Rather than the deluge of Mountain Dew and Doritos filled Bro-filled shooters available for every console, Adr1ft aims to be everything Alien:Isolation was not. Rather than a horror-survival sim everyone expected A:I to be it still contained many action sequences that put a gun in your hand and told you to shoot your way out of a situation rather than building up the tension as Alien did. Adr1ft aims to change that by presenting space as it really is; A horrifying void of death and silence.

You start of in the shoes of a cosmonaut staring across space at the stars and of course the debris of your newly destroyed space station, this visually stunning opener is quickly forgotten as you make your way to the bulk of your once safe home through the eerily silent void of space with a pinch of dead friends scattered along the way. With the lack of communication and setup in play during the first few minutes of this game, it looks as if 505games have put a lot of effort into making this a proper FPX (First person experience) without the compulsive need to put a gun in your hand and slaughter waves of seemingly endless grunts.

The Aim of Adr1ft is to make it back to the surface in you EEV ( Emergency Escape Vehicle) While collecting canisters of oxygen scattered around to supplement your rapidly deteriorating supply in your broken EVA (Extravehicular activity) suit. All this combined with the eerie soundtrack should make for a powerfully frightening puzzle adventure game with the enough tension to keep you on the edge of your seats at all time.

Hopefully the visuals and soundtrack aren't there to distract from a lack of substance a large portion of games released onto next gen consoles seem be suffering with at the moment.

In USBB you have more range than up and down. You have full 360 degree movement along with the classic fighting power move. I'm not going to say this game is easy, though the more I played the game the more I felt like Esports master.

The game has ten characters to choose from, all with different stats and abilities. Just like Street Fighter, every character has a backstory on why they are at USBB which gives the player that desire to win to see the outcome of each character. You will not get bored trying to master your favorite few, or the whole roster.

I've seen USBB on sale a few times over the summer, so you might want to put this on your wish list for that next time you are looking for a fun game to play that may become the next Mario Tennis Aces killer.

The most striking change lies in the sheer variety planets will now exhibit. New technology facilitates a vast spectrum of biomes, encompassing everything from frigid wastelands to verdant paradises and scorching deserts. Oceans receive a significant overhaul as well, boasting dynamic waves, realistic reflections, and a wider range of colors and environmental conditions. Underwater exploration is further enhanced by improved water physics and jetpack effects, while the ability to land directly on water opens entirely new avenues for discovery.

But the update goes far beyond aesthetics. A vibrant tapestry of new flora and fauna populates these transformed worlds. The developers hint at encountering nightmarish "biological horrors" and fascinating plant-animal hybrids alongside more familiar creatures. Adventurers will have a broader array of tools at their disposal, including the ability to craft new starships for deeper exploration, enhanced armor for tougher encounters, and even the chance to concoct new culinary delights to fuel their cosmic journeys.

Planetary environments now pulsate with life thanks to the implementation of dynamic weather effects. Wind patterns and intense storms create a truly immersive experience, with colossal waves reacting in real-time to the weather conditions raging above. Cloud formations are rendered in stunning detail thanks to new cloud technology, further enhancing the visual spectacle and accurately reflecting weather patterns."Worlds Part I" also introduces a brand new Expedition mode, offering a community-driven experience inspired by the classic sci-fi film Starship Troopers. This mode functions as a guided tour of the update's highlights, allowing players to experience the breadth of new content and gameplay possibilities offered by "Worlds Part I."

With this landmark update, No Man's Sky continues its remarkable evolution, presenting players with a universe reborn. Both veteran explorers and newcomers alike have a compelling reason to return and lose themselves in the limitless possibilities of this revitalized cosmos.
