About
A minimal, atmospheric space survival & exploration game, set to deep ambient music. Pilot the last vessel of a fallen civilization into the vast unknown, in search of a new habitable world. Carefully land on the planets you will encounter to gather terraforming resources and space-faring human survivors for the final destination... skillful piloting and the balanced management of fuel, oxygen & hull integrity are key.

- 8.0Last Horizon is a great little mellow but not really mellow space adventure that reminds me a little bit of Out There if it was more arcade-y and less simulation-y. That is to say I really like it, though it can certainly be frustrating at times. Still, it sort of comes with the terraforming territory.
- Unfortunately, bugs hold it back from its full potential at point in time. The void is filled with asteroids and other cosmic hazards, aliens wander between planets, the sun is not only burning hot, but in possession of a worryingly strong gravity well, and stray comets briefly light up the sky. The quest to find and create a new homeworld has plenty of room for disaster to strike, but it’s also a lovely journey through a vibrant night sky.
- 8.0Really, Last Horizon is a victory for smart design and presentation. Pixeljam took a very simple and classic idea of controlling a ship with spin-and-thrust controls, and by applying a particular structure around the game with its goals, theme, and art (the music sets the atmosphere fantastically), they've made something that's compelling.
- 9.0If you are up for a space survival game that requires patience, skill, and precision, then make sure to check this game out.
- Last Horizon mischia con ottimi risultati elementi appartenenti alla tradizione videoludica e idee nuove, supportando il tutto con una realizzazione grafica semplice ma di grande impatto. Nulla può evitare una certa ripetitività di fondo ma certo Last Horizon fa veramente di tutto per risultare qualcosa di più di una semplice pressione alternata su dei tasti, riuscendo alla fine a garantire un'esperienza originale.
