I wish I could get into Heat Signature. I bought a copy, but somehow it's languishing in time spent compared to previous games like FTL and Into the Breach, I feel like it's a bit more frenetic in action compared to these (noted that it's a bit unfair to compare with Into the Breach and Jupiter Hell, which are turn-based) Is there something I'm missing about the game play?
