So, this has become my all-time favorite game now. Is it flawless? No. Does it work great? Potentially. Is the price too high? Not in my opinion because a person liking this sort of game will get every pennies worth of play time out of this game... and then some.

The game is still in development and gets updates on a fairly regular basis. It's continually being improved. Some things may not function as great as they could possibly but, they do work good... and, getting better.

Basically, if you're wondering what this game is like, think of your childhood--if you ever played with toy vehicles outside in the dirt. It's like that... my days as a youth playing with "Tonka" toys in the yard. Only, it adds to that with mining and production chains--to refine the materials you mine--taking it to a whole new (adult) level. You can also build structures to make your mining setup as complex as you want. The world is destructible and you have the freedom to shape, mold, or build / tear down the world however you like. Or, you could just go to work mining and get rich--in the game ofc, not RL.

Pro's:
Works great even on a mid-level gaming PC--assuming a person has optimized their system ofc.
There are many machines and vehicles to play with.
You can save your progress whenever you want and there really aren't any time restrictions. If you don't like the dark / night time, simply skip it by sleeping on a bed--purchased in game store.

Cons:
Some vehicles 'might' be considered a little overwhelming with the amount of control functions. However, it's not really a con unless a person is just wanting super simple controls maybe. It's a Pro if you like more life like machinery controls.
Dirt physics could still use some improvement. It's a bit sticky right now. I expect that will be improved as the game is developed. So, this 'Con' might be irrelevant when newer updates come out--after time of my review.

*Danger* There is a slight possibility you will lose money in RL from not going to work cuz you got sucked into the game all night long... only realizing you need sleep as the sun was coming up. It's that addictive (for me) lol.

I'll try and keep this review more relevant--by updating as the game does.
