Simply disappointing. I had a bit of fun at the beginning. The DnD type character customization and dialogue was interesting, but never had too much of an impact. There were so many quests that felt tiring. Some had interesting concepts, but most were fetch quests made to show slightly interesting structures or planets. Even if the game put slightly more effort into Earth, I would've enjoyed this game much more. The most fun I had was exploring the very few structures you could visit on Earth. These structures were nothing but pretty things to look at, but they were more enjoyable than any of the side quests.

I played this game when it first came out. I had no idea what early access was and I had no clue what I was doing, but it had a bunch of animals in it, so I thought it was amazing. Everything was... mediocre at best. It's a survival game, but the gameplay loop is odd. There's not much of a storyline and the progression is slow and unsatisfying. I'll admit, I haven't played since around 2020, and I believe it fully released in 2021. Animallica has always been a random memory of a mediocre game I played when I was first getting into PC gaming.

This game is great. It attempts to do so much and achieves a lot of it, but current VR technology can only take it so far. There's obviously a vision here for a VR MMO like Sword Art Online. I never got extremely far into the game, but from what I've played the story is passable. The combat system is better than I expected first going into the game. It isn't like 'RUMBLE' with complex hand gestures to activate special abilities, but it feels fluid and each class has a unique playstyle, with subclasses to enhance it even further. It definitely leads the pack in terms of VR MMOs, and I'm glad they continue to update it. I hope that in the future this game can get closer to fictional VR MMOs.
