I've played this game for 1,940 hours here and another 100 hours on PlayStation, so I think it's finally time to leave a review. I love this game and have really enjoyed my time with it. I highly recommend it to everyone. Shipwrecked is my favorite DLC. Thanks to everyone who took part in making this game ❤️
Kind of random: I love Minecraft but I couldn't find ways to make it difficult enough to be interesting. I also really preferred the early game and tended to get bored once I was basically invincible. This game is what I was looking for. It is very difficult and you never really get invincible. I enjoy the struggle and the constant vigilance it inquires.
It's a very good survival game. I absolutely love the style and music. It is very challenging and cruel at times but figuring things out is rewarding (through trial and error). If you're good with the roguelike trope of dying, losing all progress but gaining ways and information to improve with the next run then I would highly recommend. However, I would recommend getting the DLC's (At the very least Reign of Giants but all are great) because they add a LOT and greatly improves the experience.
