The first week of playing this game was incredibly fun. The freedom of being able to terraform and create whatever you want out of your island was one of the things I was most excited for. On that aspect, the game did very well, but it came at the cost of totally bland residents and a gameplay loop that is the most dull its ever been. Weapon durability as a system is at its worst here, because it takes those permanent achievements AC was so good at and turns it into yet another expendable resource. Also recipes suck.
