I really liked the aesathetic of the original launch. I liked that it looked kind of open world with bosses. The original trailer showed, I think, a big spider robot and the player jumping off a trampoline (am I remembering right?) to get above the thing while fighting. Overall it looked cool, but I wasn't sure what the gameplay loop as going to be. Switching to an extraction shooter gives the game a known loop to build off of, but my worry is it'll be a much slower and less action-packed game, and will lose some of the fun mechanics in place of a more tactical survival experience. Hopefully it works out, but I liked the original concept.

Looks like it's going to be baking for at least another year or so. Maybe Spring 2026.
Looks interesting though. a PVP style destiny open world?
It's like Escape From Tarkov, but sci-fi and third person.
Says 2025. They just did a playtest in September or October, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got released not long from now in early access.
Yeah, the art direction is excellent!
UE games from the X360 era were relatively easy to differentiate from the rest. The games and art style were similar to some extent to Gears of War games and they used the technologies of those, I mean, they didn't use the eDRAM for AA and they featured MSAAx2, and so on.

That's not art style though. Too Human was an early "high profile" title on UE and it looked very much not like Gears.
I tried it. This game would look amazing, but currently the native resolution on consoles is only 1080p and it's like they currently don't even use FSR because the image quality is soft... But the graphics, animation and lighting effects are absolutely the best.
It needs better upscaling!
The gameplay is excellent!

I didn't get into the technical test. Kind of a bummer. Was hoping to have a chance to play it. The game honestly looks very polished. Surprised it's not releasing until the fall.
If I get the two codes I can give you one.
The codes require playing 4 runs in game, I'll do it tonight.
