I purchased this game back in 2016, and have played it a few times since. In terms of the game as a sandbox builder, it's pretty good, you can create a lot of really cool stuff, the game was obviously made to be as creative as possible, and it succeeds on that end.

Where this game fails, and has always failed, is anywhere outside of building and your creations. There is no multiplayer server browser, so the only way you are playing with anyone else to show off your creations is through a direct connection.

Also the survival in this game is not fun at all, and that to me is the biggest disappointment because you can make a fun super creative/builder style survival game, tons of games have done it very well but this game fails at the very basics, in that it's not at all captivating to play. The gist of what I've played of it is you run around, you hit crates with hammer and collect the items (individually, in the most annoying way possible where your cursor has to be right over it) Sometimes annoying enemies that aren't at all fun to kill come out of no where and you have to fight them. I played for about an hour, and beyond the blocks I acquired and a few wheels from smashing crates and finding chests in structures, I was no where near close to building anything beyond a small box hut, which is really dumb because that seems like the simplest way to get people inspired to continue to play, is to actually give them tools to construct and things to build or a reason to build it. And maybe the problem is that I'm missing something, and that could be, because there actually isn't any in game tutorial or direction given for what you're supposed to be doing in survival at all. The devs spent plenty of time working out a little guide book for creative and how to build things, but it doesn't explain what you should be doing in survival or a general direction at all for it.


After all this time, it's really disappointing to see survival in this state.
