Obsidian Games isn’t best known for its zany sense of humor, or multiplayer-centric action games, but they released one this year anyway, and while it’s still in early access, there’s a lot of promise here.
Players are shrunk down to the size of ants, and must survive in the back yard. That means using whatever you can find among the towering blades of grass to craft weapons, tools and shelter, while also keeping your hunger and thirst gauges nice and full by pilfering whatever scraps you can find.
The story content is a little light at the moment, and all of the systems can take a little bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, backyard survival’s a blast. Get some friends together and put on your best trainers, it’s time to take the fight to the insects!
