I'm surprisingly disappointed in this one. Ever finish a tutorial, stop playing, then come back after a long time? That's how this felt starting out. There were already icons for stuff all over the map, lots of menus like level up, gear, crafting that you can already access and most of it didn't have any explanation. No real tutorial stuff except your typical look, move, hit things at the beginning. For a survival crafting mmo it starts more like a "hard" sandbox game. Sometimes you'll get pop-ups about stuff, when your right in the middle of doing something else, so you miss half of it. Fortunately it's not a diffucult game and most things are pretty easy to figure out. It definitely doesn't hold your hand😂.

Been quite buggy and kind of lackluster. They have been doing frequent patches, so some stuff has gotten better. Lots of issues with crafting the building, like pieces not wanting to attach, won't snap-to the piece your aiming at but will go to stuff off to the side or above. If you rotate something too much it'll just keep spinning and you have to exit build mode. And he typical bs where some things just aren't possible. Like if you make a hexagon out of the triangles bigger than six pieces, you can't put an actual roof on it because they didn't make a roof piece to connect a square roof piece with the triangles. You can only cover it by using floor/ceiling tiles. Of you just want a box to put stuff in, its fine, but otherwise gets frustrating. Couple good things though when doing furnishings, your not limited to 90 degree angles, you can actually rotate everything, and the amount of materials you need is actually reasonable. Like chopping down 1 full grown tree will let you make 10 walls, instead of having to chop several trees to just make you wall.

Maybe Its the server im in, but ive seen very few people, and the chat seems rather dead. combats very easy as long as your using appropriate gear level. Exploring is kind of meh. There aren't really any enemies except around specific areas, so going from place to place is kind of peaceful. THE bicycle is fun, you can jump and do flips and spins. You can even manage to mountain climb😂. Thought there was pvp, but haven't seen anything for it. There are group dungeons, but theyre easy enough to solo so far. The story is...kind of dull/non-existent. Your a special human and run errands and solve problems for people. There's not much lore learned from npcs/story. There's lots of stuff you can pick up and read, but i haven't read any of it😂. Npcs voice overs are random. They often don't match subtitles, and some just don't have voice overs. They still gesture and move like theyre talking, but no sound. The loot system is kind of nice, you don't have to pick anything up, it just auto collects anything that isn't in a chest, or like plants and rocks. No autoplay. LARGE open world. Some stuff is too large. You do have to keep and eye on hunger and thirst, but it isn't too bad. You DONT have to worry about your character needing to shit. Sleep seems optional.

i could keep going, but this is too long already.Over all, I'm very under whelmed by this one. Not saying it's horrible, if you like crafting/survival games it's worth a shot, but i don't really see what all the hype was about.
