Wow that difficulty spike - or I'm just getting older lol.
Still good fun and excellent fun with friends - prepare to go on stupid epic journeys all over again!

Still 5 stars.


Old Review:
Wow - this game has sucked me in real hard. Didn't think of myself as a fan of survival games until now.

Here is what I like:
Deep crafting system, but not overwhelming.
Huge map with lots to explore.
Some big difficulty spikes - but very rewarding when you conquer them.
Bosses to beat, and different "biomes" (i.e. distinct regions with different enemies and resources) give some structure to what is 90% open ended adventure in an open world.
Graphics are beautiful - low res textures but spectacular lighting and depth of field give it a distinctive look and feel unlike anything I've ever played.
Music is chill.

Amazing: 5 stars
