Exploration & Bounties [PART 2] - SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada (NT) (PS5)

Overall unique and asynchronous extraction shooter design! Only meant to play a while with the expectation that it'd just be a barebone demo but surprisingly found myself with plenty of interesting things to do... I decided I may as well thoroughly play this Network Test build. So, ended up 30+ hours later of what is presumably the very early game content at a level playing field before the fomo induced 7-day early access *digital deluxe preorder incentive of an already niche game... The only glaring flaws that may arise in this game at release is lategame retention and dwindling player interactivity. If the initial patience that may be needed didn't already drive some players away at first... Those PvE Bandits hardly want to socialize! Exploration sessions can take averages of 20mins and whole hours just to make progress (Hopefully just within the NetTest). Definitely not for those looking into a quick digestible gaming curve.
