In the end, The Anacrusis did everything humanly possible to make us die. And it succeeded. The 3.0 update is out for the game, promising to reduce the difficulty we experienced a few months prior.

After last week's playthrough of Back 4 Blood, our appetites were whet for more co-op survival goodness. Next up on the list is the recently released early access version of The Anacrusis, a game from the same DNA though set in a distinctly different atmosphere. 

We're still getting caught up on some of the news and game announcements from E3 and Keighley's Summer Game Fest, and one title that sounds very promising for all us Left 4 Dead fans is The Anacrusis, the first game from new development studio Stray Bombay. The studio was co-founded by Dr Kimberly Voll and Chet Faliszek, who have plenty of experience betwixt them, and in an interview back in 2019 when the studio was first announced, Chet said "we wanted to start a studio that made co-op games."
