This is discord for geologists. This is OF for geologists. This is geologists' wildest dreams come true.
Lovely game for one of the most most underestimated professions.

If you value your time and you don't want to pay to win for a PAID game - avoid this "master piss"! It has tons of free2play pay2win games' tricks (like grindy mechanics witch wouldn't make sense in a "relaxing / fun paid game"). But if you're mentally deranged and your idea of fun is constant grind and wasting money (yeah, ubi fans, that's you)!! - go ahead and buy this ripoff of a free to play mobile game.
Lazy greedy "dev" tries to make the hit of the decade.. hopefully he fails.

Early Access Review
TL;DR: scammer dev steals games that customers bought years ago, Steam helps him

On July 1st, hundreds of users received an account alert, stating that "A Steam Product code you activated has been removed from your account" with the reason being: "Your recent Product code activation has been revoked due to a refund for this item." (2018 is considered recent in 2024?)

The "game" was bought and activated back in 2018 (it was sold by the dev on three different bundles). Of course, the reason of removal is bull-poo, and Steam knows it very well. Many people, myself included, opened support tickets about this issue, but everyone received the same generic answer: "Hello, let me check this for you.
The CD Key for this game has been revoked by the game publisher. This can happen when a batch of keys are stolen, or perhaps the key was for a beta game that has shipped and you'll need to purchase it."
But that was not the stated reason for the product removal!!! The reason was a "refund".

And it's not entirely the "dev"'s fault. Everyone knows that Steam is full of scammers. The real problem is that Steam itself encourages and helps these scammers, by revoking keys years after they have been sold. It's not normal for the devs to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, with the keys generated for their games (for free, no Steam fees). They can sell them as many times as they want, then revoke them and sell them again.
The keys should be irrevocable after 1 year. If they "got stolen" from the dev - it means the dev should have been more cautious with handling those keys.
In this case (keys bought in 2018) users have literally zero chances of contacting the seller. So, Steam, please review your policies regarding steam keys. You always say "Please contact the seller you acquired the Product code from for assistance" - at least give us the possibility to do that - one year is more or less reasonable, but longer than that the chances of contacting the seller are close to zero in many cases.

In this case I see the "dev" as a scammer, stealing a product from the customers that bought it, and Steam as an accomplice - blindly removing the product from the users' libraries without at least pretending that they have analyzed the situation (it does not matter if it's a $60 or $0.60 game - it's the fact that at any time someone could remove games from your library just like that).

I purchased the game for the second time to write this review, and won't refund it (for gamecount purposes); Steam should be proud of the 30% fee they got from me (that's 20 cents, considering the discount).

If you don't want to get scammed by this dev, never buy keys for his games. He'll revoke the key 4-5 years after the purchase.

A crappy game not worth buying (except for +1 to your gamecount). I wouldn't even consider writing a review, if at least achievements would have worked. But alas...

A small (about 195 MB) game highly recommended to all item collectors. Just minimize the game and enjoy a drop every half an hour.

Un joc foarte reusit, pacat ca nu e suficient de optimizat pentru cerintele minime (din cate vad din alte recenzii). Recomand, dar numai daca va incadrati la cerintele recomandate, daca nu - mai asteptati.

Unul dintre putinele jocuri de anu' asta, care mi-a placut. Nu stiu de ce multa lume il compara cu DL1.. daca voiam DL1 - pur si simplu continuam sa joc DL1 (daca voiam o clona identica - ma axam pe seria FIFA).
