NO SPOILERS REVIEW. This game was incredible. It was immersive, thought-provoking and at times, hilarious. A stylish twist on a compelling sci-fi story with amazing visuals and music, and a very rewarding gameplay loop which encourages exploration and playing through mistakes rather than reloading. I enjoyed that there was a way to recover from most issues that happened, and that I could do some planning ahead.

However at times it felt like the scripted events weren't very compatible with my exact playstyle. For example, some of the tasks had seemingly arbitrary steps which padded the time requirement, which became an issue towards the end of the game when I wanted to focus on other priorities such as base-building. I would strongly recommend this game for anybody who likes survival / base building games, and try going in as blind as possible to this experience with a good set of headphones.

Yes I recommend this game, but reviewing the game is less efficient than playing, so I must continue playing. You must also play.

Of course I'd recommend this game. 10/10 naming decision!

This is a really fun platforming and combat game. It's really satisfying to cut down the enemies and the boss fights were all really fun. It took me a while to realise how to fast travel, so I spent a little too long backtracking (and really struggled to collect all the cows - they will haunt me forever). The final boss fight was genuinely fantastic and I really enjoyed my time with the game. Thanks for the fun, team!

This game is a real one-of-a-kind, diamond in the rough kind of experience and an absolute 10/10 for me. I've tried and failed to get into many top-down RPGs in the past, and this is the first that I've properly been able to sit down and just enjoy without feeling like I'm in too deep. The art, animations, gameplay, and sound are all incredible and contribute to a fantastic 'snapshot of the world'. This world is immense, packed with story, and it is a pleasure to explore both the characters and the game world. The addition of complete voice acting was the final nail in the coffin to make this one of my top games of all time and I applaud the creators for this work of art. I don't believe that this game is for everyone, but as a tourist in the RPG/ARPG world I can say that I'm enjoying every minute of this experience.

Early Access Review
Very, very good for the asking price. It becomes what you make of it, and there is always a growing TO-DO list that will keep you occupied for hours

Very cool price for a fun, quirky puzzler. Will be keeping an eye out for any follow up games.

Very enjoyable. Although it took its time coming to PC, we also receive the bonus content and DLC with the base game which is a nice trade off. On release there were quite a few technical problems with certain PC builds, so before purchasing be sure to check the forums/discussions for your parts just to be sure that you won't have any surprises. The game itself is refreshing enough to keep you interested for the 5-6 hour story. The puzzles are about the same that you would expect froma Tomb-Raider game, and aren't challenging.

The story really shines with superb voice acting and deep characters. The gameplay itself is pretty fun too, with combat being fluid and enjoyable. Not a bad way to spend a few hours, but there are better games out there for the money.
