The Expanse: Osiris Reborn preview: an Xbox 360-era shooter, not a new Mass Effect

TechRadar spent 90 minutes with a demo of Owlcat Games' The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Set between seasons 1 and 2 of the TV show around the Phoebe incident, its combat echoes Gears of War and Binary Domain, but dialogue and chase sequences feel thin.

• The 90-minute demo covered stealth on a Protogen station, firefights and a mutant chase
• The story sits between seasons 1 and 2 of the show, within the first two books
• Combat mixes Gears of War and Binary Domain with on-the-fly specialism swaps via skill trees
• The mutant pursuit lacks tension due to weak AI and no cinematic flair
