The game is plagued by numerous bugs, particularly in multiplayer, which, while playable, can be frustrating due to its instability. Single-player mode experiences fewer issues but still has glitches, such as invisible items and inventory problems. Overall, players report no major crashes, but the frequent bugs detract from the overall experience.
“I like the game, but it is very buggy.”
“Don't get me wrong, the multiplayer game is highly playable, and it doesn't take too long to work out your own ways of dealing with many of the bugs, but do you really want to pay for a buggy game?”
“Single player is, on the whole, a lot less buggy, but even then there are numerous bugs.”

The game lacks a substantial story mode or clear objectives, with the main quest concluding after about 1.5 hours and offering little in terms of engaging content thereafter. Players find the tutorial quests uninformative, primarily focusing on resource gathering without providing meaningful guidance or depth. Overall, the narrative experience is described as minimal and unsatisfying.
“The game doesn't have a story mode or actual objectives besides right in the beginning where it's just kind of showing you how to play and guide you in the right direction.”
“The main quest seems to end after 1 hour and 30 minutes of gameplay; after that, you have a very lackluster sandbox game.”
“The 'tutorial' is a series of quests that tell you to fetch resources to get a start on your base, but it doesn't actually teach you anything.”
