Owlcat Games hasn't shied away from the fact that The Expanse: Osiris Reborn looks and feels a lot like BioWare's Mass Effect series, and after going through the upcoming action RPG's closed beta, we can confirm it really feels like an evolution of those games in a more grounded setting. During the recent Q&A preview session we were able to attend, game design director Leonid Rastorguev didn't ignore such comparisons and instead fully embraced them:
"Obviously, we've played Mass Effect, we love it, most of the team does, and it was an inspiration for the game, but still the game is an Owlcat game in terms of narrative, the choices, the mechanical systems, the combat systems..." After a 50-minute run with the agile closed-beta demo, it's easy to see what he means.
