ECHO POINT NOVA

One man's update is another man's free expansion.

Echo Point Nova has become a quiet obsession among PC Gamer's FPS-likers. It's an incredibly imaginative, gripping shooter, one that combines some of the best FPS movement mechanics of recent years - grappling hooks, wallrunning, double jumping - with an innovation all its own: replacing your sprint with a rad as hell hoverboard that can send you careening around arenas like no other shooter out there.

It’s also a real people’s champion, both as a project from a small team punching well above its weight, and as a £21 product that the devs at Greylock Studio won't stop adding new, free stuff to. This crescendoed back in August with a free expansion pack Under the Clouds that adds a second campaign to the game

‘Campaign’ might not be the right word -
