Early Access Review
POST WEAPONS DLC: Gun go brrt. 11/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although this game brings creativity to a whole new level, and is in theory a really good game, I would never recommend this game. I repeat, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Heres a breakdown of how I feel about the game.

Pros:
Awesome workshop creations
Really cool art style
Conceptually awesome game
"Dedicated" devs

Cons:
Inherently flawed game since it cant use an entire CPU's worth of power
Massive performance drops on lower end machines
Unplayable in multiplayer if one persons machine cant keep up
Most medium to large size creations slow the game to a halt
Devs focus on mass production of content rather than improving performance
Devs also say they fix things, but never really do


Unfortunately, it seems as though the general consensus towards fixing the performance issue is to get good and buy a better PC well above the listed system requirements. I run a 9th gen i7 and a 2070, and I cant get the game to have consistent performance even in single player. Therefore, I can only assume its the game itself. RIP stormworks, your potential is shot

EDIT: As of the 1.0 update, multiplayer does not work for me period, Ill get a good few minutes in before my client stops receiving data altogether from the server I join, and nobody is able to connect to my client.

Double RIP stormworks and their devs. Might be worth it to start from scratch and make sure the game works before they start adding features.
