Not worth the time.
Good first impression was going well but 10 minutes after reaching camp you lost me at not being able to dig into walls not being able to move placed items only being able to rotate 90 degress on placement and the god awful and repetitive combat. game devs are stealing a living nowadays. refunding

are there different enemies or just goblins? If there are different enemies do they have different attacks?

you see very few new enemies as you progress further its mostly boring goblins im not going to play anymore to progress further but the attacks are pretty basic nothing worth mentioning. its really not worth wasting time on despite wanting exactly this kind of game.

I saw a troll in a gameplay video before I got the game.

I care. Post was informative for me. So you're wrong. Maybe try to stop being wrong.

Firstly as you progress past the opening area the scope of the game also expands and you can do much more.

Second the game for me is really good. I love the idea of survival games but never have time for the scope of them. I loved this game because it offers a much more focused experience.

Each zone is like a new level. You have to beat each zone before moving to the next and each zone will gradually give you more things you can do and more requirements to fulfil before you can leave.

It is absolutely NOT a traditional crafting game and was never once sold as that. When this launched on Epic the devs were very clear about that and their intentions for this game.

I can appreciate your perspective and initially i must admit i was impressed but then i just felt it become more shallow, noticed all the things mentioned above and lost all motivation to play. There should be a minimum standard of things in games the simple things like letting me do the things i would like to do to enjoy the gaming experience but after realising i have paid to not be able to do any of it then its hard not to become frustrated at what is seemingly a conscious effort to limit the players control and qol. I am glad you can enjoy it and without a doubt my opinion is just subjective, however i feel the need to mention why i am unhappy to potentially save someone with similar dislikes to me the headache of wasting time.

I buy a game i play the game i dont expect to have to join communities discords or other platforms to get information that should be available either on the steam store page or updates feed. i wasn't even aware of the marketing for the game besides looking on the new games list by chance.

Come on you didnt leave the first area, im on that area too and its rough hehehe, things are dark, havent died yet but you are right the combat is janky at best.
My point is the start is always rough, play on story mode i guess, just to get the hang of it, i think i made a mistake going normal and not solo, but the game is gonna improve and become more complicated for sure, i just wish tools and weapons didnt break so easily, i still dont know how to fix things without needing to make new ones.

I certainly have not experienced all that the game has to offer but for me its the fundamental things that are lacking, its not something that is going to change. There is a lot that is done well and im sure they will add more later but as it stands i see no reason to continue. I am tired of having to invest in games and wait for them to be developed into a polished product or abandoned. i had no trouble with difficulty just in having fun. I also have since watched some endgame reviews and i cant say i am any more inclined to play than i was prior. i will likely keep it for now i have 2 weeks to refund but i doubt they will acknowledge any of my issues or implement anything game changing.

still struggling?

Struggling with the lameness of the 21st century too right.
If you class "nobody cares" as an actual insult, you need to get out more.

Never said it was a good insult nor that i care just that by definition it is in fact an insult. Anything else you need?
Oh look! Someone who didn't play for more than 10 minutes! You're like a goldfish, guy.

And the answer is actually 69 minutes but thanks for playing. Would have been longer had any of the things i mentioned been different, its nothing to do with my attention span.
