A friendlier, more sociable game about swashbuckling sky-ship crews
I’ve always believed in second chances, both for people and for games, and few feel more deserving of a second shot at life than Worlds Adrift, Bossa’s ill-fated sky-pirate MMO. Despite impressive physics, grappling hooks and wingsuits, its heavy PvP focus turned off a lot of people, and in turn, Bossa turned off the servers.
Out now in early access on Steam, Lost Skies is a smaller-scale PvE-centric reboot for the game. Most of the trappings are still there—including the highly customizable airships—but this time round, players are working together to fight against invading aliens and robots instead of each other.
While survival/crafting sandboxes aren’t usually my thing, I’m tempted to give Lost Skies a shot, because I’m a sucker for sky-island adventure settings. Sailing through the clouds and exploring strange structures visible on the far horizon is inherently exciting stuff.
