Before I begin the actual part of my review, allow me to address my thesis. Don't let my mere 19.8 hours of gameplay make you raise an eyebrow & skip over my review. It's fair to say 19.8 hours is enough playtime for me to have a valid opinion regarding this game. Not to mention the things I've heard about this game prior to writing this review. Yes, I'm an advocate for not letting another's opinion sway my own (just look at my playtime on Fallout 76). Just putting that out there. 🦌

Sure, the game, itself is decent. Fair graphics, alright gameplay, a wide variety of worlds to explore & avatars to equip. For such a basic game, it's got quite a lot to offer. But what's the catch? It's (arguably) the most important part of any multiplayer game, the community. It seems as if the worst of the gaming community decided to hop on this game & ruin its namesake (if it hasn't yet been ruined).

Ok, let's be fair. If you were born before the year 2005, chances are you've experienced some awfully toxic groups on the internet. We're talking online multiplayer games, chats, & pretty much any media. I speak for a lot of people when I say this game has one of the worst communities known to not only man, but any troll, brony, furry, weeaboo, & dare I say Discord Mod. Sure, I've had my fair share of decently cool users. But the number of toxic users I've met on this game is phenomenal. I've had a couple instances where I would find myself coming across some mentally deranged anime girl looking for another target to take her anger out on. If it wasn't that, it was getting blocked for little to no reason.

This game highlights narcissism at its finest, with approximately 95% of its users doing nothing more than standing in front of a mirror. I must also mention not to get too close to one of those mirror dwellers, they may block you. If they don't do that, they'll yell at you for getting too close. It really makes me appreciate (most) people aren't narcissistic to that much of a degree.

I think I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear than play this game. Walking out in the middle of a motorway at night & staring at a pair of headlights coming my way at 100 kmh is more fun than 5 minutes in a public instance. I'd rather wear rat trap underwear than play this game for any longer. Well...you get my point. The game's been ruined by the community. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a public highway to attend to. 🦌🦌🦌

This game is legendary!

I've wasted 6 years of my life on this game. It will forever be remembered by us, gamers.

It's a great game, and I have played it when I was a 12 year-old. The interface is great, the content is good, and the customization is outstanding. The graphics aren't the best (of course because it came out in 2004), but that is about it. My biggest complaint is the constant crashing of the game, I have lost a few good hours of building to that.
