Been playing for the last month - it's an awesome game, how come it wasn't lauded with fanfare and trumpets by the community?!

Who's got "Musk blackmailed by Russia" on their bingo card?

Sure - the story is built around 4 characters - 4 teens, basically miniaturized to an ant's size, must navigate a backyard filled with dangers, craft tools, and find a way to return to normal size.

The multiplayer element is integrated by allowing up to four players to team up and work together in real-time to explore, fight enemies, and complete story objectives, fostering cooperation in survival and discovery.

When you connect to the game you select one of the 4 teens as your avatar - only esthetics and voice impact, no material change - and the game is well balanced so it's feasible whether you're 1, 2, 3 or 4 players joining...

I hope they inspired themselves from how Grounded integrated multiplayer, sandbox world building and storytelling together

I hope they use the Grounded formula for multiplayer and bases, that was super well integrated!

Except it's disproportionately killing those producing the least amount of global warming - I've yet to hear of a billionaire killed by global warming.

Whenever the plot entirely revolves on avoidable misunderstandings from character that nothing in the story prevents from having a clarifying chat. It's weak storytelling.

Also whenever the characters don't react to enormous thing A because advancing the story requires them to immediately ask about thing B.

Lastly whenever you end up screaming at the tv "you have enough clues to call for backup" or "enough reason to worry to call 911" yet they proceed alone. Bad writing.

Incidentally, "youngest person to insert a thing" is a slippery slope and a great way to end up on a list. Shit.

In photography classes we were told 105 is the most commonly used for portraits, but that was 20+ years ago, dunno if "common wisdom" changed since...

Well it makes sense if you think of it as a guide of "places worth driving to "
