I wish I could give something between recommended and not.

Pros
- Interesting to use the bots to do your bidding
- Great way to get started programming
- Fun idea progressing throughout the biomes and destroying items to proceed further.
- Valheim inspired <3
- Building base and processing items and getting new stuff can be fun

Cons
- Lots of bugs with the bots. They get stuck, they will try to do something and fail forever (like pathfinding is really bad or they refuse to pickup item on the ground if it's further away than couple of meters lol)
- Really clunky enemies & mechanics
- Only 3 Biomes currently which can all be done rather quickly
- Not much gameplay currently (10-15h I'd say unless you wanna do a lot of building)
- Really ugly UI
- Some really weird gameplay mechanics. For example if you fall from a mountain and double jump right before you hit the ground you will still get full fall damage. So stupid.
- Game is not that hard other than game forcing you to fight bunch of enemies at once.

TL;DR; If you really like idea of programming bots do do your thingies at base in valheim inspired game buy it. Other than that wait until it has more content. Time/moneywise not worth 25€ but if you like a shorter unique experience get this one.

Game looks amazing and has great characters. I looove the 90s moomins but this game is a shell of that series.

Atmosphere & artstyle are amazing but gameplay sucks big time. One of the worst gameplay in a game I have seen in a looong time.

Also characters are super dummed down. Like "this character is evil", "this character is worrier", "this character is helpful". The 90s moomin series definitely DID NOT do this (for most of the main characters anyway). I loved the complexity and nuances of the 90s moomin series. They talked about tough topics (depression, anxiety, loneliness, ego) but not trying to dumb down everything to a 2 year old's level.

EDIT:

Also I was excited for "Melody of moomin valley" but it seems to mean the game has a few intruments you can play but as far as I played one instrument ALWAYS sounds the same (and boring). I loved Snufkin's harmonica in the 90s moomin series but I saw none of that awesome music, just some boring harmonica loop. Maybe the game will play some tracks later on (intro song was great). But as for couple of hours nope.

For the gameplay what really doesn't work is that the game introduces you to the core mechanics very early on and never really evolves. You use the same gameplay all throughout the game and for 2.5 h I played I never saw any change in how gameplay works. You just go around spamming one button on everything you see. Does it sound fun? Well it's exactly as fun as it sounds.

Okay this game has me pretty split.

Positives:
- Great fun when you get started
- Nice progression (once you understand some key mechanics)
- Factoriolight automation!
- Some exploration too (but it's not main gameplay)
- Spend some nice 12h that went fast but now I feel there isn't much but grinding left.


Negatives:
- Sometimes confusing progression (sometimes you get stuck because of some mechanic you didn't realize is vital to the game or a place you wanted to explore later but the game doesn't remind you)
- Really, REALLY limited space for building automation
- Moving buildings is really annoying. You can "move building" but if you want to move them to another island I don't think it's possible. If you setup iron miner in one island GOOD LUCK moving it to a new one.
- Finding and mapping items & machines can be quite confusing. Much easier on factorio
- Automation is sometimes too limited (what settings you can choose, what resources you can use)
- Sometimes I just don't know how to optimize my automation. I know I have to but I am clueless how. I don't really get this feeling in factorio.
- Combat is rarely that difficult, mandatory or fun, especially in the end. Bosses can be hard until you unlock abilities to make bosses piece of cake.

TL;DR;
Nice factorio light gameplay with severe limitations. If you don't mind spending 20€ on "new" automation/exploration experience give it a shot. Not that lengthy of a game.

The OG popularizer of the survive get tonna upgrades 2D game. Not the first of it's kind but definitely the most successful in terms of fame & glory. Cheap and fun for hours. Def worth it.

At first I thought this game has potential but it fell short on execution. Well it still has potential but it is starting to seem like devs are blind to post-game care. I don't think many major bugs will be ever fixed. Devs please prove me wrong. But I lost all hope for this game.

Really fun and great game. Campaign is veery short. It took us abouts 3 hours or so?
So I wouldn't pay 30€ for 3 hours but if you can find it cheaper (like 5-10€) consider it!

Shooting zombies feels amazing in this and it has many fun guns. Only thing I hate about it is that many co-op features are locked to "Host only" and weapons and ammo loots are not shared, creating this chaos thinking who deserves what.

It's as good as they say. A true gem of survival games. It has deep progression, lots of items, places to explore. New and interesting mechanics (like sailing is better and more realistic). It also does not feel like an early access game at all. Well worth the money even now.

This is a truly different game in my eyes. But it doesn't come without its problems

Pros:
- Amazing world
- Really solid quests & characters for main quests
- New gameplay elements
-- weapons like smart weapons
-- Hacking

Cons:
- Like all open world games a lot of glitches
-- There are game breaking ones on this too. More than usual
- Some gameplay design was clearly rushed
-- Cops spawn right in front of you. They don't drive in from afar like in gta.
- Some quests can be rather simple for CD Projekt Red quality (compared to witcher for example)
- Overall doesn't quite live up to what you could expect from the hype

That being said I am glad I bought this game and I enjoy new mechanics & the world & the lore. I will definitely get back to this game later once I get bored with it since CD Projekt Red promised to fix the small annoyances.

This is probably my all time favorite DLC <3 Love it!!
For slight spoilers: Super interesting story, you get to do pretty cool things, strong emotions <3.

Very short (around 2 hours). Really repetitive puzzles (mostly match 2 things with partner). Saw a lot of weird options (Reduce input lag option off by default?) and graphical bugs. Not recommended
