Picture a huge metal beast lumbering through the sand dunes. As it lifts its mechanical legs and places its heavy metal feet down, you probably wouldn't be surprised if it stumbled, lurched, or even got stuck here and there for a bit.
That's what's been happening with Sand: Raiders of Sophie, a PvPvE extraction shooter where you build and pilot giant walking mechanical bases, stomp around in the desert on an alien planet, and battle both other players and their own walking bases. It's taken quite a few missteps on the long, sandy path to launch.
