There's no music, the graphics are really basic, the English is bad, and there is barely any handholding - and you know what, I sorta don't care. All of the basics are there, the crafting is logical (so far), tools degrade, there is hunger and thirst. The combat with the slingshot is a little wonky, but the spear works just fine lol. It isn't the best game in the genre, not by a long shot, but I can honestly say I've played worse. Maybe this guy will make a much better game in the future, so I don't mind supporting him now. The negative reviews are all from 2017 and who knows, they might stand by those even today, so take a gamble or don't...

I am writing a new review for this game (old one still below) as I think it has changed enough to warrant this. This game is amazing. This game very bare bones yet still so good, it has everything a game could need (hunger, thirst, fatigue, combat, a bit of story, building, crafting) for a one developer game who started this as a project in high school, this is impressive, it puts to shame so many other survival crafting games, it has an impossible to describe X-factor. I always find myself coming back to this game after a long day of work, I continue to play it when I get the chance. Though it does have its glitches, the best part is the Dev cares, they may have fully released this game, and stopped development, but they still patch bugs, and answer community questions. I would love to see more on this game, and any other game this Dev might make. All the negative reviews before this one are citing the earliest version of the game. there is a tutorial, and all frame drops, and glitches mentioned have been patched out. I strongly recommend playing this game. Old Review: (I Love this game and I want to see it get updated again I'm very happy with the development of the ga…

So far playing this little gem of a top-down survival game I have honestly found it to be relaxing, fun, satisfying that grinding need & offers everything you would expect from a survival game.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
