Edited 11/28/2024:

When this game first launched it was a complete mess, had made false promises to its content and was just a scandal in gaming at the time.

Since then, Hellow Games slowly and steadily clawed their way back from their wrongs, and has become a much, much better game. My initial review was a negative but now I feel it deserves to be given a positive not just for what it offers a new player coming to the game's experience but also for the years long, humble effort that the devs made to reverse their mistakes.

That said, the game isn't perfect. They could improve some aspects of performance but it overall is a solid game for those who like exploration, base building, and the ability to customize the game play experience per their caliber of play and play style.

I hope that they continue to work to better the game and that they take the lessons they learned from this one and apply it to their next intended game Light No Fire as well.

Congratulations Hello Games, you have redeemed yourself, at least to me. Something that is a rare thing in the gaming world.
