Fun with friends, still early access hell game

Incredibly fun game, has stolen at least 1 hundred hours of my life just cultivating a modlist.

Despite the RPG elements eventually becoming a little grating, the game's story and real-time segments distinctly make up for it in such an extreme way that even giving it a 4.5 feels like too little, but gating an entire route through the most numbing over time aspect of the game without the daytime segments just feels... really bad.

One of the few games I've ever perfected, kinda wish I felt more reason to play it aside from that.

Despite an inability to keep me playing aside from quick bursts, definitely a game that's long stayed in my library of favorites for a reason

An extremely strong return to the metroid formula from the genre's namesake, very glad I preordered (despite how long it took me to play)

Precept One: 'Always Win Your Battles'. Losing a battle earns you nothing and teaches you nothing. Win your battles, or don't engage in them at all!
