Never heard of this game till now, but Abiotic Factor is a pretty cool game, it's a bit of a throwback to the 90's FPS games, specifically Half-Life, but it's more like, what if Half-Life 1 was a survival crafting game.  Visually it's got that lower poly/lower resolution textures, but not enough to be distracting like you are just playing an old game, and you basically are running around this huge, locked down, underground facility, gathering supplies to craft gear, tools, building up a place to use like a base, as you try to figure out how to progress further into the facility, dealing with alien or possibly multi-dimensional threats.  It's kinda funny to see that this is apparently an Unreal Engine 5 game, but it's very much trying to feel like an old Source engine game, as it gives off Voices of the Void vibes to me also.

Super engaging type of game for me and for those with other people that might be interested, you can play with up to like 6 other people too which is pretty cool.

Amid the large amounts of Abiotic Factor I played some of the demo/network test for Sonic Crossworlds and it's okay.  It seems better than the Team Sonic Racing game that I thought looked kinda middling, but it also didn't bring back the vibes of Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed for me.  Didn't find anything outright bad, though I felt like the bumping players and losing rings constantly was kinda annoying, felt off, though I haven't played a kart racer in awhile.  Not really sure about the game, I might just wait on a sale for it as I was kinda hoping I'd be into it more, but who knows, maybe I'll just wait on a sale.
