I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my “I got the Phoenix” world tour and handed him to the Shek.
Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I’m assuming that’s just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I’ll still have gotten my money’s worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.
Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It’s just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)
Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is possibly my new favorite 3D platformer. Definitely in the top 3. You play as a wind-up taxi and there is tons of movement tech. You mostly gain height by boosting off of ramps, but there is more that you learn to do.
But you do gain skills by learning. Within the first 5 minutes you technically have every tool you will ever get, you just don’t know how yet. In the style of Tunic, etc.
And there are only 3 buttons + directions, aside from pause button.
