Very nice survival and crafting game I gladly come back to. Sometimes it requires explicit knowledge in how things work instead of aiding or explaining, so you need to google very often.
So much potential. An incredible and intuitive building system. Held back by performance issues and not being fully realized yet.
Need a NASA computer
So you like PvE survival games? Dope! Now how about getting to build your base over and over and over and over and over and over again all from scratch each and every time you start a new mission? Probably not.
Honestly, the game is alright. The environments look cool, but are very empty feeling and repetitive. There was fishing added as well as mount stuff. The crafting is very basic, but there is some fun stuff there as well, lots of decoration items as well. The enemies are just regular animals, but bears are b*tches, it would have been more interesting though if the enemies in the maps were something more interesting and more alien, since the planet is not Earth.
I had a decent fun with the game, but it got very repetitive and boring quite fast. I am not a huge fan of survival crafting games, so I am not the best to get opinion on these games, but take it as you will. I think the idea is good, but the execution is not. They do update the game weekly (as far as I've seen), so that's something. I think they are pretty good at listening to feedback and are taking the opinions of the playerbase into consideration.
I also had to complete the game twice, once before the achievements were added and second time after the achievements were added. They did not really make the game more fun, BUT I guess there was something more to work towards.
In the end though, I wouldn't really recommend you to get the game, even if you enjoy these types of games. It's just boring, plain and simple.

They seem to be pushing in the right direction, but performance remains a massive issue. And even as someone that loves grind, dear lord. There is so much grind.
Really fun with friends not a solo game
