“It's hard to tell whether anything is intended to work the way it does, if it's just a placeholder, if it's buggy or by design...”

“Not ready, been trying to play for a while but the game freezes after a while, shame really game is so good.”

“Server crashes and rollbacks are the norm and glitches that trap players for short and long periods of time are seen.”

“There are performance issues as well since frame rates are unable to push much past 30 fps even at the lowest settings.”

“Performance is absolutely dire; so many things are completely broken and little is explained.”

“Bugs with doors, dropping through terrain, rubber banding enemies, fake water, and building issues have persisted since the earliest builds I've seen. While general performance has improved, the servers have become so unstable that it's now a gamble whether anything you do will stick.”

“The game will not run on even the lowest quality settings, and my PC should be able to handle anything in this game at the maximum graphics settings.”

“The graphics settings don't work - only view distance, which unfortunately allows you to see through a player's walls and see where all their loot is in the base.”

“Somehow the graphics have gotten worse in the last few patches, with massive oversaturation and weird lighting. These issues are inescapable as light punches straight through solid walls and, comically, sometimes even the mountains at dawn and dusk.”

“Meanwhile, gunplay is awful, weapons are poorly balanced, jobs remain broken, and grinding for research – the currency necessary to unlock new crafting items – is an absolute slog.”

“The game is extremely grindy, so losing hard-earned progress can be frustrating.”

“Crafting is tedious, grindy, and minerals are scarce.”

“Promised game modes and storylines are missing.”

“It has lots of bugs and render problems like popping and a lot of frame drops, which can be very annoying and lead to crashes. There are a lot of missing animations, like swimming, where the water looks like thin air. I know it's EA, but they have delayed this since mid-summer last year, and it still looks bad and runs poorly. The great ideas behind it are overshadowed by these issues, and I'm hugely disappointed. Other frustrating aspects include the servers taking longer to update than the game itself, so if you update the game, 9 times out of 10, you won't be able to get back in for a couple of hours. At the moment, all you can do is hit pigs and the odd rock if it spawns, which gets very boring very quickly. Quests don't work, so leveling up will take a lifetime. On the plus side, the developers seem to be on it regarding updates and keeping us informed about fixes and bugs. I wouldn't buy this game yet; maybe next year, but not now.”

“This game could have been amazing; however, it died just after launch due to horrible management from the devs. In my opinion, this was a quick cash grab in which they never intended to finish.”

“This game had huge potential, but they didn't promote it enough, and people kept giving it a bad name, saying it was a cash grab, which led to the game's downfall when the devs couldn't keep funding due to a bad community giving the game and devs hate for no reason.”

“There is no background music or ambient sound, just the sound effects of player actions like hitting something with a pickaxe.”

“The lack of music makes the game feel empty and unengaging.”

“Without any musical elements, the atmosphere feels flat and uninspired.”
