The extent of my interest in survival crafting is the 117 seconds of this trailer
Graham said to me earlier today, “you’ve got a real soft spot for chintzy big swing fantasy”, and what can I say? The man is correct. Hence, though I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in open world survival crafting games like yerValheimsand what have you, I cocked my head like a dazzled magpie at theGamescomrelease date trailer forNightingale. It’s the chintzy big swing fantasy (okay, Victoriana urban fantasy but it still counts) coming from Aaryn Flynn-founded studio Inflexion Games. And it’s coming to an early access releasenear youon February 22nd next year.
Look I know it has flying umbrellas and airships and waistcoats, and really I should hate it, but also you can build a villa on the shores of a blue lake, surrounded by red and white trees. There are monsters that look like a dinosaur fucked an elephant, and others that look like VanderMeer specials, and there are big lovely giants who sort of look pleased to see you. And others that look veryangryto see you.
