If I were to rate this game with individual scores for its gameplay, graphics, sound design, etc. then no aspect would be rated highly due to the overall lack of polish and originality. However, this game is much more than the sum of its parts.
This is essentially the first game that is an online-multiplayer, survival-crafting, monster-collecting, action-shooter. I've desperately wanted a game like this since the Pixelmon Minecraft mod came out in 2012, which is probably the closest we've ever gotten until now.
Even though it's clear that the world design is based on Breath of the Wild, the monsters are based on Pokemon, the tech tree is based on Ark, the boss design is based on Elden Ring, etc. if I try to compare the whole of the game to another then there's no competition. This combination of genres is unique. The overall experience was unlike anything I've played before which is why I really enjoyed it despite the obvious flaws.
