This really is a brilliantly well made game. Hats of the developers, voice actors and all involved.

I found the level design to be very frustrating. Some sort of map would be helpful

Recommend!

Great remaster of one of my favourite childhood games.

I stand with Mick Gordon - don't play or buy this game

Charming, Zen, Relaxing, Beautiful. The start of a brilliant little game that sits right in with titles like Stardew Valley, Don't starve and Subnautica.

A very competent little survival/craft 'em up. I've poured over 1,000 hours into different games like this and this one sits comfortably with the all time greats. A very impressive achievement considering it only released yesterday.

This game has a huge amount of potential and it is clear that the team have a wonderful vision in mind. The current iteration of the game is very enjoyable and I look forward to seeing further updates as they roll in.

I really do recommend this game and I do give it a lot of leeway given it has only just released in Early Access. I have a couple of little gripes with it but I'll update this review over time to check in - pros and cons below.

PRO
-Gorgeous visuals
-Awesome house building, very accessible and rewarding.
-Nurtures curiosity
-Can space out, relax and enjoy the game very easily.
-I am actually excited for this one.

CONS

(I think these will either be tweaked or fixed over time so don't let this put you off!)

-Enemies in caves spawn constantly until their nest is destroyed, this can be a bit overbearing and I hope they either extend the duration between enemy spawns or consider placing a max spawn cap on each nest.

-Overworld is a little threadbare at the moment. But it definitely plays much better than Ark did in EA.

-Simple crafting mechanics make the game very welcoming at the start, but the later parts of the crafting part of the game start to feel a tad grindy.

TL:DR - It needs a lot more work. There's a lot you can do, but no reason why.

Once this hits full release (assuming it does as it has been in EA for a minute.) It may well be worth the money. I appreciate that it is likely a small dev team working on this - It'll need a lot more time in the oven before it really starts to take shape.

Lovely concept though. Hope they continue to work on it.

This is a good game.

Barely worked on my rig. Had to refund. Alas.

This game has a lot of design issues.

Braindead AI make the whole thing seem pointless. The environment is drab and the timeloop concept becomes boring very quickly.
