Taking Gravity for Granted? Not for Long. Heavenly Bodies is Out Now on Xbox – Xbox Wire | CPT PPP Coverage

At its core, Heavenly Bodies is a game about moving a body in space. You’ll manipulate the hands, arms and legs of a weightless cosmonaut to push and pull yourself through a vast space station where, for better or worse, every object is at the mercy of Newtonian physics.

While it may sound straightforward enough, do not be fooled. Astronauts train for years before taking to the skies, but you’ll have about five minutes before being tasked to unwind solar panels, assemble space telescopes and extract samples from asteroids using specialised equipment.

Things may be tough to begin with, but patience is key. Keep a cool head, read the manual, and soon you’ll be gliding down the halls like a seasoned professional.

Things can get lonely out in space, but thankfully you don’t have to travel alone. Heavenly Bodies is best enjoyed as a local co-op experience, and each of the seven missions (and DLC) can be played with up to four players.

So bring around a friend (or three) and use your loving cooperative nature to get the job done. Or… just blow each other out the airlock. It’s your choice.

If the Heavenly Bodies base game simply isn’t enough, you’re in luck! The Cleanup DLC is also available and contains a huge amount of additional challenging gameplay. Also a special mention to our personal favourite addition – the Piloted Manoeuvring Unit (PMU).
