Space shooter Boundary is Call of Duty in zero-G

Finally, a game brave enough to answer the question on all of our lips: "What would happen if there was a gunfight on the International Space Station?" This multiplayer shooter tackles its pleasingly silly premise with a surprising seriousness, kitting out its astronauts with plausible near-future tech and maintaining a clean, NASA-appropriate aesthetic.Crudely speaking, this is Call of Duty in zero-G—two teams of five pick loadouts, jump into a map, and shoot at each other a bunch… in space. But over the course of my hands-on I'm delighted to find that the setting is far more than just a gimmick.A generous jetpack allows for all the freedom of realistic zero-G movement without any of its frustrating limitations. Where the Outer Wilds earlier this year reveled in the humour and challenge of struggling against physics, Boundary is more interested in the possibilities unrestricted 3D movement opens up.
