Presently accessible in early entry, at this time’s ‘Overlord Replace’ for Bootstrap Island introduces a number of main modifications. Most distinguished is the ‘Darkish Lair’ space that is dwelling to a formidable large ape identified solely because the Jungle Overlord that is out to kill you. Different additions embody a day counter, food-spoiling mechanics, and boots that improve your strolling and working velocity.

We loved Bootstrap Island throughout our Gamescom 2024 hands-on, the place we praised its “intuitive” gameplay programs. Whereas we famous there weren’t many issues you could possibly do but as an early entry sport, we believed that “this survival sport feels for what VR is greatest at: placing you and your two arms into a brand new world.”
