much of the tuning in this game feels as though the numbers were picked arbitrarily. i would imagine the initial play testers were too busy dying to provide accurate feedback

-hunger and thirst are incredibly over-tuned. you will need about 20k calories and 5 gallons of water daily to survive, even resting at your base
-it takes two units of dirty water to create one unit of clean water, which by prehistoric standards is still a terribly inefficient method of water purification
-it takes two whole raw chickens to create one cooked chicken. you need four cooked chicken to stave off hunger for 15 minutes. all meat is like this
-you cannot eat raw vegetables ??
-you must sleep every night. if morning comes and you haven't slept, you will suffer max stamina loss until the next night cycle begins. you cannot sleep during the day
-aggro range is true to life. meaning, as soon as an enemy has line of sight it's game on
-chickens and cows will join in with goblins in an attempt to murder you. i like this part
-arrows always track and hone in on the player
-enemies by the third area can kill you in two or three hits, this is with max gear
-getting poisoned does roughly 60% of max health
-which pairs incredibly well with the big bad spraying poison rain in a 100 meter radius, once a day
-poison rain ignores shelter, and especially enjoys landing inside of caves
-your base will get raided or you will get hunted by goblins once daily. they do insane amounts of damage to built structures, though it is the player they are trying to hurt
-avoid aggro while standing in ankle deep water at all costs. you will walk like you have a turd in your pants and cannot dodge/roll
-the magic and ranged skills are still in development. you are unable to gain experience counting towards progression of the skill, despite using the aforementioned methods for combat. i am praying that there is an invisible counter which logs experience gained
-BLOOM IS ALWAYS ON
-if you go afk you will die. always exit to main menu

gripes aside, jagex did many things right. the gameplay loop is enjoyable, the runes are practically free and the spellcasting utility is goated. best part, it's the runescape universe. it has the jagex charm, the references had me soy-pointing

buy it

capcom moment

just go play dragon's dogma 1 instead

it's alright i guess
