The Alters looks amazing, and I can’t wait to play it myself.
Outbound is a cozy, open-world exploration game, but it also boasts basebuilding elements.
The Alters has drawn a fair amount of attention since it was first revealed, and I can see why.
The game is built around collaboration and exploration, with a non-linear story urging players on.
I’m glad co-op isn’t dead.
It’s definitely not your traditional base format.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
You’ll have to strategically fill this space with everything you need to survive, kind of like a massively expanded Fallout Shelter.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
The Alters isn’t purely a strategy basebuilding game, though, with a lot of different gameplay elements.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
The narrative aspect is most important, though, with the Alters you choose and how you interact with them influencing the branching story as you progress.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
You’ll have to juggle a lot to outlast this hellish landscape, but it may be worth the journey.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
I was only given one screenshot of Winter Burrow from the new event, and it’s… Not the most exciting, heh.
This is definitely a big departure from what I’ve seen of the first Moonlighter.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
Moonlighter 2 is combining some of the most addictive genres into one.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
With massively improved visuals and gameplay, this could be a real time sink for a lot of people.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
I’m definitely intrigued, but it’s the fluidity and flexibility of combat that makes or break a dungeon-crawler like this.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
From what I’ve seen, Moonlighter 2 may nail it — I’ll just have to wait and see for myself.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
I’m especially intrigued by the prospect of running my own shop outside of battling monsters and searching for new loot.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
This is one game to look out for, I think.(Image credit: 11 Bit Studios)
You can’t make a cozy, open-world exploration game without making it pretty, and Outbound nailed that.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
I didn’t learn much about how Outbound will encourage you to explore, but doing it in a camper sounds interesting, at least.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
I assume some kind of magic is being used to condense all of this into something that can fit on top of a camper while traveling.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
Oh well, I won’t be thinking about it much while wandering around.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
I saw a lot of different tools and options during my preview, so hopefully Outbound allows for lots of player freedom.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
We’ll also be able to customize our camper, and the developers are apparently looking into adding different kinds of vehicles.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
Being able to play with friends could be the killer feature that puts Outbound on a lot of players' radar.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
I wonder just how big you can make these camps.(Image credit: Square Glade Games)
Being able to explore such beautiful landscapes as a mouse certainly possesses its own charm.(Image credit: Knights Peak)
There are plenty of promising games harmed by lackluster platforming, though, so I hope Hela can deliver something fun.(Image credit: Knights Peak)
I’m not sure why you have a froggy backpack that also allows you to grapple and rappel, but it is cute.(Image credit: Knights Peak)
I better be able to play that violin.(Image credit: Knights Peak)
Hela also lets you play with friends, so it could make for a very interesting co-op game.(Image credit: Knights Peak)
