Galactic Hero Agency: Mind Matters (PC) Preview

Space-based action games are almost as old as the medium itself, yet it is only in recent times that some complicated gravitation-based titles have been produced that fully explore what it is actually like being in space. Even then, though, to this day these titles are few and far between. The latest in the line of fixed gravity adventures, Galactic Hero Agency: Mind Matters, seems to have hit the nail on the head perfectly with regards to how the concept can be used for pure, unadulterated entertainment purposes.

Even though what has currently been shown is a very short one-stage demo, it shows exactly what Bind aims to do: create an enjoyable arena where large rock formations and their gravity are playmates for gamers. There is an exhilarating and 'free' feeling when jumping around in the endless space from asteroid to asteroid, shooting enemies and completing the tasks at hand. While it is far from flawless in this pre-alpha state, it shows a lot of promise, and after working through to the end of this taster, what is left behind is a desire for more of the same.
