Cubic Odyssey may well be the most ambitious game in the latest Steam Next Fest. The latest from developer Atypical Games, which has dabbled in open-world survival craft before, Cubic Odyssey promises "an open-world adventure where you explore vibrant planets, craft tools, build vehicles, and fight the Red Darkness." The result, based on the game's Steam Next Fest demo, feels like Minecraft spliced with No Man's Sky, shooting for "RPG-style depth."
This is the kind of game pitch that might get you laughed out of some rooms, but as impossibly over-scoped as that sounds on paper, the demo feels pretty grounded so far – and pretty darn good, too.
