Early Access Review
Very british.

"Lovely day for it!"
"Fancy a cuppa?"

In all seriousness though this is probably one of the best survival, action & adventure games out there especially for an early access game as well already providing a good chunk of the story with plenty of side encounters to keep you intrigued for at least a few hours. The gameplay is also great; I don't know why people are disappointed with the combat system as it's fine. There are plenty of recipes for weapons, items and different clothing and overall there is plenty of things to do around each of the islands. It just goes to show that even an incomplete game can be fun and keep your atttention for hours when there are fun, interesting and stupid qwerky encounters.

Overall, I give this game a solid 9/10. Good job guys, keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing what the finished product will look like.

Early Access Review
It's exactly how I imagined it; yeah sure there are currently lots of bugs such as innacurate AI movements and slight physics problems but this game really is delivering what it's shown in its trailers. Unlike other survivals like rust, this game really makes you depend on the resources you aqcuire and without them you're just setting yourself up to be captured by the indigenous and killed. The features are brilliant as well; here's a summary of what I believe the cons and pros are of this game:

Pros:
- Lots of realism; survivals with realism really are great in my opinion.
- Stunning graphics; my current GFX card barely gets much FPS but I'm sure that's because I don't have the best GFX card in the world and it's about 2 years old.
- Gathering resources requires a bit more time rather than gaining resources instantly; prime example is chopping trees down for wood or sticks; love the fact you can't just put it in your inventory you have to actually carry the logs.
- Lots of different structures and you have to learn new abilities to create different things it seems.
- Requires creative thinking; combinations such as using booze and cloth to make molotovs which I find extremely helpful to fend off the indigenous.

Cons:
- Currently I think the indigenous are too strong; one hit from them regardless of your status seems a bit overpowered to me; makes melee attacks practically useless.
- The indigineous are too persistent as well; they attack far too quickly and far too often; I struggle to get past them because of this so hopefully there will be a difficulty setting?

Can't really think of any other points than that.
TL:DR; The game delivers what it intended to deliver with ease and is well worth the money it's currently set at.

A bit of advice to anyone who plays the early access; don't stay near the plane crash because that's the first place the indigenous will go to hunt you down.
