It's EGX 2019 weekend! Over the next few days we'll be bringing you quickfire impressions of some of the highlights from the show floor here at London's ExCel centre. You'll find them all here - and if there's anything out there you want to bring to our attention let us know!
I want to scoop every piece of rubbish from Flotsam's debris-filled ocean. I can't do much about the very real Great Pacific Garbage Patch (other than keep telling people no, crisp packets are not foil and not recyclable) but I can mark out floating reefs of virtual scrap for my team of collectors to swim out and gather up.
There's another reason to nab Flotsam's ocean salvage, of course, beyond the environmental. Like any other settlement simulation, your floating home needs resources - and these come from the waters around you, be it floating plastic or schools of fish. There are hints to Flotsom's ocean landscape being a kind of Waterworld view of a very wet future, but its visual style and brilliant azure sea bring its feel much closer to Wind Waker.
