The real fun that Main Assembly offers is playing around with builds in sandbox mode to see what crazy contraptions you can come up with, as well as seeing what other types of vehicles everyone else has made. With Main Assembly, however, I’m able to throw in some sexy curves and even build things with rounded edges, thanks to the ability to manipulate the physical appearance of whatever your building. It’s SUPER fun – don’t get me wrong – but the end result, however, is typically a boxy-looking vehicle. In Trailmakers, it feels as though you’re given LEGOs and are tasked with building whatever vehicle you want. However, what Main Assembly does is allow the player to really get in there and craft the shape of their vehicles instead of using blocks and more cookie-cutter options (which is what Trailmakers does). On one hand, yes, you’re given tools to build vehicles with to your heart’s content with the same general idea and gameplay mechanics. Now, before I go any further here, I should note that it sounds quite a bit similar to Flashbulb Games’ Trailmakers, and in reality, it both is and isn’t like Trailmakers. You can build bikes, planes, jets, race cars, monster trucks, trains, and even something akin to that spider vehicle from Wild Wild West. You can add thrust with boosters and jet engines, you can add hover pads, you can add lights, and you can add springs and other dohickeys.
You start out by building your vehicle’s chassis, then expand from there by adding things like wheels, engines, and eventually, propellers. But for me, I love to pay attention to the smaller titles and upcoming Early Access games, as they tend to be a bit more creative and loaded with new ideas.Įnter Bad Yolk Games‘ first published game, Main Assembly, a game that allows you to build pretty much any vehicle you can conjure up in that brain of yours. In 2020, that includes games like The Last of Us Part II, Ghosts of Tsushima, and whatever the hell the next Call of Duty game ends up being called.
You know, every list of the most anticipated upcoming games is loaded with AAA titles featuring heavyweight games that are potential GOTY contenders before they even release. *Update 7/8/20: We’re now a month after Main Assembly’s launch, and we’re ready to slap an Early Access Review score on it after spending over 80 hours in-game to date.
