Early Access Review
*SEE BELOW FOR REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS VERSIONS*

->UPDATE 1

After playing the first update, which I have been waiting for eagerly, I was left with mixed feelings. Old bugs were fixed but replaced with new ones. Useless tools were not given a use and more useless tools such as a single stud, yes, one singular stud were passed off as tools. Tools should reward the player for finding them, not leave them disappointed. However, the strongers additions of this update were cave systems, new characters/animals/monsters and new vehicles. The cave systems do not have much use and nothing in them unfortunately, but it is definitely a good start to something that could become so much more. They are sometimes found interuptting lava which is a very awkward sight and a pain to see for those who like to see well flowing terrain. On the topic of terrain, there are many more awkward gaps in places they shouldn't be, and the transitions between biomes has really become a nuisance aswell. As for NPC's and vehicles, I was very impressed. The additions in this update were exactly what i expected to have in an update with new creatures such as minotaurs and mountable elephants. However, aside from exploring and discovering everything there is to discover, the game remains bland.

Pros:
- Interesting rideable animals like dragons and elephants
- Large Diversity of Biomes
- Fun vehicles such as planes and drills
- Cool characters such as Vampires, Cowboys, Pirates, etc

Cons:
- Planes fly like Helicopters instead of like planes
- Useless tools like fruit, studs, and hammers
- Lacks focus, is bland
- Lego building can be clunky and frustrating
- Frequent terrain generation issues
- Collision issues

Verdict: 8/10




->ORIGINAL

People keep saying this is the Minecraft killer. I disagree. Minecraft will continue to thrive, but this game will too. It has a large amount of potential to be something great if it takes the right direction, and not trying to be better than or copy minecraft. The game is currently in Early Access obviously, so the game doesn't have that much to do yet. You can build with lego, explore an infinite world, discover new vehicles, characters, and weapons, and that's pretty much it right now. However, the game is a must buy. The investment now will be worth it in the future when the game's price rises. The game will only grow in content. The game plays very nicely and smoothly, but from time to time you may encounter terrain that doesn't merge together, but it barely affects your gameplay experience. The discovery of new things is fun and will currently entertain you until you finish discovering the majority of what there is after about 4-5 hours.

Pros:

- Interesting rideable animals such as Dragons, giant eagles, ostriches, etc
- Huge diversity of Biomes
- Useful tools such as Bazookas and rifles
- Fun vehicles such as planes, drills and skateboards
- Cool characters such as Vampires, Cowboys, Pirates, etc
- High potential

Cons:

- Planes fly like Helicopters
- Useless tools like apples and bananas
- Currently lacks a primary focus
- Lego building can be clunky and frustrating
- Occasional terrain generation issues


Verdict:

9/10
Has a bit of cons, but are minor and excusable since the game is in early access and at the time of this review, is only two days old. Game shows great potential and for its young age, is a lot of fun for a lot longer than one would expect.
