Many users highlight issues with inventory management and building mechanics, which detract from the overall experience.

- “The gameplay is complex but not impossible.”

- “Huge world, deep story, challenging, great graphics, and rewarding gameplay.”
- “Alright so I don't know what kind of tools and scripting languages you're using in the office, but the gameplay and controls are obviously not that good compared to other survival games. Even the cheap survival games have better controls. Have you all not tested the game to notice these problems?”
- “Various other issues pretty much break gameplay with a controller.”
- “As the gameplay revolves heavily around inventory and resource management, the unintuitive UI heavily impacts the experience.”

The game's story is generally praised for its depth and uniqueness, with players appreciating the intriguing plot and the incorporation of journal excerpts that enhance the narrative experience. However, some reviewers noted that the storyline can feel short and repetitive, especially after completing the main objectives, leading to a sense of boredom in the later stages of gameplay. Overall, while the story contributes positively to the immersive open-world experience, there are calls for more content and features to sustain player engagement.
- “The enemies are genuinely terrifying at night and are fun to combat, and the storyline is unique and intensely thought out.”
- “Storyline is great so far, you find excerpts from journals that give you insight into what was happening on the island.”
- “A true open world survival game with a pretty interesting plot line too!”
- “The map is fairly large with many cool areas, but the actual storyline is short and repetitive.”
- “Fantastic, love the game, surprisingly in-depth story too, but please fix the invisible wall glitch with the guns. I played the entire first island and middle island without issue, but once I stepped foot on the top left island, I was plagued by that glitch everywhere. The game was virtually unplayable on the later islands. After a few reloads, the issue seems to have been resolved, but I believe something about progressing to the next large island may have caused an issue in the coding.”
- “Add more features, weapons, real-life movements, longer story mode, and please let us control our own controller button layouts.”
