Would recomend if you wanna sit down for a while and play something interesting. I had this on my wishlist for years, because it can only get better, right? Wrong, apparently.Made the mistake of finally purchasing this thinking it would make for a good game to follow, in early access, and enjoy. I guess I should have paid better attention. After 3-4 years, it's still about the same. Apparently the game is considered released now. However, the graphics are okay, but the assets seem extremely mediocre. (Maybe it's better later - I couldn't push through the boredom) The animations are on part with a sample pack for a game engine, in the extremely rare situation that they actually exist at all. Movement and crafting mechanics are downright generic. You pretty much slide everywhere. The sound pretty much all comes from the same one direction, so surround isn't even fun for it. This is a game that demonstrates the reason why we can't just accept the low quality of early access with the intent to improve, because not everyone wants to improve their game to release quality.Crafting is similar to The Forest, while being really janky because everything just teleports everywhere. No effort put into actually making things look real at all. Even trees just sit in the air, for a bit, after being cut, and then.....poof. 3 vertical "logs" appear for you to teleport into your arms. All of this is acceptable for an early alpha. However, this has been declared as finished (2.5 years ago) with no intent to update, which is unacceptable. So I dub this abandonware (despite the dev's attempt to name it otherwise.) I feel silly doing it, but I'm refunding the $3 I paid for it, because it's just not worth the price, or more of my time.The only thing I can really give this game is the same comment that has been said at Denny's Restaurant, a few times:"My compliments to the photographer."
