Great game. Lots of potential. Really polished for EA.

Give it a try and support the devs. They need our support.

I've tried many of these types of survival-crafting games and enjoyed my time with many of them, particularly the multiplayer ones, but none of them have hit me this well since Minecraft gave me that original hunger

The brutal uncaring world combined with amazing exploration really feels like you're carving out a slice of an untamed world in a way I wish more games did, and I'm excited to see how they continue to expand the game as it has real potential to grow and evolve to become even more

(Played during mistlands update)
It ain't done, and it ain't perfect, but it strikes a good balance between doing crafting chores and relatively engaging combat encounters. Construction is free-form enough to feel compelling, but not so free-form you feel pressure to "make your own fun". Absolutely must be played with friends, ideally on a shared dedicated server.
Yet another completely uninspired survival sandbox game.
