Once upon a time I couldnt recommend this game enough, I used to try to get my friends and brothers to play and almost got most of them to try it. Now, I tell people to stay the hell away from this game and only touch it if they can get this for free or at the very least on one of the big sale days!
I had high hopes for this game in the beginning, it was easy to play, challenging occasionally and once upon a time had a semi decent multiplayer state.
Now though, after over 5000hrs put into the game the Devs have still not fixed any of the major issues. Opting to rather patch over patches thus every few months undo a patch they made and releasing a game breaking bug back into the game.
Multiplayer still sucks and is very buggy with more than 4 people and this is in a VANILLA Client hosted server...
On top of that even dedicated servers suck unless you Torch the sh!t out of a DS... WTF Keen!!!
There is still no legitimate Survival in the game after 6 years and even with the half a$$'ed block progression, can still be end-gamed within a day!

In regards to the DLC, if it was legitimate decoration blocks, you would not have included blocks that players could interact with beyond basic block physics. The blocks that are interactive should have been added to the vanilla state and not be hidden behind a payware wall! Besides these are all blocks that we have been pleading for since near the beginning!
Bad move Keen, STOP following EA steps!

This game should not be out of early access as it stands, hell, it should still be in alpha. Released status is for games that has the vast majority of ALL features WORKING!!! Not Game changing / Game Breaking updates!

@sham 39 ; He has a survival stream show on twitch, not like it's something that he can cancel randomly.

@El Presidente Hensley, I don't know what kind of a useless troll are you but at least don't try to spread like a tumor on all negative reviews will ya?

You play this game like it's a full time job, like 8 hours every day and you do not recomend it?

@Kev061 you seem like one of those people who loves commenting on issues that they do not fully understand but still acts like they're know-it-all. You don't need to "block" communications since nobody cares about useless comments. Try to be more productive next time, then maybe that way you may learn how to socialize (looks at his friends list and times spent on games... wow.... lonely aren't you? Probably because all the "blocked" communications :) )

@El Presidente Hensley It looks like you have some issues since I see you attacking every negative review with the same bs of an approach. You should try a more productive way. Because right now, to my eyes, you are just one of those trolls whose existence has no importance. Next time, try a bit more and maybe what you'll write will worth something instead of a basic useless text.

We all know you are a troll presidente, unfortunate there is no way to report people for the comments they make.

@El Presidente Hensley, Says the guy who has played 336hrs and doesnt know shit...
I played this game because at one point it was fun, I enjoyed the hell out of it and even tried to get my family and friends into it. I didnt experiance the majority of bugs that I saw everyone complaining about and I had ideas for ships I wanted to build. With the latest set of updates over the past year. I have slowly been seeing the performance drop on this game and have been drastically seeing an increase in the number of bugs I personally experianced...

Yes I wasted a lot of time on this game. I truely hoped that this game would have improved and had become a great multiplayer comunity game... But it hasnt and it has been making drastic declines in its progress. Not to mention the bugs the Dev team hasnt even been compitant enough to get rid of since day one of the games release.

@El Presidente That's a very wild assumption, I put nearly 5,000 hours on and off of steam on war thunder and very much hate that game. I also put in 500 hours on steam and roughly 1,000 hours off steam and hate this game too.

Must be very convenient for you to come in and constantly change and draw the line between what people enjoy and don't based on hours as well as what people know and don't know based on hours to fit your agenda.
