Very relaxing game, i had a very good time with this game, but it could be even better.

Positive things:
1. No combat, only the flora, oxygen and fall damage can kill you (the reason why its relaxing).
2. Galastropods.
3. You can play with friends (sadly my friends don't have good taste in games).
4. Simple mechanics and machines, but if you want the challenge build those crazy automated farms, you can also do that.
5. Whole backpack idea, you dont get a UI that you have to press here, it's just small slots in your back, just drag something, and put there, and OH MY GOD THE SOUND DESIGN IS FANTASTIC.
6. The hoverboard

Negative things:
1. The planets are repetitive, which broke all the magic that i was "building" inside of me for this game at the start, theres like 6-8 different agressive and defensive plants (aka flora), you would think thats a good number for each planet, the problem here is that its 6-8 plants across all the planets, so the moment you adapt to a plant in one planet and go to another one, you will probably see the same flora and will never die again. This also applies to the ores in some planets, since theres some of them that have the same ores list, giving no reason to go mining on new planets. So what would be the reason to change planets here? for unique gasses that are used on crafting and boring quests.
2. Although galastropods are incredibly cute and fun, they are also extremelly overpowered, at the start of the game, you have to put oxygen cables to navigate in the planet, or use a vehicle with an oxygenator, but when you unlock the galastropods that gives INFINITE oxygen and power as long as you have food for them, it breaks some of the experience you were having.
3. The amount of useless cosmetic items that fooled me at the start of the game, theres literally an cube with weird description, saying the integrity of the planet, and when you press it, it launches an orbital strike to the space, breaking the atmosphere and changing it, who would have guessed that it's just a "press me to customize the looks of your space". Theres another item like that that i found wandering arround, its a white neon ball with also a weird description, when you press it, it teleports and changes in shape, does absolutely nothing.
4. The boring mandatory quests, if you played the game you know what iam talking about.

Game is probably not for me, don't get me wrong, the problem here isn't walking a long time through places, its just that i didn't see much content, i dont need new things every 10 minutes to keep me entertained, but knowing all the new things im going to see are some new structures and a scary modified bear doesn't sound like im going to have much fun here, this game is probably for those people who enjoy straight challenges, knowing whats going to happen.
Another thing, *theres NO jumping* (in a SURVIVAL OPEN WORLD game) and the fall damage is no sense, you could be in a slop terrain, going down and you would break your leg for nothing at all.
Also i didn't get to play the story mode, it wasn't included in my game so thats why, but im sure its a good story

Game is not intuitive, teaches you nothing, just throw you there expecting that you learn something, you are obligated to make a server even if you want to play alone (even if its Dont starve TOGHETER, you should be able to play alone, since its a direct upgrade with more things than the other game), which if you arent aware, reduces your performance, since you are hosting a server, so its not 1gb ram but almost 6-7gb if you are the host, making ppl with 8gb ram like me not able to play at all

I had to put my damage on 200% and damage taken on 10%, while also using command artifact to beat this game once with mercenary because it was required to get a very good item, honestly the way how unlocks in this game works are atrocious, the good items being locked behind annoying achievements. The judgement trial is just like the simulacrum/eclipse from ror2, but here you cant change your moves to alt moves, for most characters this is alright since 90% of alt moves are horrible. In this game its not your skills and reflexes that decide if you win, but the game itself, if there is a one shot protection, i didnt notice, the mobility here is non existant, i can count on one hand the characters that are able to beat moonson without command artifact or modifications on damage (also hey if you are one of those nerds that got 2000 hours on a game like this and is going to tell me that every character is good, please dont do that, being one of the best players shouldnt be a requirement to play the game), also i feel like i should say this, loader grapple feels like ♥♥♥♥ to use, while in ror2 i feel like im playing another masterpiece inside a masterpiece just because of the grapple, its such a disserve what they did with loader here.

I will still play the game until i feel like its impossible to get said achievement

ALSO, THE GAME IS ABANDONED, I WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE BUYING IT

Do NOT play catfight if you want to keep your sanity stable

I already knew the game’s story, but I bought it and completed it anyway because the game itself has a lot of replayability. Not to mention the Kaycee’s mod (it’s official and included in the game, no need to download anything), which brings new cards, new unlockables, and even greater difficulty than Leshy’s cabin already had.

If I had to point out something missing in this game, it would be a longer main story. After Act 3, Act 4 only serves as a conclusion, but if they had tweaked some things in the storyline, we could have even had Act 5, playing against the remaining patrons. I’d also love to see a continuation of Kaycee’s mod, as it can only be played in Act 1.

Still, you can get a solid 30-50 hours out of this game. If you enjoy roguelites or just a good story, that alone is reason enough to play this masterpiece.

i still dont understand why the freaky stingray isn't considered the final boss

They absolutelly cooked with seeker, maps, and the musics, you can count in your fingers the good things, but the bad ones...

Chef sounds good on paper but its an overral annoying characters to play, it's just not fun at all.

False Son is pretty strong but EVERY SINGLE skill looks rushed, nothing you use really feels "strong enough", you literally charge your hammer with all your strength down to the ground to just see some little spikes appear on the ground, not even considering that you cant jump with it because it will make you get stuck in the charge animation and nuke the whole map when you release the button.

90% of the items were made by an AI because i can't believe that you are encouraging people to TAKE damage in a game where you can get easily one shotted by a rat.


Theres a long list that i could say but it would be just a headache just to think about them.

This is more like a childhood game, i do not recommend this nowaydays, i just saw that it got a new update but thats just a miracle that happens once in a year
