I played Forager previously and I heard this game described as the 3D Forager. While that is superficially true, I think the comparison does the game a disservice. The level of automation and progression in this game is both way more engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. Not that Forager is bad, it just got to grindy for me. Outpath made grinding enjoyable because the automation options are available early on and their upgrades just increase their range. Also, the way that you pace at which you unlock more land is excellent. Even when you get later on, if you have done your due diligence on the previous islands then the amount of time it takes to unlock more is appropriately long, where if you are working at it, you can keeping going at a good clip.

The building options in the game are interesting as well. While the resource gathering is excellent, the resource refinement buildings will glitch sometimes and you have to restart the game to get them to work. Nevertheless, the game offers a lot of freedom to build platforms. It does not have much in the way of cosmetic options, but I was never bothered by that.

Lastly, there are perks you can get that can revolutionize the gameplay. They can be upgraded, which made for an extra layer of progression that I enjoyed
