Your mileage may vary is the best way to review Eco.

Eco is not a consistent game in quality. It is one that entirely (not just highly) depends on which people you play it with. Unless you have an entire friend group willing to suddenly pick up this game and by chance all remain equally invested - you'll need to join a server. Assuming that's where most of us will end up i'll be reviewing the experience with servers.

It really is a gamble. It's not easy to hop in, see if a server is good or bad, and then decide. You have to invest a good chunk of time to even get a feel for your neighbors and how your gameplay is going to be. If they are great, Eco is an incredible game. If not, you'll be wishing you didn't even buy it.

Unfortunately without spending an extreme out of time it is hard to give a good review for the game as a whole. A lot of reviews you'll see of around 0-30+ hours are likely someones experience with just one server. So this review is just for the server I am currently in. Right now I would give it a 6/10. Remember though, it is a coin toss.

I'd buy it on sale and give it your all to find a good community to play with.
