Buy this game. Best $20 I ever spent, and should be worth way more.

This game is an asbolute masterpiece. The amount of detail and thought put into this game, content-wise and gameplay-wise, just bleeds through that this game was a labour of love. I've been a fan of unknown worlds entertainment from their Natural Selection games, but I had no idea this game existed until recently. I bought it for myself for Christmas, and I haven't stopped playing it since. The fact that such a small team developed this game blows my mind. Half the AAA games from big developers don't measure up anywhere close to this game. The best way I can describe this game is this way: If you've ever bought an early access game, and had such high hopes and dreams for it, this game is all those dreams come true.

Even the basic concepts of this game are genius to me. It's an open world exploration survival crafting game, WITH a story line. That's a hard game concept to balance properly, yet they managed it brilliantly in a way I haven't seen any other game do. To progress through the story, you must explore the beautifully rich and expansive enviroment, learning everything about the new world you've just crash landed on. Through this exploration, you gather materials which you can use to craft gear, which you can use to explore this new world even further. Knowing nothing about this game going into it, I was so excited everytime I realized there was an entirely new and amazing aspect to the game. This happens over and over throughout the entire game, but I don't want to spoil anything. I think it's best you know as little as possible about what this game entails going into it, because it will constantly surprise you, in the best way possible.
