The developer’s website tells you how many bursts of laughter there has been in the office, which is akin to the “you don’t have to be mad to work here” office signs that I hope are no longer made. The official page for the game is a screen-killing shade of green. Combined with the trailer, I’m saying that it’s definitely going to be try-too-hard on the humour front.
Elsewhere, the most detailed description I’ve seen is ‘upbeat first person adventure’. So, survival crafting with sub-Pratchett jokes.
Ancestors looks a fucking shocker. My wife snorted at the Hello Games title despite probably being the target audience - shall has had enough of cutey adventure puzzles and thought it just stole a bunch of tropes from others. She shrugged at Marvel UA but I am keen. She was all in for the new Supergiant game - I really liked her summary - "every game has got me playing a new genre - bastion, diablo, transistor, turn based, pyre, sports, so why not?"
So I'm fucking fucked. I don't want to play any games , I'm unsure in their purpose. Fuck videogames if they can't help normal people . Back to work on monday. I hate it.
Yeah, looks like it's a standard mod, so PC only. There's a smaller $40 version too. I assume there's going to be a digital version for a slightly more sensible price.
