I loved the original board game of Dark Future. The theme of it - especially the 80s corporate ad for the Interceptor - seems about right, but the visuals are pants and seeing civilian cars on the road worries me that they've either ditched the post apocalyptic setting or completely failed to understand it. Real time / turn based (pause to issue orders by the sounds of it) might work but often doesn't, although it sounds like there's an element of management and development which could be good. Fingers crossed, but currently pessimistic.
Looks interesting. It's hard to get open world procgen consistently interesting without if falling into the 'all missions are different but the same' trap, but if they can make the core gameplay good enough then nobody will care. Most fail at this, but at least they're acknowledging why games like this are usually shit.
Pretty. Interesting concept. No indication whatsoever of what kind of game it'll be.

I remember liking the first one, but being disappointed by the final boss (quick time events!). Never played it more than once though for some reason.

I always thought that by far the most potentially interesting part of the original was the whole manipulating the orc organisation chart aspect, and they really should have doubled down on that and spent less time on bullshit collection. If they have expanded on that I would be very interested in the sequel.
