The Forever Winter, which has launched in early access today, is a grim dark take on the PvE extraction shooter.
I’m pretty sold on the art style and premise, but will be holding off until a little later to play the game as it looks pretty rough around the edges.
Has anyone played / is planning to play this game?
I’m in the same boat. The water based upkeep mechanic seems punishing, especially for time starved / more casual gamers.
I do think it’s very on theme with the game, I hope that they’ll tweak it over time - something interesting could be adding a way for more active players to contribute surplus water to a shared supply.
If they manage to tidy the game up and fix some of the glaring issues I’d likely still give it a try even with the water “feature”.
Does the mechanic turn you off the game completely?
