Sir, You Are Being Hunted has been flushed out of hiding; here’s our Sir, You Are Being Hunted review.
Big Robot’s survival game is coming along hugely with each passing update. The last added tons of new objects to the game and added functionality to a lot that were already in there. This latest release adds a whole new biome and two new enemies. There are also fixes, balances, and other tweaks, too.
The Industrial biome goes alongside the rustic village, fens, and mountain biomes already offered in the game. Centred around a canal, the challenge presented by this biome will be the lack of natural cover. Instead, with more buildings than the other biomes, you’ll be working your way through red brick streets, dodging marauding robotic gentry. The smog should provide a little cover but it will also hinder your own vision.
Big Robot have remained deliberately coy about how the Scarecrow and Bog Creature will attack you but I’d guess the bog creature will harass you if you stray too near a shoreline.
It’s a minor change but my favourite change from the below list is the ability to shoot out the hot air balloon’s spotlight. I tried to down the airship a number of times in the past and it was frustrating that you couldn’t score any kind of hit on the machine.
Unfortunately, this udpdate will break any saves you had going.
