Ooh that looks really interesting. Feels a bit like a single player Sea of Thieves maybe? Also 50% off right now on Steam... nice.
Wow... 1987! Shows that fun isn't necessarily about high end gfx :)
Ooh I didn't know about the peaceful servers. Might have to revisit that soon :)
"In a world where every breath you take might just be your last"...... oh dear.
I love to applaud creative ideas but this just looks like a shopping list of cliches.
Yet another post apocalyptic setting "Do you remember the forests?" ✅ Co-op in spacesuits ✅ Same goals as in a million other games "Build, research, survive, scavenge" ✅ Giant mutant bugs ✅ Writing cringe-fest: "Up here, we don't let the past become our prison" ✅
Just doesn't look fun at all. Hard pass.
Thank you so much to everyone who commented with suggestions! Some really surprising ones in there too that I'm very much looking forwards to playing soon. So far thanks to this post I've grabbed Heat Signature as well as Shady Part of Me and I'm replaying Dysmantle. I've also wishlisted Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal and will nab that the minute it goes on sale.
Edit: Ooh and I'm also looking forward to the release of Outworld Station on Tuesday. That looks like a really interesting top down, space station factory automation game :)
Wow, that looks amazing! and 85% off on Steam... Think I'll grab that right now :)
I enjoy watching people play manic shooters more than playing them myself. I just get overwhelmed really quickly by them.
This one feels a bit more like Risk in space and I never got on with Risk, or in fact any of the Civ series of games, which this also reminds me of a bit. I sort of meant top down in the Desperadoes 3 style but I'm totally open to other ideas :)
I'm not really into manic shooters but I do enjoy watching other people play them.
Oh I like that one, it's like a really colourful version of Power to the People.
Ooh Coral Island sounds interesting... Wishlisted! Thanks :)
