Abiotic Factor

Anyone else see this one?
I'm not far in, but so far it's got my attention.

It's EA, but it's entirely playable and getting Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.



I'm doing a single-player run, It's almost like a Half-Life/Sub-Nautica - with an interesting sense of humor.

It's also got a strong multi-player element, but I'll likely never experience it.

It looks interesting, although the retro textures are a huge turn-off for me. I don't want to party like it's 1997.

This is why I failed to click with play 7 days to die.

I can be turned off by graphics, but I also don't automatically prejudice a game based upon them (save for an eyesore of a game, of course). Graphically, this game isn't (opinion alert) all that horrible.



Is that really so bad? (click to embiggen)

7 Days doesn't bother me. It's got primitive geometry (intentionally), but the textures are clean. Intentional pre-3D accelerator style pixelation is a much bigger turn-off for me. It really bugged me on the System Shock remake as well, for instance.

And this is just my personal preference, not a condemnation of an art style.
