Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I find way too many survival games to wind up being nothing but walking around clicking every resource you can see so you can walk back to the crafting table and click more buttons to get a slightly better item to click resources more efficiently, and while this game definitely has that core gameplay loop, it's scaled back enough that it doesn't completely dominate the experience or overstay it's welcome.

Graphics

+Although the system requirements claim to require Windows 10 64-bit it ran just fine on my 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional on maximum graphics settings at 1080p resolution using my RTX 2060.

Arid also has a pretty good (though it’s only 20 minutes long) FREE, HIGH-QUALITY SOUNDTRACK.
