I loved this game when it first released on UE4, but since moving to UE5 the game is no longer fun. It crashes randomly when unboxing items, moving weapons, attaching parts, there is no autosave so your progress is lost. And the developer has increased the time it takes to level and progress into fun schematics meaning that lost progress makes me not want to re-do it every time it crashes.
When the game first came out, I could play for hours with no issues, the mines worked for collecting ore, the smelter worked and the anvil actually felt like hammering, the new UE5 minigames feel lifeless and boring. Click when the bar enters the green zone is just not fun engaging gameplay, especially when half the time the green zone doesnt even register. The trees no longer show progress when cutting them down, making me second guess if i was doing anything at all until it suddenly fell over, while still showing "96%" health.

My advice, scrap the UE5 work and go back to the alpha build in UE4 and expand that. Or at least make it available for those of us who want to play more than 5 minutes at a time without a crash.

Ever since i purchased the game, I've enjoyed every step its development it has so much potential in it and what is to still come in the future. I absolutely love this game! I'll gladly wait for the full release even it it take more then ten years.

Fun bit of game. Frustrating that it crashes a bunch. There are also numerous amounts of bugs. I try to send feedback reports and surprise it crashes the game lol. Sometimes you buy things like schematic books and you go to open them and they disappear and cook pots etc. Hope they fix it because when it works its a fun little game with alot of thought put into it.
