Boiling Steam ☛ Necesse: Some Early Impressions
I can’t say I’ve ever taken too much to survival open-world and similar type games, though I’ve given them some chances: I’ve played a little of Terraria, a bit more of Starbound, had fun in some Valheim co-op, and just finished up a co-op run of Grounded. I do get the appeal of them, even if none have truly captured me. So, how does Necesse, this new indie survival/action/management/etc. making waves, do? I certainly see a lot to like, even if it hasn’t quickly enchanted me like so many other people from its 6 years of Early Access to its October 1.0 release. I’m not sure how much of my feelings is Necesse itself, really, or the type of game player I (usually) am. A description of all that Necesse offers would take up too much space, which already is a selling point here.
