The game No Man's Sky continues to evolve in surprising and enjoyable ways. The latest Remnant expedition introduces a gravity gun and some new options for customising the Colossus crawler with a flatbed tipper chassis, and then sets you loose on a planet where you collect industrial scrap that you load into your truck and take across hazardous terrain to a recycling centre where you launch it into various fiery furnaces for nanites. It becomes even more fun (and nerve wracking) when some of the waste you collect is volatile, either toxic, radioactive or explosive, and you have to carefully avoid craters and rough terrain for fear of it all going boom, like the old film Wages of Fear about truckers transporting dynamite through the jungle.
There are other options to choose tank tracks, off-road tyres or spider legs for your vehicle, depending on the terrain. The final upgrade adds a scoop to the front that lets you happily bulldoze through rocks, plants and (ahem) wildlife collecting resources as you go.
I've been playing this mainly on Switch 2, but it also cross saves seamlessly to my PS5 and MacOs versions of the game. This particular expedition is somewhat unusual as it's all based on a single planet rather than the regular planet hopping, so the multiplayer can have lots of other people driving around at the same time. There is some speculation that this is a network stress test for the forthcoming Light No Fire game which also promises massively multiplayer co-op play.
