A lot to do, farming, fighting, questing, building, recruiting, ETC. If you are looking for a game that you cant finish in 8 hrs this is the game. There is always something to do and you won't get bored. Yes, the farming can get a little repetitive, because you need A LOT of materials to build, craft, ETC, but it is fun to do it. You also have your villagers to assist you in gathering, crafting, cooking, and fighting. The map is huge. It defiantly isn't your typical survival game. A must try. I never want to get off and I am always looking for my FIX of this game!!!

The game is super basic and no creative outlet for building at all. The textures are bland. The game freezes all the time and is unplayable. I get it is early release but it is not ready for public sale yet.

Bellwright has been a great experience so far, I've played a good amount of the game but still feel as though there's still lots more to do an explore. I saw a few reviews saying it could be a bit grindy in the beginning but it doesn't seem to be, especially once you have a few companions/workers to grow your settlement. Overall I think it has been balanced so far and quite fun and engaging.
Compared to other games:
Coming from recent games like Valheim and Enshrouded I'd say this game has the potential to be one of the very best. I also enjoyed some of the early Mount & Blade games so I enjoy the combat in this and I've found the archery to be fairly good as well.
I also feel that this game is a better version of Medieval Dynasty, although I only played a couple of hours of that game before refunding it. This game really grabbed me early on and I fairly quickly knew it was going to be a game I would enjoy.
Compared to Enshrouded, I found that Enshrouded was fun, however the combat was a bit tricky, and the bows were downright disappointing. I played a good amount of hours and it didn't hook me as quickly as games like Bellwright (or Valheim for example). The best part of Enshrouded was the building. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I will play more Enshrouded, but I tried Bellwright after playing Enshrouded and haven't been back to Enshrouded since.
Tips:
Make sure you unlock the Travel Signs when they become available as they really help with moving around the map and in particular between the different towns and quest locations.
You can fight some bandit camps by yourself, especially if you use a bow to pick a few off quickly, but if you are playing solo, I recommend getting a couple of companions well equipped (at least with a shield) to help you fight bandits.
Gameplay:
I feel there are 3 main elements to this game. The RPG/quests element, the survival/crafting side, and the town/village/companion management side of things (think Rimworld and other similar games).
All three of these work quite well already (of course with some room for improvement) and will keep you quite busy and entertained between these different elements. Realistically it would still be a pretty good game if you only had 2 of the 3 elements, but with all 3 it is truly an interesting, engaging and fun game with plenty to do.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys survival games and particularly people who enjoyed elements of Mount & Blade, Valheim, Satisfactory & Rimworld.
TLDR: This game is quite good at the moment, with the potential to become one of the very best.

After 282 play hours I got a message that I completed the game. To wait for another expansion update. That I could still explore and play more until then. This game dominated my gaming time for the last 6 weeks. I loved it. I am a big fan of Skyrim Elderscrolls and Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 and Kingdom Come. This game is really good. I really enjoyed fighting Bandits raids and camps, hunting, researching and building my villages. The quest line was interesting too. I took my time playing and now 100% understand how to play the game. I highly recommend this game. It took some time to figure everything out. Here are my results:
Gold: 36k
Reknown: 337k
All villages are level 3
All quests completed
All weapons and armor researched
All buildings built
Reservists: 21

As the game is currently I cannot recommend it, hopefully it can be built upon as the premise seems good but falls down in a number of areas so far, combat being the biggest jankyness so far which appears to want to be a style from kingdom come but which enemies just dont engage in.
Worthwhile to keep an eye on the game to see if it does develop more.

Great game. Awesome progression to tier 3. Great balance of bandit patrols, bandit camps, quests, liberating towns, setting up outposts, tech trees. 125 hours well spent! Can't wait for the next chapter! 10/10

Hands down one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Yes it's "grindy", but I think thats what I like most about it. Starting as a peasant and ending as a knight isn't suppose to happen in 50hrs of playing a game like this. Plus I just saw that the new update is going to have animal husbandry, fishing, a library and some other stuff. Great game, would recommend to anyone who is into survival/craft/medieval/town building type games.

In a nutshell this feels like an open world co-op survival variant of Mount and Blade. If that is what you are looking for then give it a go!
Just keep in mind that Donkey Crew and Snail Games don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to game development, so buy at your own risk.
