I\u2019ve always believed in second chances, both for people and for games, and few feel more deserving of a second shot at life than Worlds Adrift<\/a>, Bossa\u2019s ill-fated sky-pirate MMO. Despite impressive physics, grappling hooks and wingsuits, its heavy PvP focus turned off a lot of people, and in turn, Bossa turned off the servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Out now in early access on Steam, Lost Skies<\/a> is a smaller-scale PvE-centric reboot for the game. Most of the trappings are still there\u2014including the highly customizable airships\u2014but this time round, players are working together to fight against invading aliens and robots instead of each other.<\/p>\n

While survival\/crafting sandboxes aren\u2019t usually my thing, I\u2019m tempted to give Lost Skies a shot, because I\u2019m a sucker for sky-island adventure settings. Sailing through the clouds and exploring strange structures visible on the far horizon is inherently exciting stuff. The game\u2019s store page also emphasises that it\u2019s possible to enjoy Lost Skies entirely solo, though it\u2019s almost undoubtedly better in co-op. Surprisingly, there\u2019s no PvP options at all here, not even a casual duelling mode. A bold decision, considering its roots.<\/p>\n
