The gameplay of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players citing numerous issues such as broken mechanics, glitches, and unresponsive hitboxes that hinder basic actions like gathering and crafting. While the game has potential with its survival elements and exploration, the current state is deemed unplayable, lacking essential features and polish that would enhance the overall experience. Despite some comparisons to successful titles in the genre, the gameplay feels incomplete and requires significant improvements to retain player interest.
- “I followed the game for years through many updates and loved the little additions of new lore and enhancing the gameplay experience.”
- “There are not enough 'monuments' on the map to really add to the gameplay; with more areas to explore and more things to collect/craft, I believe that people would play this game more and stick around longer.”
- “For ease of access and variety in gameplay, all of this is achieved with a single button.”
- “The way it is now is awful, and it makes the game's downfalls (the wonky mechanics and glitches) no longer charming and just horrible.”
- “Based on the game's current state, it is utterly unplayable. The hitbox mechanics are nearly nonexistent as you can hardly find a rock that is harvestable simply because the game can't register the angle you're looking for with each swing. Building and crafting are unavailable and/or broken at this time, meaning you will be gathering whatever you can gather for nothing, and the game's physics are completely broken!”
- “The bare bones gameplay needs work; there are bugs obviously.”

While some players acknowledge the game's potential and enjoy its fun aspects, the overwhelming consensus is that the current state is frustratingly unstable, particularly for an early access title. Many users express hope for significant improvements in future updates to address these stability concerns.
- “The game is already free, fun, and it runs great (yes, even on my old PC).”
- “Great visuals, very well optimized, not too buggy.”
- “The way it is now is awful, and it makes the game's downfalls (the wonky mechanics and glitches) no longer charming and just horrible.”
- “This game has a lot of glitches and bugs but it's fun so far (7 hours of playing)... example of bugs/glitches: 1.”
- “There are a lot of bugs that were present in the short amount of time I played the game, including menus not functioning, freezes, stuttering, random health loss, and more.”

The story aspect of the game received mixed reviews; while some players found it engaging and satisfying, others criticized it for lacking direction and depth, describing it as a mere sandbox experience without a compelling narrative. Many users expressed disappointment over the absence of a structured storyline, emphasizing the need for imagination and a clear plot to enhance gameplay. Overall, the game's storytelling was seen as a significant area for improvement.
- “The story had me on the edge of my seat for its entire duration, and the ending was very satisfying.”
- “If you want to produce a game, it first needs not just development but imagination, a backstory, a drive to push you in a direction, and proper classification. Survival has a beginning and an end; free roam on an open island with no story is a pure sandbox game.”
- “You can make your own story.”
- “No content, no direction, no story; even the water up close isn't rendered correctly. There is just a whole bunch of nothing, but after months of updates or patches, all we get is a torch.”
- “If you want to produce a game, it first needs not just development but imagination, a backstory, a drive to push you in a direction, and proper classification. Survival has a beginning and an end; a free roam open island with no story is a pure sandbox game.”
- “Moral of the story: wait to see if the game reaches a playable state.”

- “Great visuals, very well optimized, not too buggy.”
- “Great optimization.”
- “I entered the game and wanted to change settings. It was in borderless mode, and I wanted to switch to fullscreen mode. The game crashed, and an error popped up saying (lowlevel{fatal|error {file:unknown} {line: 249}) with error dxgi. I tried running it as an administrator and changed many settings in the program to make the game work, but nothing helped. The game is still crashing. If you can fix that, like fullscreen mode or fullscreen optimization, I would be glad and much appreciated.”
- “There are a lot of bugs that were present in the short amount of time I played the game, including menus not functioning, freezes, stuttering, random health loss, and more.”

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with players finding the resource gathering and crafting processes tedious and excessively time-consuming. Many express frustration over the need to collect large quantities of materials, such as rocks, to progress, leading to a perception of the game as boring and unenjoyable. Overall, the grinding mechanics detract significantly from the gaming experience, leaving players feeling frustrated and unmotivated.
- “Crafting involves heavy grinding and is incredibly boring.”
- “When you begin the game, it's quite grindy because you need to collect 145 rocks to get your starter tools, which makes the early experience tedious.”
- “This game is a joke; you will spend half your life grinding for a useless pickaxe. Even if all the bugs are fixed, you're still left with a boring game that feels empty.”
humor

The humor in the game is largely unintentional, with players finding amusement in its numerous glitches and awkward animations, such as floating pants and stiff character models. While the game is criticized for its poor execution, these flaws contribute to a comedic experience that some players appreciate, albeit for the wrong reasons. Overall, the humor stems from the game's shortcomings rather than intentional comedic design.
- “Corma is hilarious for all the wrong reasons.”
- “The game is funny - because it's bad.”
- “During my first playthrough, I walked around and saw a pair of floating pants... it was quite funny actually, but I don't think it was supposed to be like that. I jumped and saw a pair of floating arms at the top of the screen. I started playing in third person, and the character looked really stiff and not anatomically correct, but okay.”
