The inclusion of proximity voice chat, so you possibly can really get misplaced and have to search out one another utilizing instruments out there to you, is a pleasant contact.
The puzzles briefly proven off additionally really feel fantastic, and actually play on this communication-type of recreation the builders are attempting to craft. I’m sorry, I’m gushing now. It appears to be like like the proper recreation, and I need to get my palms on it as quickly as attainable. However in fact, I would like to attend till subsequent 12 months to lastly see if it lives as much as my anticipation.
After watching the trailer, I simply wanted an area to gush and discuss what I’ve seen in hopes another person will watch the trailer as effectively and suppose ‘that appears so cool!’
