Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game doesn't have much challenge it's a simple and casual game with a little story to keep you entertained and in a direction towards some sort of ending which will be available in the full game.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Hunting, crafting, building a home, and traveling through forests and rivers has a relaxing pace to it, especially combined with the soft visuals and calmer soundtrack.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Expanding the world piece by piece makes exploration feel much more controlled and rewarding, and it adds a nice sense of progression as you gradually shape your own little frontier adventure.

Controller works nicely- always nice to have a choice.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It would be really interesting to be able to play co-op with a few friends and build a little settlement, or perhaps to build a settlement where NPCs will move in and create a little town of sorts.
