was really good but locked a lot of new decorations behind a paywall now after last big update. and this game is 30 dollars... its not just a dlc to buy its each one is bought ingame with credits. thats right a PAYED game has bought in game credits. purely disgusting. other than that the game is great lmao

I can say i played that game quite a lot, i don't really care about marketplace tbh, i understand that dev need income, but the game being early access still after so much years and adding a cash shop is quite bad, early access is just a way to say "well game have bugs but it's on early access" but it's old enough to add a cash shop... I don't really car about the cash shop because i don't intend to buy anything, i don't really care about the skins of items, but man those prices are steep, 5€ for a canoe skin, come on...

Quite interesting game where you have to consider the environment whilst trying to race to a high enough developed society that you can manage to take care of the looming threat of an incoming meteor. With the implementation of governments and economy, it becomes complex enough to keep a larger amount of players going. I would probably not play it alone, it's meant to be a cooperative experience.

7 players, about 6 weeks, 1 (almost) rage quit, many disagreements, conversations, compromises, unwritten rules and established laws. Lots of communication, collaboration and plenty of time committed by all to the grind. Asteroid done. Decent game, loved the detail in the environment and leveraging the consequences of your actions against it. Hunting animals to extinction (trout went extinct half way through), pollution, planting more trees, sea level rise etc.. Building your home and functional buildings, upgrading materials, managing a balanced diet, and establishing supply chains with friends. Down side, it's a grind fest. Unless you tweak the server settings, give you selves more time, faster skill point accumulation etc it will be tough as you are just a cog in the machine. The skills you take may change this slightly and the combination of those skills affects it greatly. So choose wisely. Again, this is from my perspective, playing with a small number of friends on a private server. The skills them selves were not as diverse as I expected but enough to keep us busy as we each covered about 5 or 6 professions in the end, doubling up on a few. Starting out, it's hard to see a progression path before you. As we started out on a private server with just friends it was easy to communicate and plan what we were going to do to cover professions needed to get going. This also made it easier to play as we knew we could expand (especially relevant to farmers) without random people coming and stealing our stuff. Point being.. it's achievable with a few friends as we proved and with some server setting adjustments perhaps even fewer people but I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much on a huge population public server. You could argue that we missed one aspect of the game, the politics. Honestly I can live without that here. We elected a mayor, enacted laws, held votes, discussed issues and made changes. Things I can only imagine would be a nightmare on a public server detracting from the main objective. Would recommend the game with the declaration that having completed it I don't know if I could come back to it anytime soon, certainly not with adjusting some server settings. Spoiler: Completing the objective and destroying the asteroid was underwhelming (I hope they change this). Save the game before turning on the lasers, then let the timer run out to give you an actual sense of closure to the game.

Lets put these Mixed reviews to rest. If you want a minecraft experience. Go play minecraft! This is similar, but with more consequences. chop down all the tree's? guess what, you done messed up, Hunted all the bison and Crab? guess what? they made like the Tasmanian Devil and are extinct! This is not a easy, happy go lucky game, You will struggle, You Wont die, and you will end up pulling hair out trying to figure it out, BUT and there's a big but. Get afew friends together. Learn together, Build a community and shoot asteroid out of your planets orbit Freakout over the last turtle And re-plant tree's like your greenpeace [whales not included] Tis a good game, Dont complain over a game thats not like another, praise it for being different, for being awesome
