This game has a quarter million reviews already, there's not much to say that hasn't already been said. This is my go-to forever game when all the rest of the gaming industry has been enshitified. It's cheap, it's packed with content, there aren't any microtransactions. Buy it.
*Navigates 3hrs to get iron* *Forgets to bring pickaxe* *Forgets to build portal* *Dies* 10/10, would die again
5 years, half a decade in EA and we've recieved 2 biomes, a few materials, a revamped food system and a magic system thats gated off for half the game. you canot defeat the 6th boss solo without cheesing the fight. leaving the fight to repair gear and re entering is expected, thats terrible game design. if you get killed in the next region before establishing a portal, guess what. you need to build another resource intensive boat again. this game does not respect your time.
