Main Assembly is an amazing innovative sandbox developed by Bad Yolk Games which guarantees an exceptional dose of fun to anyone who lends itself to us: it is a universe in which it is possible to give full rein to one's creativity, creating models of machines, robot or even exploiting the advanced physics ofaerodynamics! In addition to this it is possible to choose whether to face the adventures in solitaria or group of friendsif needed.
Use your imagination!
Let's start from the beginning: Main Assembly is suitable for a general public and offers arobotics experience applied to the field of video games, logically much more simplified. It enjoys a tutorial decidedly broad and exhaustive, which explains in the smallest detail the basic and advanced mechanics of the game which, however, are not very easy at first glance and are in no way intuitive or comfortable for a new player in the genre. However, once you understand the mechanism of the title, it will be a lot of fun to throw yourself into the field and then give life to new inventions, whether they are inspired by something that really existed or not. From the first phase of gameplay it will be automatic to perceive the ironic tone of the production, which reaches very childish levels even if it manages to bring joy.
The plot is not delineated with particular attention; in-game we will play the role of a little drone, part of a new generation of advanced AI, ironically referred to in the game as "sphere of wonders“: Its task is precisely that of inventing useful" things "intended for the human being. Of course we also have the option of personalize our tender protagonist with cosmetic elements full of style and with a shape that suits us best: it will be particularly exciting to show off with him in the formula 1 created by us! There is a special catalog dedicated to construction, in which we can find the elements necessary to try to actually create something: there are a lot of fundamental pieces for the functioning of our work and others simply to improve its appearance. An example? A moving car needs wheels, a seat and an engine! We would also like to point out how ordered the list in question is, which divides each object into different categories, starting fromelectronics, until you get to mechanics andaesthetics.
In Main Assembly you can design anything thanks to simplified programming
The game is not limited to putting the pieces together, as in the LEGO, but there is a slightly more advanced system, but still decidedly simplified: thanks to the nodes of the powerful interface of visual programming, the game offers the opportunity to set the commands of our custom robot. First of all it is important to get carried away with the basic commands of Main Assembly, after which it will be interesting to learn more about them and use the sensors in the logic of the commands to create different types of automata, such as the activation of the red lights located on the back of the machine, or insert a handbrake and a turbo mounted on your truck. We were also surprised by the physics dedicated to destruction of robots: these, if damaged, will lose pieces in a rather realistic way and if necessary they will completely disintegrate. In addition to this, it is particularly interesting to note how the speed of the vehicle we create will depend on some specific factors such as the overall mass and the balance of the chassis.
It will be even more exciting to live the experience in the company of a friend in the Multiplayer. In fact, it will be possible to compete, challenge each other or even glide to see who lands first on the track, to make everything much more fun and less boring! There is also an enormous vastness of free scenarios in which we can do what we want. For those who do not particularly chew the English language, which is usually present in smaller titles like this one, know that a special localization in Spanish has been produced in which we have found very few errors (which will probably be corrected immediately).
La final version Main Assembly will enjoy - according to the developers - a more refined, intuitive and fluid manufacturing experience. In addition to this, the intention is precisely to add more creation tools and more pieces with the aim of showing off even more crazy and interesting creations than those already in existence, as well as adding a greater number of challenge levels and scenarios. sandbox in which to play. Expectations are certainly high, since the studio that worked on Main Assembly, Bad Yolk GAMES, is also made up of developers who have had other experiences with even titles triple A the likes of DOOM, Wolfenstein, The Division o Just Cause. Before leaving you, we note that the game also from the graphic point of view is not particularly pretentious: Main Assembly can in fact run on mid-range PCs without particular difficulties from the point of view of the framerate.
