Bounty Star
Release Date: TBD
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC
I did not like Bounty Star at all for the first eight minutes or so, which involved a tutorial of walking around a ranch following glowing markers and making items like I was trapped inside a survival crafting sim. Then I got into an actual mech and fought through my first mission and fell in love with the crunchy robot combat. Getting hit felt a little wishy-washy and there’s a lot of room to improve on the overall look and level of polish, but I could definitely see getting hooked on a Borderlands-style loot loop of blowing up bandits and customizing my mech. — Ethan
