We spent a chunk of the weekend--okay, okay, all day Sunday-- playing Myth of Empires. This is an early-access open-world survival crafting base-building sandbox game, which is my jam.
It's set in 3rd century China, which is refreshingly different. Horses are a big thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHI21W6MNyA
The UX is an unfinished mess with hilarious machine translation everywhere, but the meat of the game is solid. If you like this sort of thing, you'll like MoE.
If you aren't sure it's your jam, here's ESO's livestream from character creation on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7-2eCnyx-E
We're enjoying Myth of Empires, which is a post-Han-Dynasty-collapse open-world base-building survival crafting conquest game (yikes! buzzwords!) that's like ARK & Conan Exiles got together and had a baby. Kinda. We've just moved into making things with iron.
