There are certain aspects to the game that I really like:
- building your camp
- helping pals that you can assign to tasks
- fighting and capturing
- interacting with a variety of pals (as mounts, weapons, etc.)
- relaxing atmosphere and gameplay
However, the game‘s current, technical state is worrying and according to videos, the developers don‘t continue to work on their Early Access-titles, eg. Craftopia.
So I could play this on Game Pass and it was more or less free, but if I had paid 20+ euros for this game, I wouldn‘t have been satisfied.
Why?
- tons and TONS of glitches
- empty open world
- no story, dialogue or interesting locations
For instance, there is a small town in a desert area. 60% of NPCs are glitched under the surface and no dialogue whatsoever makes any sense.
- many copied elements, that don‘t always work
- not many things to apart from running around and capturing pals
- coop-gameplay on Xbox only works, if the creator of the world starts the game
- only XP-grind is capturing pals as in Legends Arceus
- pals don‘t do anything in the wild, they‘re just standing around in places
- …
So, there are immense, technical downsides to the game. It‘s still a funny mix, as it as a lite-version of ARK, but it could‘ve been a gamechanger for the whole genre. Maybe some other company learns from it and gives us a game like this. As long as it is not Ubisoft…
