Absolutely spectacular survival sandbox builder game.
Story is great fun.
Tons of amazing QOL for the fighting/gearing/building aspects of the game.
It did take me a while to get over the bug aspect of it because I'm very easily freaked out by bugs irl.
But now I'm ok with it.

Absolutely superb game.
Story, Music, Combat.
The whole thing.

Played it to the credits on gamepass, then bought it on steam to play through it yet again while doing a completionist run.

Fantastic game.

Does take a while to twist your brain in to the math required for it, but the game eases you in to it quite well.

Arguably the best MMO out there and one with an absolutely fantastic story.

TLDR: If you like ARPGs, very big recommend. If you've never played ARPGs, still a good recommendation, but bare in mind it's still in development/early access.

I played most of my hours at early access launch. Only just now dipped back in (a few months before season 2 at the time of writing)
-Fantastic ARPG that I have very high hopes for.
-Already tons and tons of fantastic content to play and enjoy.
-Some things are straight up better than poe/poe2
-^that said, they are a much smaller indie dev (and they don't have a decade of experience like ggg does)
so some "jank" is to be expected but it does not lessen the experience to be had already.

Fantastic fun and a good free to play portion. And options for in game purchases seem very reasonable.

Launch day review:

I've been waiting for this game since it was released on console. So I had my hopes up pretty high.
I was mainly worried about the quality of the PC port, and luckily it's pretty good.

There are some minor technical issues/hitching that occurs every now and then, but luckily it's not that common. I do have a 5700X and a 3070 Ti, so a pretty beefy machine. I get around 90-100 FPS with pretty high settings (though only in 1080p).

The game itself is fascinating, creepy, interesting, intriguing, fun, engaging, challenging, rewarding and just in general a really fun time. Usually I watch lets plays or streamers play games, but for this one I really felt like I wanted to experience it myself. I did get some minor spoilers, but nothing that would detract from the experience.

Highlights for me at the start are the movement and shooting with the dashing, and the different types of weapons/alt-fire options you can have, besides loads of other stuff you can make your runs very different.

I'm hopeful they patch out some of the rough spots in the future, if they do, it'll be even more enjoyable to play than now.

Absolutely fantastic game with so many amazing ways to build your ships.
Incredibly solid for an early access game.

If I had to mention something negative, the quests get a bit dry after a while (like 30 hours for me), but they have tons and tons of areas they're gonna improve in the roadmap, so not worried about it at all.

Very easy recommend if you like building stuff/spaceships at all.

My first Souls game.
The start was really rough, died dozens of times to even the basic first bosses, but after that, it's been great.
Fantastic game with tons of stuff to do.

Only downside is that it's poorly optimized and also has occasionally drops/stutters. Hopefully they keep fixing those in the future.
8½/10 (would be 10/10 if the performance wasn't quite so bad)
Written on the 29th of April, 2022.

I was really skeptical after seeing some streamers play this.
But damn, it's a really fun game.
Especially for this price, very easy recommendation if you like slaughtering literally thousands of enemies with varying weapons and upgrades.
