Just played a little bit of a early access game called Jump Space, any of y’all looking for a co-op space game might find it fun. It’s 1-4 player co-op where you have a hangar as a base in between missions, where you select stuff on a galactic map kinda like Helldivers, different missions like salvage runs or raiding cargo ships or whatnot.

Then you all get into a ship and take off, one person flying while the rest can run around or man various stations. The pilot can see your silhouettes as you run around inside the ship, which is kinda cool. The others will have various tasks like putting out fires, recharging ablative shielding with craftable armor kits, trying to pry off explosive mines if they latch on to the ship, stuff like that.

There’s a lot of on-foot sections where you basically eject from your ship through a tube (or use an air lock, but like, why not just use the tube dawg) and then fly over to a platform or asteroid or something and fight robots and collect materials and what-not. It seems like there’s kind of a loot system since you’ll find crates with guns and such that I assume have different qualities since Mk1 implies the presence of a Mk2 etc

The plot is basically galactic humanity is on the losing end of a Butlerian Jihad where a computer virus corrupted all machinery and they’ve gotten very close to wiping out all human life. But then you crash on an asteroid and find an old busted up ship with an AI helmsman core inside of it that claims to be uncorrupted and, through dialogue, implies itself to be extremely ancient (it ponders whether humanity’s technological regression has made them vulnerable to this virus, which it also implies it’s seen before)

idk I’ve only done one mission loop with my partner and now she’s gotta go do a thing but aside from MAKING ME FUCKING DIZZY it seems like a fun game some of y’all might like, it’s at least worth watching a video about if it sounds interesting imo
