It's like a haunted house but you can relive the nostalgic memories of growing up around alcoholics

The 2.0 update introduced a new biome system that is just plain ol' not fun.
The craftable item you need to withstand the biome's effect for a duration requires ingredients which are often only found in that biome (though you may very rarely loot such ingredients ahead of time).

What this leads to is a very un-fun session of "playing the border between the new biome and one you can survive in until you are able to get the badge that lets you just turn off that mechanic"

Very cool Fun Pimps.

If I could reliably prepare the item in the previous biome ahead-of-time, then I would at least feel like that I "conquered the elements" by being forward thinking. But now I just have wander the biome and hope that I find the correct ingredients and mining nodes needed to get the badge.

I might change this review if they change the biome system but I'm also just so soured by the skill-book system and how un-friendly the item economy is for playing with friends.

Tried to play with some buddies and we all basically had to play solo around each other with the exception of horde nights.

Shooting guns feels good
The Sparrow is fun to drive
Everything is very pretty

but...

The philosophy for the menu design (when and where to go for what you're looking for) is inconsistent.
The "On Boarding" process to teach someone "the game" is approximately 8 hours of gameplay.
When you die, it feels less like you "played bad" and more like the enemy "out statted" you.
Due to the game's age and the fact that it has changed so much: finding up-to-date information online about something you are trying to do quickly becomes a mess.
After a certain point, most of the game is played from either menus or from The Tower; this really degenerates the sensation of "being in the universe".

I have personal ticks about the writing but that's whatever

There is a bug with the attack animations by the enemies. I'm not sure what causes this, but the enemies will deal damage then swing. This greatly frustrates the fluidity of the combat system. Until a fix for this bug can be found, I must advise others to not waste their time with this otherwise classic game.

Shoot cowboy hah a

Solid, easy-to-pick-up game play. Love the level design and world-feel. The game is constantly being updated, so there is plenty to look forward to.

I love this game. Though it does require a big slot of time if I want to play it. It is not something you can "drop in or out of" and there are no "matches". Once you dip your toes into that water, you better be prepared to commit a couple of hours.

Really fun but I encountered a lot of bugs. Scum state if you wanna make it out alive.
