Caveat: bought on sale. It's a fun survival crafting adventure exploring taming game with dinosaurs. It's reasonably easy to set up a server to play with friends, especially if one of your friends will willingly spend hours debugging the server after every update. Death can seem unforgiving, but the leveling system and simple crafting means you can quickly gear up even if your previous gear is at the bottom of the ocean surrounded by megalodons. There are interesting and bizarre mysteries to solve, especially if you don't read a bunch of spoilers. Valheim with teknodinosaurs and guns, sure, but only after you tech up to the gun level.
