Hybrid, the upcoming third-person shooter from 5th Cell (best known for creating Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life) marks their first foray into the downloadable-shooter genre. Granted, the third-person shooter genre is by no means new, but Hybrid is ditching free-form movement for cover-to-cover, jet-pack powered travel. Similarly, 5th Cell is switching things up by including microtransactions.
2016 has been a hard year for game studios, with Lion Head and Press Play Studios being closed down, and the layoffs at Carbine Studios, there have been good people in the industry out of work. It seems you may soon need to add another studio to that list. 5th Cell, the studio behind Drawn to Life and Scribblenauts has suffered serious layoffs today.
Warner Brothers and 5th Cell should consider porting the game to consoles and the Vita
Scribble N is a hot mess. They need to rethink that series and make it into something that makes sense.
As it stands, it's hard to like especially with games that offer similar action and execute better. Max and his marker come to mind.

Featuring just one campaign at a time, they position their utility on the fact that they offer the potential of actual investment into the projects people back. Anchors in the Drift was to be the newest game from the skilled folks over at 5th Cell."
5TH Cell, creators of Scribblenauts, seek investment and rewards crowdfunding for new PC game.
$500,000 crowd funding goal is steep for an indie game. They must have some big plans!
This looks interesting. I loved scribblenauts, so I am hopeful this will pan out.
The art looks super cool but it's going to take a lot for the card system to win me over.
Yay, another mediocre third person shooter... Pass.
Wonderful. Another TPS I've just instantly lost all interest in. How can new players stay competitive and get excited about putting the time in to unlock that stuff honorably when the dickholes of the gaming world are just going to buy all the best stuff from the get-go?
Pardon my language, but DLC has turned into such bullshit...
Boooooo!
