I initially started playing this game because of a PSstars campaign. "Relaxing games". What a lie.

The world in this game is just like real life nature: uncaring, unfair, cold and only the strong and intelligent survive... and initially that is your only objective.

If you gave up or you didn't get it, I understand. At the start this game seemed like an impossible mountain I was trying to climb. Just surviving 5 days was a challenge.
I persevered. I also used a map. Even if that kind of spoiled some areas for me I was still impressed by every new area I reached, and every new organism that I encountered.

This game was an amazing and unique journey. Getting the platinum trophy felt amazing. Still, I can't give it 5 stars... there's a lot of frustrating moments that felt unavoidable, like the classic immediately getting your head chomped with no warning when you move screens, or having to maneuver on the edge of the screen causing the camera to go back and forward a ton of times.
