Its hand-drawn style and custom weather or lighting options are a great starting point, but some key features—like dungeon or cave maps—are still missing.
Gameplay

It really is a sandbox where sky really can be the limit. there are a few things that would be helpful like making lines so i can build around it, and making more buildings like hospitals etc, but all in all I would suggest anyone who just like to create to use it.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
