Laserpitium Review (PlayStation 5)

For this Laserpitium Review, we enter the world where it is 2357, and leaders of the galaxy S-08G signed a peace and cooperation treaty. In order to optimize the management of goods, the control of military forces, and the well-being of the population, the computer program EVA was created on the artificial planet HELOS. A few years later, the EVA program’s governance caused social unrest across the galaxy. Military forces, now fully automated, directly attacked any attempt at rebellion.

• Only local leaderboards.
• Cannot rebind controls.
• The ship choices are just cosmetic.

• Difficult but in a cheap way.
• No real difference in the weapons.
• Enemies all act and look the same.
• Doesn’t use a name entry for the leaderboards.
