Changed from a No to a Yes... BUT with a lot of issues still. They are slow to fix bugs, but at least they are actually fixing them finally. You can expect any new map on official to be 70/70 and completely full for a month before you can get in without a struggle. Also the queue system doesn't work, to nobody's great surprise. As long as you aren't expecting it to function as end-game ASE just reskinned and instead pretend its a new hot-mess right out of the box, you aren't going to be as disappointed.

Game play is like L4D, only full of Thorin's dwarves given explosives they probably shouldn't have.

Aside from the frustrating camera angles, every once in a while gameplay bugs out, locking out out of any choices at all anywhere until you restart the game. Enjoy clicking on the same door for a solid minute and then watching the character run in circles, wow then this is great!

It's an excellent puzzle game, where ever puzzle is like Portal or Tangrams. In addition to just doing the bare bones minimum and solving the puzzles, there are additional puzzles within some puzzles to solve for people who really love challenges. The story is sad and amazing, but unless you are taking your time to poke your nose everywhere you might miss some of it!

It took a bit to get the hang of how not to die of hunger/thirst as you rush to make a raft. Gathering resources gets less tedious as you unlock structures that will do the gathering for you! No real glitches that ruin the gameplay that I have found.
There is a mysterious and great story hidden behind the radio signals that you follow around the ocean.
And best of all, you have your very own shark friend! (Shark friend may or may not want to eat you/your boat/everything you love)

A decent challenge. Not too difficult to beat, but also not frustratingly complicated. A guide is not needed on this unless you are very new to puzzle games. It only takes a few hours of puzzling through to beat the game. The graphics are a great plus too.

A great game! It's changed a lot over time, but every change brings great things or easy to adjust to differences. Explore the map as a nomad, carrying only vital possessions on your back or hunker down and stockpile everything at your base of choice (seriously, I keep everything, Marie Kondo would be so disappointed)! The story mode has improved with every update too, and has grown on me. And with so many challenge maps, you can always try some new mode.

A good game... BUT.... some annoying glitches ruin the fun. Sometimes items fall thru plates and just will not stay on them. Also they rocket off the plate and sometimes are never seen again (or found later in a corner). The recipes, if followed PRECISELY it still doesn't give perfect stars for some reason in the case of a few recipes... I had better luck going 'I'mma wing it!' and chucking things together than following them!
So if you don't mind disregarding all Food Health inspections and following the five second rule instead - this game is totally for you! (seriously.... floor potatoes.... why? STAY ON THE PLATE!)

This is only getting a negative review because of so many annoying glitches currently in the game. It is early access at the time of this review, and they have promised to fix a lot (so my review will get more positive as times go), but for now, I'd say hold off on this game for now.
The gravity of items is super weird. Drop something and you might never see it again, it might launch itself an impossibly far distance away, or you might place it inside another item without realizing it. The car driving is awful, and makes me motion sick as it gets sucked into a vortex of doom. And the beginning manual labor is SUPER grindy and not fun....
BUT.... the automation stuff does start putting a lot of fun in the game, mostly because you can afford to buy and build house parts at that point.
I wish I could review neutral on this game - but it will get better.

Best recommendation is it's like Stardew Valley meets graveyard simulator! And WOW, it's way more in depth for all the things you can do that I thought! It's a bit overwhelming diving in, but the casual beginning play for you to learn how stuff works makes it all manageable. I haven't even looked at the DLC's yet, but it seems to have great replayability for just the base game.
It's got a lot of repetitive daily grind chores to do, but they can be automated leaving you to advance the plot or directly improve your home. Tough it out til that point and a lot of the boring day-to-day jobs get way more fun!
