Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Resource progression feels well paced, the world is very beautifully made and fun to explore, the biomes all have their niches and feel well spread out.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Who I do not recommend it to: anyone expecting a strong co-op survival crafting game, a polished alternative to Grounded, meaningful progression, repeatable bosses, deep building, good combat balance, or a finished-feeling world after the main map opens up.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was nice that we didn’t have to rely on a dedicated server, which is a big plus for co-op games like this.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals and creatures are incredible, the exploration is hand-crafted and excellent, the range of difficulty settings are ace, and the gameplay is decent.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed the random cliffs of difficulty and would play this again start to finish.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love that the server can be up even when the owner of the server is not online and that settings can be adjusted based on your group's playstyles.
