gave this a try and essentially had a fight with the design system to build a simple RC vehicle that didnt look like a tube with wheels, it is unintuitive and reacts strangely to attempts to make things moe complex than that.

for example the RC car I attempted to make.
it took me googling to find out I had to place a micro chip onto the original control box to then select it, go to properties and change it to the primary to then get the ability to delete the original control box. after that setting the chip to "rover" mode set it at a vertical plane making anything attaching to it stick out at 90 degrees. adding a simple structural plate (to save weight over a cylindrical fuel tank) could only go at certain attachment points in weird locations and restricted in shape. adding batteries were equally frustrating as their size determined their power (good idea) but this often ment they engulfed the object they were attached too. when it came down to wheels, the tutorial says mirror it to automatically pair them together this only works if you havent modified orientation of practically anything as it will either mirror in the wrong direction (often inside of another wheel) or delete the part out right. this doesnt even account for the fact that by default reshaping or scaling a part does it side or corner by corner resulting in making a simple box larger a multi part process.

overall it was just a frustrating experience for what is ment to be a relaxing game.

at the time of writing ive been enjoying the game immensely its got the Borderlands chaos mixed with a good blend of humour and a world i want to explore more of.

granted UE5 has its issues with the shader compilations and the need for hardware less than 5 years old, this to be expected any modern game. However, ive seen it run on an Nvidia 2000 series with no issue. likely most of the complaints come from running the game on HDDs or trying to extract next gen graphics from several generations old hardware. ive read comments that the game dosnt get above 60fps but in my own personal opinion i font think thats needed as you wouldn't notice much of a change anyway, so chasing the goal of 60+ is wasting processing power that could be used to set other settings higher.

that aside its the characters are fun, the world map is huge and the gun play and skill sets are more of what you expect from the series. i'm looking forward to unravelling the secrets of the time keeper and see whats to come later in the game

Super Giant creates another great game, this time its more of a rouge like with a decent story centred around theses game play elements. Their in house music writer strikes again with another beautiful sound track

Fun little game i discovered though a free Android release, its a blend of factorio and tower defence games that tickles the itch for TD games while adding more depth than just slap down towers everywhere.

Either way i fully enjoyed the Android app so wanted to support the creator while getting a more developed version of the game.

Whats better than space ninjas?

this game, while having some level of grinding for new gear, is fun to pick up and put down at any time. the instanced based missions and fluid movement and combat mechanics make it fun to just kick back and relax while taking down hordes of grineer.

Asteroids and other arcade classics meets a music visualizer whats not too love.

tidy and reprogramable controls
use your own music with little difficulty

not for the photo-sensative

Great visuals, Amazing music and the smooth voice of the narrator from Bastion. Transistor is a lovely game to play with some mildly repetative combat that you have to keep fresh through challenges or swapping attacks for different ones. Its very easy to find a combo you like and stick with it but its still intreresting to improve or reinvent that style.
