Hubris

Proud in visuals, falls in action

- Alan wen

From the view you have of the Twin Planet system as you awaken from cryosleep to the moment you surface from the water after crash-landing, every attempt is made to wow you with Hubris’ visuals. Even its characters are impressive; you get to see some of their faces, including a hologram of your superior as they give you the mission to prove yourself to the Order Of Objectivity.

Think of the order as a secret service in space – it’s even called Triple-O for short. Your recruit is sent to a remote planet to find another missing agent. You’re joined by your ship’s pilot, a chirpy Australian called Lucia, though rather than tag along in person she accompanies you via a remote-controlled spherical drone, piping in to tell you what to do next.
