As a kid, I spent countless days outside my house on a pile of dirt. On this pile, I operated my miniature heavy equipment operation where I put my Tonka trucks to work moving dirt and transporting other toy trucks to my imaginary job sites. Those days helped train me for a career of equipment operation that never happened. As fate would have it, I ended up working for a video game website, but this life path serendipitously provided me the opportunity to play SnowRunner. Part mud-bogging sandbox, part load-hauling

You'd be forgiven if the name "Crucible" doesn't ring any bells. The team-based shooter was among the three PC games Amazon Game Studios revealed at TwitchCon four years ago--and there's been barely a rumbling about it since. Even then, the game's description was a pretty vague mix of multiplayer shooter ideas and battle royale features.Though nobody's heard much about Crucible for the last four years, Amazon's Seattle-based development studio Relentless has been hard at work on the shooter in all that time. And whatever Crucible started out as, it has
