Game Bytes:
- Deep Dive: So the game came out back in 2017 and I guess did OK for a bit…before falling into some type of rut. There was a lot of back and forth over updates, the developer would disappear & reappear, etc. Then it basically flat lined for quite a while-until Feb of 2022. Now it’s under new management and will, in theory, be moving forward with updates, content and the works.
My Thoughts
I haven’t picked up the game as of yet, so no personal feedback on that front. And it’s honestly hard to get a good read on the game through Steam reviews, as it’s been flooded with folks leaving negative feedback because of the abandonment. If you check the Steam discussion boards and their Discord, you do see that those who play are (mostly) fans of the game.
I’ll withhold my Yay/Neigh vote until I’ve played!
