Anyone try the From Other Suns open beta this past weekend? Seems well made for a small studio, but like most VR games it suffers from a lack of depth and content, and tries to compensate for it by including multiplayer (always struck me as a bad idea considering the small VR player base.) Neat Serenity-like ship to walk around, but nothing really to do unless you need to repair something. The gunplay was pretty bland, and it’s easy to abuse doors against AI. I like the concept though, and it’d be nice for them to do well and maybe flesh out the skeleton in a sequel.

Started this up at the weekend and did a few jumps. Yet to get any ship to ship combat, other than the tutorial, but it’s basically FTL with multiplayer FPS combat as far as I can tell. Seems like a cool idea, and I love that it gives you the option of free locomotion.
