For an "early access" game, Necesse blows a lot of fully published games out of the water. It's not just good, it's *startlingly* good. We play together as a family, and so we've played a ton of co-op games. This one ranks as one of the best ever, period.

It has a roughly Rimworld style settlement system - clean, easy, convenient. The battles are tight and smooth, with fun and intuitive combat. Lots of quality of life features baked in - I didn't feel the need for mods, though modding is apparently easy. Lots of cute aspects, like cosmetics, deco, etc, that look good and felt satisfying.

We played through at a fairly quick pace, and it took us almost 40 hours to get to the end of the post-game content. It was a blast the whole time. Personally, I loved the building side of things (I'm a Rimworld fan) - designing the town was great! (It's not as comprehensive as Rimworld, it's just that rough style)

All in all, not only recommended, but a full 10/10 for me. It did exactly what it's supposed to, and it did it well.
