Developer: System Era Softworks Publisher: System Era Softworks 25 Hours Played // Review Copy Provided // $29.99 What is Astroneer? Born out of an early alpha sandbox game, Astroneer is an open-world survival game where you can explore 7 wildly different planets all the way from the tippy tops of the mountains to the deep and secretive central cores.

In the same way that the jail Marchen’s feed upon entrapped living souls, so too will Mary Skelter 2 on your sanity. This is never entirely a bad thing, video games are rarely all bad, but persevering through this game does come at a cost. I really did enjoy my 20+ hours with Mary Skelter 2, but with an extremely slow sense of progression and penchant for getting lost, I steadily grew angrier and angrier.
