- “I feel like this game has real potential, but building is a core part of the gameplay and until this aspect is massively improved, I wouldn't recommend playing it.”
- “The gameplay loop settles into repetitive interactions, predictable exploration, and frequent enemy attacks that don’t evolve much over time.”
