Remember that flash game in high school? This is her now.
Maybe you should've been nicer towards her to have a chance.

I love this game, I really do, but I wouldn't suggest it to my friends just yet, because it is truly still an early access game, which needs work with its pacing and some balancing points.

The biggest problem with the game is, that its mid-game is just too.....uneventful? slow? The average game lasts about ~2-3h depending on how you play it. I currently found that it's best to play on double speed always on and pause to read events. otherwise the game just drags for too long.

They haven't found yet good pacing for this game and combat is a little too simplified, I think they should add more variety than it currently has. Like different weapon systems, currently its all based on close quarters infantry, which is basically just making a task force of different buffs and just destroying everything on its path with supply drops.

The world is nice, and even tho its seems like a Settlers of Catan map as permadesert, they have found beautiful balance in how to make map not flat, but give it different choke points and movement corridors.

Sand worms sadly are trash right now, they are not danger. I think if they'd make them more randomized and actually give them purpose of hunt, then they wouldn't be so predictable and easily avoided.

The 4x part is done well, and everyone who is saying they think this game has too much things to do, is just used to playing games on one field at a time. Currently it is good that its not possible to dominate on every field, otherwise it would have no point in having different houses.

As a Shiro Games fanboy, I love this game, I'd recommend it to other Shiro Games fanboys, but I wouldn't suggest it to random people who like to play some RTS or Civ on the side just yet. It is clear that the game is still in early access, and needs some more content and pacing balance, before I could suggest it to my friends as a fun game..

It's like playing Bethesda game on launch day in its current state.

Animations are janky, half of the assets load in mid cutscene, etc.
Otherwise, for few hours I've played this, I'd say its going to be kickass game once its finished.

Buy it if you want to support the team. I did it, because I've been Larian fangay since Divine Divinity.
If you want to buy it only for the sake of playing the game, don't. Wait for full release.

3 years later, and now the game wont even start without disabling my cores on processor, solid game.

Lovely walking simulator in the land of death, oh, and you can craft, and hunt, and cook, just like you should be able to.

Best puzzle platformer I have played after Portal.
Puzzles keep getting more difficult and require alot more thinking the further you get. Also alot more variations in puzzle mechanics than usually in puzzle platformers Sometimes you start to overthink and can't see the simplest solution available.
Really beautiful scenery and awesome controls, would play multiplayer arena game with this engine.
Music fits perfectly to create strong atmosphere.

Ratings didn't lie, 10 out of 10, best gift I've recived in years.
