Good:
Art design feels like death stranding
Graphics
Not P2W, great F2P experience
Responsive devs
Base building
Sense of progression
Group activities

Bad:
Bugs at launch (being fixed)
Seasonal reset after 6 weeks
Unclear endgame
UI and number of currencies can be confusing

hat game go brrr

Lots to unlock, runs well, balance seems decent. Dash feels really good. Crafting system could be expanded and more distinct identity with the weapons. Roadmap looks pretty good and overall worth the price.

good game. drill rock.

Things I enjoyed:
- Combat system
- Good base-building
- Rewarding progression
- Graphics
- Dying is consequential but not frustrating
- There is fishing
- Good QoL mechanics

Things you may not like:
- Lots of grinding
- Camera control (I didn't mind it but takes getting used to)
- Lots of walking in early game, improves with progression
- Upkeep mechanics (base and horse, but reasonable requirements)

Suggestions:
- More gameplay options re: camera control, minimap size, minimap markers
- List of active/online players in a server

I am on a PvE official server, solo. It kind of plays like a mini-MMORPG. Overall a promising game and I'm very happy with my time / $ spent on the game already, hopefully will get more development.

Definitely worth the price. Hopefully they keep up with content updates.

Edit: Still worth the sale price for a casual MMO. Lots of QoL improvements since release, one (almost two) new expeditions, and incredible art style but endgame is still lacking content for hardcore players that will hopefully change with the Brimstone Sands update.
