I enjoy the game. Great fun. Something that was asked for back in 2022 from just a quick google search was never implemented, could have made it a choice in server setup, for example. What am I talking about? Locked private chests, even from other clan members. I get it, you're in a clan, share and share alike. My problem is, what if I need to go away for a day or so, I leave some very important materials that are hard to grind/get for a build etc that I want to create/finish when I get back and a clan member takes them thinking, 'hmm, he's part of the clan, I can take those.' Maybe doesn't even think that they should replace them. I get back and my plans are scuppered but the other clan member is sitting pretty and can deny never taking anything if they so wish....get better clan members? Don't leave things in chests? Don't join a clan? Or just implement a lock system like every other survival game has done when it's been requested while it was in early access. So thumbs down for ignoring a majority of your player base.

A fun game. I believe it was very bad when first released? I'm guessing updates/patches fixed the issues as I didn't have any, apart from dying over 50 times, on normal, before finishing the game.

Another game added to the shelf to collect virtual dust and company to avoid because of shady practises

I was wary about buying this game(not a fan of Souls type bosses). The first boss wasn't so tough. If this is any indication of the game, then yes, I would recommend. Great fun running around exploring every area, finding chests to loot, rocks to mine, tress to chop and areas to dig. Some of the voice acting accents are cringe but, overall, passable. Nice artistic cut scene's. Enjoying the story so far. Annoying that there isn't any keybinding options and that the game is best played with a controller. Using keyboard and mouse is fine until it comes to having to jump in a certain direction or trying to cross a beam/tree. This would be made so much easier if I was given the option to bind the keys/mouse to MY liking. Hopefully they'll add the keybinding function in a future patch. Fog of war on the map resetting after a certain amount of time is annoying but understandable once you get to a certain stage in the game. Yes, I'm having fun, and it's another 'Early Access' game that is in far better shape than a lot of full released games.

A great little addition to the John Wick franchise. Only 4 hours in and loving the game. Turn based strategy. Some of the actual actors doing voice over work. Fun, Fun, fun.

Ignore all the DLC and micro-transactions and you'll find a decent game. Neither of the DLC/MTX are required to play the game.

A game I held back on buying on release. If I'd listened to all the naysayers I'd have missed a fun game.

Small pieces of the original game caught between a stupid 2d/3d platform, collect rings, avoid obstacles, while riding a skateboard or roller skates. If a third instalment is made keep who ever decided on the design/concept of this one, AWAY!

Was fun. A bit weird at times. Fairly easy to suss out who the culprit was early on. Still an enjoyable 6-8 hour murder mystery.

Update 2: After the initial issues I had with the game and persevering through them, the game has now become more stable and playable. It has turned into an enjoyable game that gives me that, 'one more mission/let me just finish this,' fix, that I like from games. I'm now willing to give it a tentative thumbs up. Hopefully they won't make things worse with update patches. The offline mode that they are talking about bringing in to the game will also be of benefit. So, if you can get past the first 2-3 hours of the game you will find the game has some potential. Give it a try.

Update: Servers seem a little more stable, now. We are still at the mercy of the developers and when they decide to do maintenance etc. The game itself? Still in very early access, or at least I hope it is. Reminds me of Rust, but instead of wolves jumping out of rocks I have PIGS jumping out of rocks and attacking me. The building is like 'The Forest' where you place part of a structure and fill it with materials to build. If you place more than one item at a time then the game decides what part gets built first, it seems. Traversing realms is a bit hit and miss on the actual time it takes to load. Anything from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.(this is on a M.2 ssd). The actual exploration and areas, what I've seen so far, are well designed. Again, issues with clipping that hopefully will get fixed. There are other small annoyances that you'd expect with an early access game, I just didn't expect it to be in such an early access state after other companies have decided to make early access games much more playable in recent times. I'm still not giving this a thumbs up. After updates and fixes I'll review it again.

I was loving the game. 6 hours in and then a 'NETWORK ERROR' disconnected me from the game. When I try to log back in, 'NETWORK ERROR'

I promised I'd give my review based on the servers, as of now, not worth a purchase.

I thought to myself, " This looks like a great little chill game to relax and play. " NOPE! It's probably not as hectic if you don't have Twitch Integration enabled, where's the fun in that, right? I love the game and it's narrator humour. Lots of little things you don't actually notice unless you go looking. Also, check the description of everything. Some time has gone in to explaining items/crafting/building etc. The tutorial is fairly basic and somethings I didn't realise I could do until I did. Over all, enjoyable. I will have to play it without the Twitch Integration to get a better understanding of how things work, but certainly had fun playing it.
