Replayability?
I dont know much about this game but looks great so far. I wonder if it's "complete the game and stop playing" style or it's more like survival with lots of things to do around

I wouldn't call it "lots of things to do" and it definitely isn't a game designed to be played indefinitely. But there is some incentive to go on after finishing it, especially if you have a completionist streak.

The question was if it's fun to replay.
Some people dont care about achievements.
If you do all the quests and side quests too- is it fun to replay the game from the beginning after that?

The question was: "I wonder if it's 'complete the game and stop playing' style or it's more like survival with lots of things to do around". I believe I have answered that, otherwise the OP probably wouldn't have marked my post as the solution. That said, I'm happy to answer follow-up questions. No need to be rude about it, though.

The environment isn't randomized, nor are the quests. You can't make any choices in the quests either, except for one choice right before the ending. Currently there's a group of 5 side quests that you can fail, which might give some players an incentive to try these again in a second playthrough, but these quests aren't designed very well and will be changed on way or another.

Some players enjoy the game enough to play it several times. Personally I don't see the appeal, as you'd be doing the same things as in your first playthrough. Perhaps if someone rushed through their first playthrough, a second one where they actually explore all the islands and catch all the fish might make sense - but then again, you also could do that just by keeping playing your first run.

I've seen players go through the game several times in order to optimize how fast they can get 100% completion in a run. That's obviously an option to extend the game's longevity, but I wouldn't call that "replayability".

If you have further questions, please ask. :)

Thank you :)
I wasn't trying to be offensive. Words dont translate well into text.

Yeah, thanks. In fact I meant both but primarily wondered if it can be played for a long time, not just campaign since it displayed this game as similar to The Long Dark somehow. But yeah, also thought of alternative as if it is only campaign is it still fun to replay/what's the benefits of replaying. That answers my question, thanks x)
