Surviving Skeleton Island

Very poor controls, and the view of where you are going is awful.

Its not a bad game but it does need some work. The fishing is impossible. The movement is weird, not crazy about it. It has potential though. I'm giving it a positive because it does have potential and in hopes that the dev reads these and tries to improve the game from our feedback. I would like the ability to close stuff out with using escape, most games do this so it is an automatic response to trying to close out of inventories or readings. I would also like to see different modes, an easier mode for those of us who prefer a more relaxed gameplay. Not everyone wants their games to be difficult. I do like the variety of food you can get but it also seems like I am mostly gathering food and eating or drinking and then its night and i need to sleep. I really like the look of it, please take our feedback into consideration.

Valheim is one of my all time favorites so I had to give this one a try. Unfortunately everything just felt a bit clunky using a keyboard/mouse. Picking up items was difficult (I'm more a fan of using the mouse for general direction but hot keys like E for interacting with things and getting to menus). The third person view just felt very clunky. The initial combat was very underwhelming (no real blocking or dodging, just keep swinging and hope you have more health). The scrolls for beginning tips was an interesting idea but having to manage them in the inventory was a pain (just delete them after reading automatically with a menu option to re-read?). Interacting with items (wood, stone, plants) was the most annoying piece to me. The escape key not closing things was another user interface type complaint. I know it's EA so I'll come back in a bit and give it another shot. Still a great effort for a passion project. I'd say just focus less on content now and more on polishing it up.

Abysmal. Anyone should be ashamed releasing a game in this state.

A game worth playing.

Good Game.
