When you embark on your first mission, you’ll probably feel afloat — both figuratively and literally. There’s a bit of a learning curve involved as you fly around space. For us, it took somewhere around two hours to really get comfortable with how it handles, but once we did we could maneuver around with precision.

At the heart of combat is a system built on breaking an opponent’s posture as you attempt to open them to a killing blow rather than slash away for damage. This is done via a mix of attacking and defending with properly timed deflections serving as the most effective way to expose a foe for the kill. Finding the sweet spot with an enemy’s attack takes practice, and if you’re too late you’ll absorb a hit — blocking wards off blows, but your own posture erodes with each strike.

Vegas gave some of its younger players a chance to shine this season, and none of them excelled like Tuch did. Although he cooled a bit in the second half, from November through the end of January he was fantastic, scoring 14 goals with 23 assists for 37 points over a 35-game span. If you took our advice in Week Four and rode Tuch over that stretch, kudos to you. For the season, he reached 20 goals for the first time, becoming a key man on the Knights’ third line. Man, the Wild must be kicking itself for losing such a big, talented kid like this.

Continuing our theme of young hurlers that really impressed in their first starts of the season, how about Fried? All he did was limit the Cubs to one measly hit over six innings while fanning five without a walk on Thursday. That outing earned Fried a repeat engagement in the Braves’ rotation, although given that it’ll be in Colorado, you may not want him active. He made a few starts for Atlanta last year, but mostly pitched out of the bullpen, and after a couple of relief outings to begin this season, he sure looked like he wanted to stick as a starter. If Fried can be anywhere near as phenomenal going forward, he could wind up being a real steal.

Among the most popular — and certainly oldest — players in the league, Chara continues to prove Fantasy worthy despite having just turned 42. He has a goal and two assists over the last three games, and since March 14, he’s tied for the league lead at +10. In fact, after a slow start, Chara went +9 in February and is +11 so far in March. He’s only scored five goals — his fewest since 2000-01, but continues to be a real asset in +/- and he still has that amazing reach that makes him such an effective shutdown defender. Small wonder the Bruins gave just Chara a one-year extension.

It should also be noted that there is a handful of action sequences, and the lack of technical finesse here is notable. There were a few sequences that we had to play multiple times simply because the targeting cursor moved with a weird floatiness.
