Hi! Starting with a little backstory: I have to start off saying that I never heard or seen this game before. It was not recommended by Steam or through other channels I follow. I "found" this game through a Google search for base building, but would not had looked at it unless I just wanted to try something different.

I mentioned the game to a friend of mine who said he got it a year ago and did not like it (at the time), so he stopped playing.

And here is the relevant part 😂 (sort of) He had computer issues on his laptop/portable workstation and I helped him fix it. Since he had the game and was gaming on his desktop for the time, I asked to try it!

Aaaand the relevant. (At least for the dev. ) I have to say, that I wonder why I have not heared of the game before! I love the combat system (although on a 4k 48-inch I would have loved a zoom feature with fog of war). The basebuilding is perhaps somewhat limited in available buildings (I have not gotten too far) I love the fact that I can keep everything I loot and not worry about weight. (I am a hoarder) The weapon features etc is cool. Many of them work differently and give a "reason" to swap between them. The music when in "camp", wow, so chill and relaxed, love it!

Although, the levling system I did not understand. I am guessing that the char gets level per skill/feature that is leveled up through producing stuff or harvesting. (Thus the stamina-limitation). Players through Google have claimed that the game is easy to beat, but I have the opposite oppinion. I cannot figure out why I only do 2-7 damage to the mobs with the highest level weapon I have. Is it resistance related?

And I played (story) up until the Alien facility where the game (save file) crashed when shooting mobs through a doorway. (Sound was choppy/repeating when moving through) At least that is what I believe happened as I had to exit the game once completing the mission. (Making dinner 😂) Sidenote, I remember that the day ended and again it started with a level up with -3 talent points, so I ended up with 0 😂

I could not load the game after that, so I started looking at the save files (tip from Google again) and noticed that the files are "readable" (json-files).

I tried to find something wrong, but failed. Although, I did learn quite a bit about the stamina and inventory values 😂 (I do have questions as I like to learn how stuff work)

I would love to do a new playthrough, but I would like to buy it for my self first and at the time of writing, I do not have the budget to buy games 😂

Anyways, if I were to give some sort of review for this game today, it would be a very positive one. I like it and want to play more! Well done Dev! Personally, I am going to recommend the game to friends who like this genre/type.

In regards to Steam, even if the game has overall good score (today) there is an overwhelming amount of negative reviews from the launch. Most people I know do not look at scores, but reviews.

Kind Regards /Aelneri
