Very mediocre crafting/survival game that does some things right and some things poorly. The skill system that levels as you do any given activity is rewarding and makes things like chopping wood feel like it matters. The combat isnt exactly V rising but its a cut above what we normally get in these games. The game constantly annoys you though, the enemies represent significant threats to you for most of your time in any new region and they are everywhere. The game also has a habit of spawning enemies around you while youre mining or logging and on several occasions while building a house I was knocked out of Occulus by a band of enemies that had apparently spawned to raid me. A dragon will sometimes just spew poison all over the map while youre out exploring and its just annoying. The game has side quests but they are extremely underwhelming and the game really gives the impression that it has 1,000 under developed shallow systems instead of sticking to 3 or 4 well developed, deep systems. Its not a bad survival crafting game but I dont give thumbs up for mediocre games in genres rife with choice. Go play V Rising or Palworld. If youve already done that and really want to play DragonWilds then for $30 this is an acceptable option
