I've luckily put about 8-10 hours into the game playing so far. My friends and I have managed to find each other, and establish a foothold. We are looking to set sail soon after the servers come back up to get off the starter island. The first few moments of the game are very difficult and crafting is slow. But, like Ark.. it ramps up as you progress. We had reached metal tool tech, have plenty of people checking us out as we progress and are subsequently chased off or killed by our superior firepower. Gameplay: One game changing improvement after another and I am excited to see the transition into mid game and beyond.

The graphics are smooth. I have all the settings on epic without any drops in frame rate on a gtx 980ti.

The problems are connecting to servers and zones down. Last night there was a major rubber banding issue that was fixed. Most everyone posting negatively about this game is not patient enough to see past the launch day irks.
