SOLAR ASH UPDATE FULL
Rani and her partner discover an untouched planet full of valuable resources. You play as Rani, a space hauler looking to make any money she can. And they’ve allowed me to enjoy open-world games in a way that I haven’t been able to with a lot of big-budget stuff in recent years.The Gunk is a new game from the developers of the award-winning SteamWorld franchise from Image & Form Games, developed by Thunderful.

In order to upgrade Rei’s health in Solar Ash, you need to talk to Cyd who will always be on one of the game’s numerous checkpoints. And as I played Heart Machine and Annapurna Interactive’s Solar Ash over the past few days, those notes devolved into a list of ways the game resembles another Annapurna game: The Pathless.īoth are open-world games on a budget, prioritizing platforming challenges and fast, smooth movement over combat and custom story missions.
