Amazing

If you don't care about quest and lore you are in for a painful ride with this one. The game doesn't orient you very well so you often end up backtracking or googling what to do or where to go next. It's has decent ARPG mechanics but doesn't particularly shine in this department. Generic quests, generic bosses, generic zones, generic music, generic skills, nothing memorable. The game main menu UI is unintuitive and amateurish at best.

Quest tracking is cancer. Don't play until they add markers for objectives and highlights for quest items in your field of vision.

The game has lots of potential but the fun is ruined when you realise there is too many obvious bots. It's mostly a PvE game you could say.

This game is not really meant for solo players because you will have no chance against those 6 stacks no lifers that will proceed and track you, find your base and destroy it when you are offline.

PROS: Overall fun in group, Good controls, Good combat, Good house building mechanic, Good survival elements that are not too opressive, nice maps and graphics, the game keeps on evolving and the devs are very active

CONS: Terrible experience when zergs dominates your server, toxic and mercyles community, time consuming grind with the constant risk of losing everything in a offline raid, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ night time gameplay as you see nothing without turning on a light and people will kill you if you do, offline raids are a plague that is slowly but surely ruining the game, constant stress of connecting and seing that you lost everything when you were at work while no lifers stole everything you worked many hours for.

Boring and clunky combat. Archer far range kill because mobs heal themselves back when you are too far. Inventory gets filled by trash as everything is auto looted. The game in a nutshell is craft next tier gear, find next world portals, do boring fetch quests or ignore them as they provide useless rewards, kill a boss here and there, rince and repeat for 42 levels.

Queue time are too long. You often wait 5 minutes to get into a game only to die to random campers 2 minutes in. The UI is quite confusing so I ignored the stuff related to purchasing weapons or traits. This game is 30% queue time, 30% running simulator, 1% looting better gear, 9% fun action and 30% dying to a camper around the corner of an objective.

This game concept has so much potential but it is executed poorly.
