Half-Life 3 remains likely little more than a glint in Valve's eye. The series' influence can be felt across the industry, however, and no more so than in new survival crafting game Abiotic Factor, which launched just this week via Steam Early Access. The charming newcomer from Balatro publisher Playstack blends that late '90s aesthetic and a huge facility packed with all manner of weird and worrying experiments with its own twist on co-op survival, and it's already off to a shining start.
