Road Redemption

Hmm... Wow ok... They're deciding to fully release Road Redemption on October 4th. It still seems... quite not done. I mean, I finally got to try the Online a couple days ago, and it is pretty fun, though I'm not sure the player syncing was great. I hope bombs won't get too annoying. Interesting that kicking is much much slower online... to the point of uselessness.

The story mode however.... is I guess intentionally, very very oldschool feeling. You will not be getting through it until you play it a million times, die, and start over again with a long list of permanent upgrades. It also still has nothing in between that you'd expect from current games in terms of presentation. The intro story is right now literally a single page of text on a panning game scene of some wrecked vehicles.

Also, I hadn't liked/cared for what they did to the lighting recently, at least in the desert zone. It used to seem cartoony and fun, now it's kind of a post-apocalyptic orange and hugely changed the visual tone to bland, comparatively.
