10/10, would recommend for anyone who likes building, tech or just fun coop survival and base building/protecting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Runs buttery smooth on max graphics never dropping from what I play at with 60FPS which is unexpected probably by everyone based on what the trailer graphics looked like but does now freeze and says that it is failing to respond to windows every time it is loaded.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The also game runs well for me while looking decent (a welcome reprieve from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ UE5 optimization I’ve gotten used to from a lot of recent titles).
