Miner Wars: 2081 is a six degrees of freedom (6DOF) space simulator with free-roaming sandbox elements.
You operate an advanced mining ship in a fully destructible and open-world environment, which remains persistent as you complete missions or play online with others. It’s been a while since I recorded this footage, but it remains one of my favorite Let’s Plays that I’ve done so far. Unfortunately I never got to continue playing the game, but hopefully I’ll get the chance to come back to it soon.
The game is available on Steam for $19.99, and there’s a demo available so you can try before buying.
