there are also far superior games for that.
Dark Train, on the other hand, is a game I can really recommend. A very specific part of it was like trying to eat soup with a perfectly good spoon, but where the spoon always insisted on pointing the wrong end towards the soup no matter how I tried forcing it not to, but the game, as a whole, perfectly made up for that and made me want to learn all the tricks and overcome the challenges. I was also surprised at how much exploration it offered. ((

By the way, what's that other side-scroller game where you also manage a large vehicle with many rooms hidden inside? I think the vehicle was like a ship (instead of a train), maybe a side-wheeler, but wasn't always in water.

Far Sail was like that, but not at the scale you're suggesting (except at one point it kind of is, but even then you're probably not talking about just that one part).

Don't mind me, I'm just dusting off the ol' backlogging thread. I got a pile of games I've been meaning to play accumulating over the last few years. Let's see...
on Steam:
Heaven's Vault
Human Resource Machine
Kerbal Space Program
Kingdom: New Lands
Prison Architecht
Robin Hood
Shenmue I
Take On Mars
Tanglewood
on Epic:
F.I.S.T.
LEGO: Builder's Journey
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair
Everything
and I can't play these unless someone is watching! Hence this thread. Ok, so I'm gonna play at least 1 of these a week, for at least 1 hour, and then decide their FATE. Think I'll start with Kerbal Space Program. Been waiting so long to play that one the sequel's already coming out.

Kerbal Space Program
I went to spaaaaace! Well, almost. I went to suborbit. This is a cool game, but y'know, as much as I like piloting big unweildy vehicles, I don't really like building them.
FATE: Think I'm done with this.

It's going to take you a while, if you're going to play Everything on Epic.

I may have bit of more than I can chew with that one, nevertheless I will do it. I will play EVERYTHING! :I

Everything
Ok I played it. Pretty trippy! Honestly, I didn't even play 1 hour of it, felt like I'd had my fill after 38 min. It's cool, but I feel like I'd need to be on drugs to truly appreciate this.
FATE: Done with it!
