Sky Break Review - Steam Gameplay
70Hello Ladies and Gents! FyreNyxie Here!
So far this is just an okay game but it has a really good foundation and concept to build on. I'm giving it a 3/5, it's still in early access and a work in progress but I can see it becoming a good game.
Humanity is threatened by a virus and you have to travel to the planet Arcania where some of the flora may be able to save mankind. The planet has been abandoned since the working drones turned against humans. You crash land and have to find the others. During your search you gather plants and resources to do some crafting and improve your station.
Within the last month in a half or so I've seen a couple updates that have fixed things that seriously annoyed me. The lightning was the worst thing EVER! It did not act like lightning and instead followed you in a chain of about 6 lightning strikes. They have changed it to where lightning strikes randomly and not in chains so if you get out of it's way your safe. Thank you, thank you, thank you. They also made the haze in between the tempest and your weather controlled areas thinner and the fog less thick and less blue so you can see where you're going better.
In one of the last updates they changed the drones to look more animal-like which is nice since there's a little more variety in how they look and how they attack. You are also able to tame some of the drones now which is cool. However, they took out the working drones so the story makes less sense. The story doesn't seem to be complete yet so hopefully that'll become clearer in later updates.
Some of the controls are kinda funky and the interface could use some work. Being able to see the names of items and maybe a short description when you hover over them would be great. Since it's in early access your bound to come across some bugs. Some are kind of amusing, like leaves fluttering through my station above the clouds, and others are annoying, like my equipped items saying their equipped after I collect them off of my dead body but not being visible on my hotbar (Unequipping one item and re-equipping it seems to make all of them visible again). I would recommend getting the game to support the developers or if it's on sale because it looks promising, but it's just not there yet.
Have Fun Gamers!
