This weekend is to relax a little more than last weekend. I’m not saying we should just collapse on our couches and breathe long, relieved sighs, but maybe we can breathe a little easier. Maybe play some video games. Maybe even video games in space.
Ever played a space video game? Ever played two space video games? I try to translate these opening sentences smartly Everspace 2 pun, but it just doesn’t come together for me. No doubt my editor, probably John Walker, will offer to help shape the pun into something workable, but I will decline, as I’d rather shoot and mine in space. Everspace 2, available now in early access on Steam, has all the shooting, mining and exploration activities I crave in my space games, without hurting my head as a space MMO EVE Online. I like to fly around without having to do math. Or at least do math of my choice, not related at all to a player-led economy or a complex skills training system. I pull the trigger, the ship goes boom. Hoera!
So, what are YOU playing this weekend? Yes, you, with the physical form.
