Faster Than Light (FTL) has the addictive charm that eats up 5 hours before you even realize it. Like all games of that nature, it’s about understanding the rules, finding them and turning them to your advantage. But even when you realize this, and you’ll become aware of the system that underpins the game quickly, FTL has so much charm that it hardly matters. It’s not a particularly large game, but there’s enough replay value that you’ll keep giving it one more shot until it’s 4 am and you’re still wide awake.
