The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Stonados through its more ambitious moments.

Paul Johansson and Sebastian Spence lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. Stonados came out in 2013.

It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
