Railgods of Hysterra was something I had been looking forward too since it first popped across my screen, as someone who is always looking for a co-op game for me and my friends we we're stoked for its release and just like many games it seems its always early access but hopeful we still booted it up.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 135 sampled reviews raised it
8/10 Game- especially for an indie game- I would suggest it for anyone who likes adventure/exploration co-ops with a strong focus on narrative theme and crafting.
