The game lacks a cohesive storyline or clear objectives, leaving players to explore a vast and visually appealing map without any narrative direction. As a result, encounters with creatures and resources feel disconnected and lack significance.
“The map is vast, the scenery is beautiful (as long as you ignore the mosaics on the buildings), and there is no storyline that forces you to complete a certain goal.”
“Other creatures and resources that appear in the tutorial (such as bears, goats, minerals, etc.) I have not encountered so far, or if I have, it seems to make little sense, because the game has neither a plot nor a goal.”
