3d copy of rimworld, fun game that's rough around the edges (component breakdowns are way too common but fixed with mods)

horrible mess of balance and whiplash inducing progression where you get nothing for an hour then they dump the entire tier of research/modules/upgrades on you in one go

the constant need to manually repair the ship is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring, everything else can be automated why can't this

bullet reg/hitboxes are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ too, some enemy models can take a whole mag at point blank and there's no hit marker or your projectile will clip a metre away from an object that isn't directly between you and the target

infuriating experience

raft without the raft, sick

no structured story / endgame 'completion' yet but my god does it tickle the survival base building trains real good, easy 40-50 hour playthroughs though

The introduction of the third faction (Sony) has made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. Game was fun and the high amount of bugs/issues still not fixed since launch were tolerable but I cannot stand to see my fellow gamers in the virgin islands and elsewhere in the world be done dirty like this.

listen to the voices in the rock

kill god

Poor attempt at trying to copy Raft.

Finished the story in 14~ hours.
-Gunplay is not fun, ironsights are not fun and the constant darkness of the depots + fog are a terrible combination.
-Bugs include crash to desktop, getting your rope anchored to the void under the map (x3 times) and the multiplayer joiner's menu interactions being interrupted by other players crafting items.
-The island exploration is not fun and too tedious, travel is way too slow and there's just whole periods of 'nothing' as you depart/return to the train. The fish take multiple bullets from a well upgraded pistol to kill but they will explode well before you have a chance of killing them making it pointless to explore unless you're at full health. But if you're at full health it's so sparse between them that you'll fully regenerate by the time you see the next one so what's the point?
-Your narrator is not like the one from Stanley Parable, please stop trying to copy it.
-Rofleemos teleport around the train and block your path - not fun.
-Arena was boring and I feel like I'm at a major ammo deficit as time goes on which is not fun.
-Enemies scale up with armour and automatic weapons whereas you do not really match them in scale.
-Enemy AI is stupid, if you run at them and just go for point blank headshots they will mostly be stuck in a loop of "run away from the player" and don't fight back.
-Lost my customised (rare/epic/legendary components) gun after a death once where it just wasn't on the floor next to the rest of my loot, major buzzkill.
-Gatherer's station is nowhere near as good or effective as the nets from Raft, it gathers things way too slowly.
-Mines are not a fun mechanic, you're punishing the players for trying to pay less attention to gathering resources and instead focusing on crafting/research/weapon customisation. Honestly, no positive to them.
-All the nice train upgrades/decor are locked behind RNG and completing the little island exploration puzzles (of which those puzzles were fun).
-No one asked for a hunger mechanic, it feels shoehorned in because Raft had it (which made sense contextually) and is largely unnecessary.
-Parallel lines with the other trains is a fun mechanic but we didn't feel very rewarded after clearing a train (zero gear upgrades because EVERYTHING is a pistol frame or barrel) as the 2-3 bars and wood could've been gathered faster just playing normally on your own track.

The core gameplay loop of gunplay is not fun and the other loop of travel along the tracks is not fun. All you had to do was copy Raft, add guns and a train. At least the train whistle is fun.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sequel

you took the fun out of dying light and tried to make me listen to the worst writing and voice acting in video game history

FUN GAME GO FAST

my second favourite series/games of all time
