Early Access Review-----------------------------------Original Review:--------------------------------------After 8 Hours felt everything seen. It's basically like Don'T Starve (with bad Graphics and everything only moves when you move yourself) only with some Weaknesses and Quirks:-There are 1000 Resources-some of which can of course be gained from others and you can try a boredom quite nicely around But at some point it annoys that you have to disassemble and put it all together thousands of times to create a Tool or a Weapon at the End. Clearly, however, I understand everything seems so cumbersome.
-Crafting Menu and Inventory are completely unsorted and the same Objects don't even stack-you can have both menus filtered and sorted, but they still remain completely confusing-The Survival makes quite good Pressure at the Beginning, but once you have a Knife You can just walk around the World and harvest every Fruit Tree and vegetable and you basically never have to go Hungry. Thirst I also had quite well out-if you have several Water Containers, you actually get over the Rounds quite well-pure Survival I didn't find that. In Ark, I'm more likely to have died of thirst or starvation than I am here.
-I lacked the clear Goal of the Game. If you go through to Metal processing, you actually saw everything (at least that's how it made the Impression on me) and why you should stay on the Island even further, I don't really know. Other Reviewers here have already spent more Time in the Game, who may have had Fun at the Grind or at the Challenge-I don't give that here.
--------------------------------------------------Current:------------------------------------------------Drathy'S Comment made me think again: I'm sticking with The Game not hitting my Needs. It desperately needs Categories when Crafting and item stacking ... But for that, it's Early Access.
I would also like to have a little more Life on the Island-beyond the Random Creeps and the scattered wandering dealers. After the first Few hours, however, I hardly Wanted to look for it.
On the other Hand, I also see the Strengths of the Game: The Crafting is very profound, you don't even forge such a Copper Bar Just because you have Copper and an Oven. There is still a Need for a Mould, different Powders and Pliers to get the Things out of the Oven. That's cool and if it annoyed me over time that nothing is really easy, I can well imagine that others can have more Fun with it and enjoy the Survival factor behind it.
I recommend this Game now, but with Reservation: Watch a Lets Play and keep an Eye on the Updates. The Developers seem to be very active and in Touch with the Community. If you like what you see, you can definitely try the Game for the Prize.
