Haven & Hearth

I have been playing this game for like 10+ years over on the main site. I reckon, despite the fact I play and love this game, I cannot recommend it. The player count is so low, it's a community of people that all roughly know each other, and they love to gatekeep their game. For example, someone right now walled in the only safe area on the map and uses watch bots to RDM people as they spawn in and try to use the shop. How quaint. Don't expect to ever be able to go toe-to-toe with these players either; they have a journeyman's knowledge of this game after spending literal years finding the most efficient ways to bot and powerlevel. As for the devs, they've basically been in constant warfare with these folks finding new exploits and ways to bloatmaxx their characters into infinity, more so than they actually make significant progress on the game. After playing this game long as I have, I'll tell you right now I'll attack you and steal all your stuff without feeling bad for one second, it's literally happened to me so many times. Most people don't like this. Unfortunetly I don't think many of the new Steam players will be retained.

after over an hour and half of figuring things out, i find there is not an wolf, or skeleton, or any monsters to kill whatsoever. maybe im missing somthing, but a game without that is severely lacking

Concept is interesting but its laggy A LOT of running back in forth to collect resources. Starting the firepit is impossible. I did all the things it said to do and tried other bits as well. Filled the firepit with branches, dropped branch on top of it. Light the firebrand, no matter where I clicked it did not work with dozens of failures. Looked up help articles. Nothing worked.

Very addicting sandbox survival MMORPG game. Pros: + Deep crafting system + Open world full loot PVP + Factions, communities, drama + Interesting character progress system (curios, FEPs, clothing. credos) + Music instruments Cons: - Highly addicting - Needs better toturial for new players - Permadeath (imo could be reworked to stat loss) - Snugglesnail

I have played this game on and off for years - it is incredibly depth-ful and so fun to play on so many levels, but I typically get so far and end up dead (permadeath in this game), so then I quit playing until the next time. I was surprised to re-discover it on Steam. I would definitely recommend this game to others - but keep in mind that permadeath, after investing a lot of time in building up your plot/homestead/camp, can be very, very frustrating.
