On the bright side, it's a good opportunity to play Dishonored 2.

Mooncrash is meant to be replayable, and as long as you set some self-imposed limits (on created time delays at the very least) it never stops being fun. This last run I've consistently failed to find the delay schematic, so I've beefed up the engineer real good and have her churn out a bunch of reverse-engineered time delays and those are it for that run. Drop em out near the entrance. Now if they just cut out the volunteer / engineer tutorial in new games...

I enjoyed the first one, but I thought Dishonored 2 was so much better and at least a couple of the levels (A Crack in the Slab and The Clockwork Mansion) were just incredible. Also just finished Mooncrash. Goddamn that was fun, I can't wait to see what Arkane does next.

The Dishonored games and Prey are easily the best games of the last few years. They are incredibly well designed and Arkane has basically a blank check from me now, I’m bound to be interested in whatever they’re making.

Im was still wary whether or not I should purchase Mooncrash but I enjoyed the campaign so might as well play more Prey. Waiting for discounts on RE7 and TEW2 but that might take a while.

Played dishonored 1 and 2,m. No dlcs because well... Art and game design is great! My complaint with dishonored is the characters. Can’t get into em. I don’t love the hero’s and I don’t hate the villains, I don’t even feel ambiguous about the ambiguous ones. Prey was much better in this regard, for me.

Prey was unusually fantastic at getting me to care about posthumous characters. The old doctor fighting dementia by creating memory-simulations in his room, Danielle and Amy's back and forth...

Just got Prey from the Steam Sale and having a blast. As a scaredy cat I am fixing turrets and lugging them around with me wherever I go. IT WORKS OKAY Question: Can I save crew members that get killed in front of me? I can't tell if these are scripted or not. I found two so far: - A botany area I'm waiting for the doors to open he gets killed by a Mimic and 4 more pop out. - A quarantined guy who was apparently mind controlled and his head got popped when I went into the room. I'm preeeeeetty sure this one can be saved. Btw the emails about the Boltcaster have been so fun to read.

The second one can be saved by knocking him out with the stungun or hitting him with mind control before he explodes, like all mind-controlled crewmembers.

A full escape attempt only makes it more vital, since you absolutely have to repair the mimic portal in Pytheas Labs, and quite likely the MoonWorks mass driver's ground-floor lift too.

Yeah, you definitely don't need to repair that lift. Even having an Artax glide kit can get you over the jump.

You don't even need that, just run up the stairs and glide over the gaps. Then on the way back down vault the railing, fall down and use the jetpack to land softly. If the jetpack weren't available to all characters repairs and gloo would get a lot more important.

WELP just found a good reason why maybe the engineer shouldn't always go first. It's possible for the mimic portal room's door to be unpowered, meaning the only one who can open it is the security chief with Leverage III. So it's not a complete waste of neuromods after all! Hooray!

That's cos the power is down to the whole sector. You can solve that in the Crater command centre.

I would generally start full escape runs with Vijay, since he's the human equivalent of a Moonshark/Nightmare to the Typhon

So I just found out that Phantoms respawn. Or maybe spawn randomly. Turned the corner before they started muttering to themselves.

Perhaps the repair too, I always did engineer first so no idea

Having a recipe for the pink hourglass is an odd decision. I did the escape with all 5 people in a run so I just have the plot quests left to do. All of it was just running around at corruption level 1 because I could start every character with a huge pile of hourglasses and then print several more, so several characters were just a clear run to the end with no danger. I think they tried to balance it out by having corruption go up faster, but I think I'd rather just not have those speed increases and no hourglass recipe in the game. I basically haven't used the volunteer or the hacker at all besides running to an escape. I was kind of surprised how little there was to the mimic gate as well. For being the most surreal escape I was expecting it to be different than just having to walk the engineer and the hacker into pytheas labs at some point, and then you go in and you're done.

Up to the end, that escalating danger is nice and tense, but for the final mission, getting out with ALL 5 survivors within 5 corruption stages, only relying on the hourglasses that drop (so, about 3 on average?), would be annoying as gently caress, and I would have quit after a couple of tries. It's just kind of not enough time imo.

It's just kind of not enough time imo. I did my all 5 run before I found the plans for the hourglass and was too dumb to think about reverse-engineering it. It got to 4 corruption. It's plenty doable.

Escaping is honestly pretty quick and easy once you've done each path once. The only slow run is the engineer. Restore power, maybe tram service, fix the pod and portal, load up the mass driver with supplies and then every other run is just a beeline to your chosen escape route. If you concentrate on just escaping as quickly as possible rather than scouring for all the resources you can get, it goes plenty fast.
