They try to eat each other a lot, and they fight and hunt. It’s even worse in combat.Īnimals don’t just forage and glide places. It also rigidly moves back to its favoured bad position no matter how much you try to move it. It’s no help during climbing or gliding, constantly deciding to sweep back to a position that does nothing to help you aim, or sweep in far too close. The camera pivots all over, unable to pick a spot and stick to it. I would say, don’t even get me started on the camera, but this is a review so I have to go there. You then launch at that angle and keep the same strange trajectory when you start to glide. But it’s not fine when you are even slightly tilted on the branch, as will happen 90% of the time. That’s fine if you are upright on a branch. When you launch, the controls also launch you straight up from your position. A simple jump and second press of the button will start your glide, but aiming sensitivity is high and it’s very easy to misalign your attempts, landing you on the ground, lunch for an alligator or wolf.

When the game does decide to take to the air in scripted moments, either catching wind currents down a waterfall or hopping from tree to tree in frustrating stealth sections, it’s universally unwieldy to control. It just never coalesces into something that’s actually nice to watch.Ĭonsidering it’s a game about sugar gliders, you’ll spend a lot of your time on the ground.

The flora on display also looks very basic, circa PS3 era at best. The sugar glider’s walk, the way they don’t quite touch the ground, the way they walk through plants constantly rather than bend or brush them, the way their tails stick out rigidly instead of flowing and curling. Look at a still frame and everything seems to be in order, but it’s when it’s animated that this goes a little awry.

Neither hunger or health are tied to stamina, making them little more than ‘realistic’ annoyances.Īway The Survival Series both looks amazing, and really janky, all at once. Fight a spider and you can eat them to get a little screen-blurring acid-trip for your sugar glider. I am told this is being patched, but I have not seen any changes at time of writing.Īs the title may alude to, Away The Survival Series is a survival game, and though it’s a very simple mechanic compared to some in the genre these days, you do have to maintain health and hunger levels throughout – mostly by eating mushrooms, or the odd insect you catch.

I got up to three sound bites all playing at once at one point. I don’t know if it was just me moving too fast, but the narrator also constantly cut himself off, or talked over himself. It’s really only there for atmosphere and the odd directional clue. Mostly it’s benign, but sometimes it was downright annoying, and often pointless. But is that a good thing? Within moments I was reminded of the irritating constant presence of the narrator in Biomutant (do animal games have to be narrated?). What story there is, is centred around following in the wake of this vulture, testing your newfound abilities, and hopefully being reunited with your family.ĪWAY is narrated throughout, in a halfway to David Attenborough style. What starts as a young joey’s first forays away from the nest, learning to jump and hunt for himself, takes a horrible turn when his father is swept away in a storm, and his mother is taken by a vulture. Enter the Sugar Glider, the subject of this week’s Planet Earth. Into the evolutionary breach have come small mammals and insects, inheriting our planet and surviving where we couldn’t. Some creatures, however, were very resilient. More on that in a moment.Įarth, many years from now – storms ravage the land and humans are long gone. It’s short and sweet at around 4 hours for the story mode (and that’s if you die a lot like I did), and maybe an hour in Exploration mode.

It’s a third-person action-adventure, but not as we know them.ĪWAY The Survival Series, to give it its full title, is a nature documentary in game form. Away The Survival Series is trying to fit that niche.įraming itself as a David Attenborough nature documentary, AWAY puts you in the tiny paws of a Sugar Glider, trying to run, jump, glide and survive in a world that has long since ousted its human inhabitants. I mean a real animal, doing real animal stuff, moving around as a real animal would. Not an anthropomorphised bipedal animal in a human frame, shooting things. It’s rare enough that we get games where the setup is to legitimately play as an animal.
