The open world game Ashen popped up on Rock, Paper, Shotgun, via my RSS feed. Even with just a quick read of the article and a scout of their website, I’m easily captivated by the mix of DayZ and Journey. Much like Gang Beasts before it, the art style is already amazing, even with placeholders. I think there’s a lot to be said in the defence of minimal art styles in games.
The Ashen website promises “open world”, “passive multiplayer”, “non-linear progression” and “high risk combat”, which are all things that sound exciting and Up My Street and My Bag so on.
