  • graphics18 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising their quality and immersive atmosphere. While some players noted issues with frame rate drops, the overall visual appeal and design have been highlighted as standout features, contributing to an enjoyable gameplay experience. However, comparisons to other games like Rust suggest that some players feel the graphics may not be groundbreaking, but they are still considered very good.

    • “The graphics are stunning, even when you load back into the game all the trees you chopped down have magically grown back.”
    • “Great relaxing game, very nice visuals, runs super smooth, immersive atmosphere, and the mechanics are pretty interesting too.”
    • “Love the mechanics, and the graphics are outstanding.”
    • “If I had known this, I would have just bought that game instead, which has much better graphics and gameplay.”
    • “When developers get this greedy early on, it usually spells abandonware. The graphics are on par with Rust, the general feel is on par with Rust, the map and resources feel like Rust... basically, this is just a cheap Rust knockoff, but broken as hell.”
    • “I was getting constant frame rate drops with an RTX 3080 and i9 processor, no matter what I lowered the graphic settings to.”
  • gameplay16 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by simple and effective mechanics that are accessible for new players, complemented by nice graphics and a smooth performance. However, many users note a lack of depth, with limited content and repetitive tasks, such as base building against easily defeated enemies, leading to a perception of the game being overpriced for what it offers. While the atmosphere and crafting system are appreciated, the overall experience feels lacking in mission variety and immersive elements.

    • “Nice graphics, cool gameplay, a little less on the content side but it's very pleasant.”
    • “The game mechanics are simple but effective, making it easy for players to understand.”
    • “Great relaxing game, very nice visuals, runs super smooth, immersive atmosphere, and the mechanics are pretty interesting too.”
    • “The controller mechanics are still very wonky.”
    • “If I had known this, I would have just bought that game instead, which has much better graphics and gameplay.”
    • “Semi-decent building mechanics.”
  • story8 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users noting a lack of a coherent narrative or mission structure. While some mention a potential for story progression, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game feels empty and overpriced due to its absence of engaging story elements or character development. Overall, players find the experience lacking in immersion and depth.

    • “I haven't dug into the story that much yet, but there definitely is a story progression to follow.”
    • “At least I can't find any... also when I look for help on YouTube I get some Minecraft Far Lands stuff, no help and no storyline.”
    • “No storyline or beginner tutorial.”
    • “Summary: while this game has nice mechanics, movement, atmosphere, sounds, and crafting system, there's not much to the game. It's extremely overpriced because there's nothing really to do in the game except build a base against easily defeated enemies. There's no mission, storyline, character progression, or interactive world. This is not immersive; the ambience is good, although the nighttime is so much longer than the day, which is frustrating. Items degrade extremely fast, which doesn't reward the player for crafting certain items.”
  • stability5 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches, bugs, and random crashes that can disrupt gameplay and lead to lost progress. While it shows potential, the current state is frustrating for players, especially during critical moments like building.

    • “There are still a lot of glitches and bugs that make it very frustrating.”
    • “It has a lot of potential but it's very buggy.”
    • “Update it still is a great game, but the random crashes during gameplay and freezing get a little unnerving when you are in the middle of building, and all of a sudden the game freezes, leaving you with no option but to ctrl+tab and stop the game, losing all of your progress.”
  • grinding4 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while base building is enjoyable and not overly tedious, resource gathering and crafting can become repetitive and boring over time.

    • “This becomes tedious and boring.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
