My Thoughts
Arid is a small, desert based (open world) survival game made by students from Breda University. They basically made it as a school project, so it became a completed project when it entered full release on Steam.
I’d give this title a YAY just for being free, but bonus points in that it’s also gorgeous, engaging, and a damn solid experience for a team of students. Go check it out!
