Summary I put almost 30 hours into The First Descendant beta, then a few more into the most recent technical test for good measure. While I’ve had access to a preview build for a few days now, it’s been quite lonely and missing the co-op shooter action that makes the game so enjoyable.

You are the galaxy’s first-ever robot journalist, and are learning the ropes by starting an internship at legacy newspaper Times & Galaxy.
