Played for arround 6 hours with one mate, was a great experience so far. The forest looks INSANE, the caves are always challenging and fun too explore. Building / housing system is decent at this state of the game. There are still a few things that are not that great tho. For example, the melee system feels kinda janky because the hitbox of the first few melee weapons is pretty small. Game also could be a bit harder, apart from the caves there are not too many threats, even on hard difficulty.
This was so much fun with a friend. Very similar to The Forest with a revamped building system and new enemies. As of this time still in early access, getting better with every big update.

Absolutely in love with this base-building system. Putting something like this together is bold after your last game went with the conventional approach of click-to-place prefab structures, but I respect it. The whole idea of building your own base is now its own puzzle that requires advance planning, and I've spent basically my entire playtime in the game so far engineering modern marvels and then lecturing my friends when they interrupt my Lunch atop a Skyscraper moments by demonstrating their poor understanding of terminology any 5-year-old would know 💅
There aren't any robust physics calculations happening, but being forced to build custom structures brick by brick means that you'll develop an appreciation for even slightly large structures and will take way more psychic damage IRL when some graceless goober manages to knock them down. Any friend who plays these #EarlyAccess #Survival #Crafting games for the base building will get sucked into this like quicksand, developing a terrifying fervor for the proper procedures of placing struts/supporting beams in order to reclaim the materials later.

There really is so much to say about why this game is a disappointment, but to keep things frank, they just didn't get the game to a presentable state before releasing the early access. I'll try to get to the game again once its fully released, but the trend of game devs releasing games before they are finished is getting old.
