I hope they take a different tack on that by the final release. Walking around a very smooth and modern-looking space station, only to look at a phone or object that is quite literally made out of large blocks is jarring. Well, they didn’t go away apparently this was an actual design choice for throwback purposes? For me, it kind of takes me out of the game. When I played the demo, I was kind of curious about some of the rough and pixelly textures I was seeing. They basically just do their thing until you hit them enough times and they die. You don’t really see a very good animation of your swing, nor do you see a proper animation of the thing that you’re hitting. Melee combat (which I was stuck with for the better part of the first hour) is very unsatisfying.

I played the junk out of SS2 and that is where the mystique of SS, in my mind at least, originates.Īnyway, notes about the Backer Beta after spending an hour and a half or so in the game: I have loaded up and tinkered around in both the original and the enhanced edition. If you didn’t catch the disclaimer in one of my previous posts, I never actually played through the first one. I can’t decide where to display them yet…with the rest of the game books on the bookcase in the living room, or on the shelf above our computer desks with all of my Funko Pops and figurines and stuff? Just occurred that I still assume that they WILL ship… Yesterday I got an e-mail letting me know that they are getting ready to ship those. What’s funny is that a week or so ago I told my wife that whatever happens, I’ll be happy as long as I get my metal box set and art book. And over the weekend I got the Backer Beta.
