Today we will look at the good and the bad of the game Heat Signature.

Wikipedia:
Heat Signature is an action and stealth video game played from a top-down view. Players take control of a team of space mercenaries who embarks on a variety of missions such as hijacking space vessels, stealing technology, assassinating ship captains, rescuing captives, and more. Operating from a central base, the team takes on missions that typically require the player to fly the mercanary via a small shuttlecraft to a travelling ship, dock with it, and then infiltrate the ship and return to home base safely. The ultimate goal is to take control of all the bases in a four-armed nebula. The layouts of the nebula, the ships, their crew, and missions are procedurally generated.[2]

Normally, the game operates in real time. At any time, the player can pause the game, which then provides a menu screen that provides additional options for the player to perform, such as switching weapons, picking up or dropping inventory items, or taking remote control of the shuttle, as well as to plan their next move, such as selecting a target for their attack. This can be done indefinitely, allowing for stunts such as picking up the weapon of a fallen enemy, equipping it, and using it against another target all while in this pause screen.
