Synthetik 2 is available in Early Access on Steam.The Surry Arts Council is partnering with comedian John Floyd - better known as The Mouth of Mayberry - in a new comedy club series featuring regular performances by Floyd and an open mic for local residents with a few jokes to share. It would be nice to have other people know what I'm talking about when I say those big red Xes complete me as a person. I have no idea if the changes will be enough to lift Synthetik out of obscurity into the popularity it deserves, but I hope so. It also lets you save your run rather than having to start over each time, which is my favorite addition. Synthetik 2 is a fancier-looking version of what already existed, with the promise of expanded everything, a modding framework, and dedicated servers for online co-op with up to four players. It's the kind of game that benefits from having more of everything, to continuously deliver the surprise of picking up a new gun that's got a different reload timing and finding out it has a frankly ridiculous ricochet. It's adding a new attachment system, dual-wieldable guns, weapons that differ based on which faction you loot them from, etc.

Synthetik 2 aims to build on that with more varieties of upgrade terminals and more possibilities for what they can affect. This kind of risk/reward stuff was a significant part of the first Synthetik, where you might gamble your own health for a power-up. Others help in different ways-one summons a guardian ally when my shields run out, and at another terminal I get the option to give an anonymous tip to the cops, which will add a chance for my summons to be "elite" while also raising the local terror level. Upgrades in the field, some of which I have to gamble for, beef those numbers up further. A laser turns out to be bad against armor, so I switch to the PSR 2000 'Ninata', a semi-automatic sniper rifle with armor-piercing rounds, and watch the numbers get big again. This is one game where I don't mind having numbers all over the screen, because under the hood Synthetik 2 is all about math. They could stand to be a bit cleverer than that, but not much-the point of these clanky metal dillweeds is to cluster in groups big enough I empty a clip shooting at them then reload under pressure, and to have enough hit points that I can make big numbers fly out of them. Sometimes they shoot a wall I'm behind and kill themselves with the ricochet.
The enemies aren't geniuses and seem to kill themselves on the regular thanks to Synthetik 2's addition of physics and destructible stuff, which means red barrels are everywhere. I like the shotgun because it's one weapon I don't have to eject the clip from to reload, the spread is so wide it's hard to miss, and also it hits like a train if you could fire a train from a gun.
Eventually I realize this isn't the tool for the job, and surprisingly the police breaching shotgun is (it's "designed to take down both doors and enemies" according to the in-game description).
