After playing I Am Future for 8 hours straight, it started to feel less like fun and more like work.

I'll make a quick breakdown of my main issues with the game:

• Progression: Really slow and every task feels like a chore until late in the game.
  
• Movement: Just boring. Moving is too slow and it's hard to tell collision boxes for objects on the map. In a game where you're constantly going from one spot to another and dodging things, this gets old quickly.
  
• UI: Clunky and dated. Not the worst look, but inconsistent (for example, sometimes ESC is used to exit a menu and other times it's right-click). I feel like controls in general need an improvement.
  
• Building: Just “meh”. Setting up and moving things around could be more intuitive for this kind of game.
  
• Crafting: Needs an overhaul. The filters don't help much, and scrolling through many options to find something is a pain.
  
• Farming: Repetitive, demanding multiple boring steps.
  
• Gathering: Grindy, made even worse the by slow movement and the weird rule for certain resources of only moving one of them at a time.
  
• Inventory management: Messy. You'll often end up having to access multiple storages to get something simple done.
  
• Automation: More annoying than actually helpful. There's no automation for crafting, only gathering. The other two options for robots are virtually useless.
  
• Fishing minigame: Not gonna lie, it's one of the worst I've seen in video games.

I usually love games like this, so giving it a thumbs down feels really odd. The game is good, but it needs more polish. I'm gladly changing my review if things get better through the Early Access. For now, I consider it to be a “has potential, but not there yet” situation.
