The gameplay of the game is characterized by its engaging crafting mechanics and beautiful graphics, which many players find satisfying and immersive, especially in VR. However, there is a notable lack of survival elements and depth, leading to a feeling of emptiness and limited objectives, which some players find disappointing. While the core mechanics are solid and enjoyable, many reviewers express a desire for more content and challenges to enhance the overall experience.
- “The gameplay, although simple in nature, is insanely relaxing, satisfying, and excellently tuned for VR in a way that is very rare to see.”
- “The crafting mechanics take a little bit of time to get used to, but every single item crafted feels like you've actually created something, which of course, you have!”
- “The game is gorgeous, the controls are seamless, the mechanics and gameplay are perfect.”
- “I cannot fathom why, *why* there was **zero** effort put into survival mechanics for *six ... years.”
- “My point in mentioning the lack of survival mechanics was to illustrate how empty and devoid of any meaningful challenge this game is in contrast to the unending stream of requests for a survival mode.”
- “The system to 'discover' crafting recipes is just junk; I don't know why the developer thought that 'finding' papers of crafting recipes is a smart way to learn new things to craft, but that entire mechanic is terrible.”

- “This game has beyond amazing graphics, blocky but it's beautiful like no other, especially at night with the northern lights.”
- “The graphics settings are weirdly over-customizable, to the point where I can't get my game to look good no matter what I do.”
- “Nothing in terms of actual graphical fidelity changes whenever I change any options in visual or performance either; the only things I notice are in bloom and contrast, but textures don't look nicer no matter what I try.”
- “I have a reasonable rig for VR; for example, I can play Fallout outdoors at good quality, but the amount of reprojection and bloom in this game's graphics gave me a headache after a few minutes.”

- “Great game so far, only problem is some stuttering when loading a new area, and it is pretty demanding.”
- “Now I've been really negative, but this game isn't bad anymore; it's just unpolished. It needs more stuff, more options, better optimization, and to use the VR element more.”
