Wayward

highly customizable hardcore roguelike survival. I don't usually review early access unless it's confirmed (or as good as) to be dumped, but this one might never get a so-called full release. updates are constant though, the developer is active and there's already more on offer here than in many other finished titles. unfortunately, even completely dumbed down it's absolutely not for me and I can't be bothered to look into workshop stuff or tweak things myself, but there's a web demo of an earlier version on the dev's website if you're interested. the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic too.

This is an absolute miserable game. Play this if you hate yourself.

Still updating all these years later.

Very fun and hardcore game for those who like them. Lots of discovery mechanics and lots of learning from mistakes to be done.

Wayward is far from perfect, but I have come back to play it time and again because it's a fun casual game to play. I'll break it down. The Pros: 1. The pixel art is super endearing 2. The dev(s) are still releasing updates, so every couple of year I come back to improved QOL, new mechanics, and a better gameplay experience. 3. I just love a game that lets me build out a farm amidst of a chaotic survival situation. The Cons: 1. Starting a new game as a newbie is brutal. You will die, get frustrated, rage quit, seriously get confused about how sticks work, but if you keep at it, eventually you will have a sprawling base, farm, tames, and maybe even some practically indentured merchants (there's no village mechanic yet, but we can dream) 2. The UI can be a bit wonky at times. It takes some time to understand how to map the hotkeys and sometimes everything will stop working because you accidentally clicked a tiny icon and didn't realize it was a thing and it will take an hour to figure it out... Wikis and AIs will be almost no help, because there is little written community content for the latest UI releases. For a tiny dev team, it's a brilliant build. I seriously hope that other…

chill survival, lots to do, dont get too side tracked
