Ars Co-op Gaming Night Revival - Saturdays @ 9pm EST

IT WAS THE WRONG WEEK

7 Days to Die just came out of early access. Not sure I'll be around Sat night, but that's definitely something to revisit.

Edit: And this month's Humble Monthly comes with both Risk of Rain 2 and Empyrion for $12, both of which we played a few times and quite a few times respectively.

I'll be around this weekend and, as per usual, would be up for pretty much anything.

I have been meaning to try out Empyrion again since it left Early Access, and I've also never tried it co-op. A long time ago, in its earlier EA days, I had built out a nice sized base with a farm. Then, on the other size of the farm, I built a hanger and a connecting skyway that went over the farm back to the main base. I had also built a custom small ship and a larger "capital ship" that stayed in orbit, used the smaller ship to shuttle between the surface and the cap. And that all was pretty early on in the EA process...

There's also Raft. I looked it up after our last session, and we've got two story islands left, so about one night's worth and we're done.

So Sunkenland looks like Raft on steroids, except without the raft. Kinda. EA at the moment, but one to keep an eye on?

Own it (ok, I might have a problem...). Another one I need to load up again and try out. It was a bit bare-bones when I first played it 6-ish months ago but looks like there have been a number updates since then. Impression was Raft with a dash Subnautica meets Kevin Costner's Waterworld. What stood out with this one is that there are towns and cities that have been submerged underwater, making exploration a bit more interesting. There were also weird zombie-like things that'd occasionally come out at night and attack you.

...can I eat them, or set them on fire?

... I'm not sure. One came knocking on my makeshift shed one night and I just hit it over the head with a stick. The stick, unfortunately, was not on fire at the time of the smiting.
