I really like the game play. It's not too complex, yet it really teaches me to not try to do everything at the same time. A little bit clunky on the controls, like if I want to open a chest while holding a mallet, I need to un-equip that first, otherwise, I'll start destroying my chest. Dragging items outside the slots to auto-drop would be wonderful as well, and double clicking to transfer would avoid tiring my wrist from having to drag and drop everything.
I wish there was better response in the after-sale support for questions about the game. Also, this is the first game that I've played that crashed my GPU (RX 6700 XT) twice while playing on Very High settings (and no, I am not using any 3rd party translation tool in my unit).

I would stay away from this game because there are just too many issues. To begin with, the camera fov angle is very strange, like the world is skewed. Hunger and thirst also drop insanely fast and you will constantly die if you are not always paying attention to these. You also cannot remap the controls and the map is terrible. I was constantly getting lost. Houses are also very plain and boring and I could not figure out how to rotate walls, perhaps because nothing is explained. I also couldn't find a way to build a door, unless you needed to progress further in the game in order to do that. There also doesn't seem to be any cool weather effects in this game such as rain. I also experienced frame rate drops when entering new areas, even with the only graphic setting on low. The game just looks and feels very cheap. I believe also that the developer has abandoned the game. I cannot recommend this game and would instead recommend Force of Nature 2, which is far superior to this game in every way.

I have a few hours under my belt playing the game and I have to say it isn't a bad game. Does it need some work? Yes. Overall though, it is playable and has some interesting aspects.
For example, you are not just given knowledge of everything to craft immediately. You have to get out and explore and find blueprints to learn things like the alchemy table. This requires you to go explore, fight, and gain experience.
The combat is OK. I tried range and melee so far. Range is good, but if you run out of ammo, your char runs right up to the mob and starts punching it! So make sure you have ammo to go hunting!
One area that could use improvement is the swapping of weapons/tools. I found I had to leave my char window open and manually swap items in and out as needed. This becomes troublesome in a fight where you go from ranged to melee. It also reduces screen view to leave the window open. Maybe I am missing something, so this could be resolved I just don't know it. :)
You'll also want to make a bag as soon as you can. Your beginning inventory is your hot bar. Once it is full, you cannot pickup anything more. Since there is a lot to pickup in the beginning, you will want to focus on what you need to make a "base" and staying alive.
All-in-all, I like the game. I have found nothing so far that is game breaking as far as glitches or bugs. I recommend picking it up and giving it a go.

Finished it in 24 hours. I liked it. Somehow it kept me wanting to return and play some more. It needs a lot of work, though.

i love grinding games but this one is unplayable. it crashes a lot and when you play either new game or load a game you get minutes of a black screen. it says generating world the load depends on your PC. i have high end PC so the game is unplayable. i don't recommend it at all. if you like this sort of game play Force of nature 1 & 2

ok so this game has serious issues, First of it crashed 4 times on me trying to load into the map after the main menu. Second when i finally got this game to start in a map and actually get to play this game it made my pc gpu "which is only a few weeks old and basically brand new " make sounds it never made before like a jet engine struggling to breath or sounding like it was gonna blow up and this is just an overview game and is not a high demanding graphics game, actually it looks more like 2006 xbox 360 game. my pc has no problems handling high demanding graphic games such as resident evil for example so i don't see why this game should make my gpu sound that way . i hate leaving bad reviews and especially when i barley played the game but i don't want to see anyone's 1000 dollar pc crap out because of a generic 8 dollar game that barley works . this should have been an early access game first so do not recommend this game to anyone in its current state at 8 dollars alone hell i wouldnt even recommend it if the game was free! The dev has a lot to fix on this game if he wants it to actually go somewhere. i will be refunding it for now and il see if the dev puts in effort to fix how this game runs and not making pcs sound like they are gonna self destruct than i will give it a second chance and see if it is good enough to change the review from negative to positive

It was good for the first few hours, but all of the mechanics thrown in to hamper player progress is really turned up to 11 so that it drags out the time spent getting through the content.
The horrible controls, especially the lack of the ability to bind a key to items of any kind, makes it a context-menu click-fest for everything from crafting to inventory management to even combat.
The frequent lockups and crashes once you progress past a certain point just adds to the frustration, especially if you didn't save recently.
Need a lot of balancing, fixes and updates.

Saves do not work. It's seems like a scam to me. It's an incomplete mess. I thought I would kill some time til Diablo 4 comes out. Its not even worth the 8 bucks I spent. Do not buy it until you actually see the Devs do something to fix...everything. As of 5/7/23 its a scam until proven otherwise. I need a description in order to post this recommendation? Alright, It claims to be a Survival/Crafting adventure on a mystical island. It is indeed what it allegedly claims, but it is incomplete, bug filled, lazy attempt cash grab. QoL is not a concern of the Devs.

With how unfinished this game feels, I was surprised to see that it wasn't in early access. If this is this finished product then I just can't recommend it. It's a great concept, but not well executed.
-Extremely clunky camera angles, making me actually dizzy
-Not REALLY survival since there is an NPC giving you quests
-Very empty, lonely map
-Just plain boring
I'm refunding, but I will keep up with how the game continues to develop (if at all) and I would consider re-buying if I feel like some of these issues are fixed. I don't see that happening, though, if this is the finished product that the released.

At time of writing this I can't imagine anyone giving this a thumbs up. I just don't understand.
This is not a good game. It's just not. It's missing so many fundamentals that are essential for quality gameplay that I can't imagine this game being considered good.
It's descriptors are incomplete and generic and vague. It's combat is poor, glitchy and boring. It's crafting is needlessly confusing. It's tutorial is absolute garbage and doesn't teach you anything. It's story is vague and boring and generic (like most of the game).
Honestly it doesn't teach you anything, it's main components are boring and the whole thing feels unfinished, like an early access. But it's not advertised as an Early access game but a finished product. It has spelling errors, framerate drops, freezing, it crashed during a loading screen on me. When you die it sends you back to the main menu, no respawn or autosave function.
The A.I. that you fight against are braindead so it makes combat super easy and boring. The game doesn't look all that great, you can't tell the difference between day or night unless you look at the clock. The rotation controls are inverted, when you open your map and zoom in, it also zooms in on your character so when you get out of your map you're instantly confused. The map has no legend telling you what is what. And I could go on and on and on.
But I'm not gonna waste your time. Just don't buy this game. But if you're still curious and wanna see a more in depth look with gameplay then please check out the video on my youtube channel (link below).

Otherwise thanks so much for reading and I hope I managed to help some of you out there to spend your money wisely.
