Black Skylands Review (HUNTER1-0)

The game has a some radical changes from EA to full release that affected how well the game could have been
but i don't want to get into that now.

I think the game is just fine.

The combat and movement are fun and fluid. There are a large variety of weapons and most of them have tons of mods so you can choose your playstyle as you please. There is a stealth system but its barebones and I don't think you'll get much use out of it.

Human enemy variety is fine too. Nothing to write home about.

I haven't reached the Swarm bits yet so i won't talk about that.

What i think knocks it out of the park is the potential for worldbuilding. I quite like the world the devs have built. Many times, i'll be flying from one island to another and see a giant space beetle in the background and think, " what is it doing there? is it some kind of insect god that just exists in this world and does its own thing while the humans are no better than ants to it?". and other times you will see one of these giant insects enslaved by humans, tearing away at stone, possibly mining it. all this makes me want to know more about this world and play in it.

I think the devs have a solid base off of which to make their 2nd game should they so choose.
