There is a REASON this game is "Early Access", mainly that so many are broken or incomplete as to make it barely playable. Some quests do not provide needed items to complete the quests, and when the Devs finally patch the errors they're not compatible with existing save games, meaning you have to create a NEW game and play all the way through to where you were, only to find the NEXT quest does the EXACT SAME THING, or the Devs have added extra steps to a quest that you can't now complete. THEN we come to ENEMIES (both human and wildlife), where hostile animals won't attack you (the only thing that ever attacked me and did damage was a BEAR), they just run AT you and STOP ... literally less than an arms length away (I actually placed a single foundation square on the ground, AT GROUND LEVEL, put a campfire and a bed on it and went to sleep while three moose and a wolf were standing over me and woke 7hrs later with them STILL THERE). Overall it has good POTENTIAL, but there is a LOT more work needed for the game to be playable and enjoyable!!

For a game created by just two people at home, it’s actually quite good; it definitely needs further development. It’s exactly the kind of game I was looking for, but it still has many shortcomings.

Enjoyed the game. Got as far as the current ending. Didn't have any major FPS issues. It looks good. Containers should store more loot. Looking forward to having another play through in 6 months or so when more has been added.

[h1]Recommended, with some caveats from someone who's genuinely enjoying it[/h1] I see a lot of negative reviews for this game, but I'm having a great time with it. I took a short break because Enshrouded officially released yesterday. However, I'm back having a blast stacking resources. I'm in the process of building a multi-level storage facility next to my cabin to make resource management a lot easier. Performance has not been an issue for me at all. [h2]What the devs got right[/h2] [b]The bow and hunting are fantastic.[/b] The bow feels smooth and accurate, and the arrow drop on long distance shots is believable once you release. Landing a headshot on a deer and dropping it with one arrow is incredibly satisfying. I love hunting and gathering in survival games, and this one nails that feel. The gunfire sounds great too. I also enjoy gathering resources, exploring the areas and caves, visiting towns, and building. There's a lot here to like and it's clear the team put real care into the core survival loop. [h2]What could use some polish[/h2] [list] [*][b]Building snapping issues:[/b] Building is fun, but little glitches can break the immersion. When I built my starter house…

the game has a bit of a learning curve but very enjoyable

Pretty decent so far. Personally can't say that I've experienced any performance issues or bugs so far. Perhaps that will change the further into the game but for now, all seems good :).
