Rising World Reviews

This is a wonderful game. If you want minecraft with more complicated building and better graphics and some good and interesting mechanics then this is your game. For the people complaining about the building, ignore them because they are misinformed. You can get a tool to return building materials to you (sledgehammer) and you can move furniture/chests/etc by holding the F button Yes building is confusing and complicated at first but there is a guide available. It'll have a prompt that says F1 I believe and it'll show you the controls for building. It gives you tons of freedom, creativity and a lot of detail to work with. Are there problems in this game? Probably. I haven't come across anything that bothers me yet. Oh the animal AI could use some work, the wolves are a little easy to deal with and some just don't attack you before you kill them with the most basic of weapons. Then again, that doesn't really bother me. I'm not concerned with combat in games like these. I also hear a specific resource is hard to find but I'm not to that point yet so idk how bad it really is or if that's been fixed in these recent updates. Over all I believe this game is worth a look for any fan of the survival/crafting/building genres. Especially at the sale price.

Give this one another chance - the new Rising World is genuinely so fun. Hats off to the devs for turning this one around so well.

Hi game players. I really enjoyed the rising world. It makes me feel like I'm leaving a second life. For some people might be corny and weird. but I enjoy the building. The nice view of the landscape. and try to survive. during the four seasons. Spring, summer fall. and winter. In some ways, I call that one year in this. game version. Nice thing about it, you can. stay realistic. without monsters. Or if you like monsters, you can turn it on. and challenge yourself. It's still in the making and being improved, so it has its moments. but overall, if you keep a great. spirit you can enjoy the game enormously if. this is the kind of game you enjoy. Have fun.

The game got huge engine update and it finally runs very smooth on my rig. Its a nice combination of Minecraft mechanics and Skyrim like world and graphics, so if you like to build stuff, give it a try and you will sure enjoy it as much as me :3

When this game first came out it was good, great even, but after many patches and updates the game has transformed into super good, super great even. Wow the graphics are quite nice, and the atmosphere is chill. There are tweaks for just about anything you could want, how fast you get hungry, how fast food cooks, so if you want the smelting ore to go faster you can set it that way, if you want it slow so you can so watch that fantastic night sky and relax by the fire while you wait you can slow the smelting to a snails pace. Walking along a beach I found some chickens, was going to turn them into nuggets but decided that day that the cow would be the one to consume, all that Moooo ing ! Well a couple days later where the chickens were and still are I see these cute little yellow baby chic's. I am not one to coo over cute things but that did it for me. The community for this game seems nice and chill, questions get answered, the Dev listens well to the users. Thanks for this super chill tailored to my liking experience.

An extremely impressive game made by a solo indie developer who has now already devoted 15+ years to this little gem. That kinda devotion to a single game shows the passion behind this game. It's easily worth the price of admission, especially now with the game completely overhauled and rebuilt in the Unity engine. (It was a Java game before) Runs extremely smooth even on my 4 year old pre-built PC and offers a crap ton of recipes and depth. Combine that with the random world generation and the ability to play co-op or PvP and you have a great value here, even at full price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This game is 11 years old. It was a great title for a long time. The dev chose to move the "back of house" operations to an entirely new game engine. The result is what this game is now. A virtual husk of its former glory. Sure the new engine looks pretty and makes water textures dance, and all kinds of possibilities have been opened with this engine. However, that glossy veneer QUICKLY fades to reveal the grim finish below, once you get into the game. Whole portions of the game have been gutted. From clothing to interactive items, and even sections of the "creative mode" are now locked away behind some means of progression that isn't even given to the player. There are several tools in creative mode that are locked and say "they are not available right now". Change for the better is different from change for the sake of change. Right now, this game is leaning well towards for the sake of change rather than for substance. It is really too bad because the previous iterations we something to see in their prime. I don't know what this is now, but it certainly isn't worth the asking price given the state of things. It is worth mentioning to anyone who is considering this title but curious about the community. The level of toxicity within the player base is somewhere between a hemlock smoothie and a sleepover at the basement of the hospital in Prypiat. Its simply not worth the effort to allow comments and try to have a dialog about the games shortcomings, the rabid fanboys will be all over the post and any hopes of actual discussion with forward progress will be snuffed out quickly. 5 - 6 years ago, I would have wholeheartedly said go for it and "grab this" you won't be disappointed. With where it has fallen to now, all I can say is you would have less disappointment grabbing a cholla cactus than this title.

This is the best game I have played and I have had many over the years. If you are a creative person or particular in what you want in a game it allows all that. You make your own story and world. You can add anything from a big list from animals to enemies. You do not have to accept just a few buildings like other games because you can build anything you like from a hut to a castle to a whole village, Ancient or Modern. There is Survival. Cold and hot seasons. Woods, deserts, snow. You can invite a friend into play. You can make it easy or hard. If you just want to build you can select Creative. You are not stuck with that as in game you can if bored with building you can just change it back to Survival again. It is what I would call the best do it yourself game ever. You can blueprint your building to put into another world or share with a friend. I team up with my daughter who is more into the combat than me with the building and we have had lots of fun.

I've been following Rising World for a long time. Started playing on the Java version right about the time they made the switch to Unity. That took a lot longer than expected, but for anyone reading, this game is anything but abandoned. It continues to grow and the Unity version is now the premier game of the two version, both of which are available for one purchase. The developer is dedicated and continues to add new features to the game as quickly as he is able. There is still more to go, but the game, as it stands today, has a lot to offer. A few of the features: - Best construction system in the gaming world, bare none. When they say build anything, they mean it. - Massive endless world to explore with three region types available today and more to come. Each region is composes of many subregions that are each unique. - Great crafting system with a progression that will continue to evolve over time - Great community and online servers with massive worlds in development. Just some of what RW has to offer. There is more with even more in development. The downsides as of the date of the store page update to the Unity version, is that the crafting system is still in development and while it has everything needed to create infinitely, it does need some tweaking and more general recipes, and we're anxiously awaiting moveable objects such as trains and cars. The survival mode is still a bit weak as well, with endless food supplies, though that will change soon with the addition of food spoilage. We also need a lot more in the way of clothing and armor, and I'm still waiting for dungeons to crawl around in and sack like in the Java version. Everything I've just listed though is nearing completion in development. Very little requires new technology or heavy development now, they just need polish to release. Development is slow at times too, but updates are regular and each one is usually packed with additional components. Now that the Unity version has taken over as the prime advertised product, it will begin to grow in features and capabilities, and the developer is very consious of not breaking anything in existing worlds so that you are never forced to start over. He is also very active on the forums and extremely responsive to issues that come up and bugs are fixed very fast. Overall, RW is one of the best games out there, strictly my opinion. Been playing for years and will continue to play for years to come.

I bought this game on day one over ten years ago. The devs have never given up on it, they just keep making it better and better. Thanks for your dedication. It has been a great journey.
