Definitely recommend. By far, one of the best survival/sandbox games I have played. I love the talent tree and the character progression; neither being too easy nor too grindy.
Playing with friends is better than solo play in my humble opinion, but this game is very playable solo, too. I like how I can take my character from a private game and join someone else's server to play with them. In co-op mode, quests are shared, so you can have 4 people doing 4x different quests simultaneously and complete the game 4x faster, etc, if thats your jam. But also enemies are easier to beat when you fight them 2v4 instead of 1v4, for obvious reasons, so doing quests together has significant advantages, too. And then when my friends are offline, I can take my avatar back to my private world so I dont get too far ahead of them on the co-op server, but can continue to grow.
I am only level 13, but it seems like a complete game so far. Not sure why it's still in early access, but that may have something to do with some end game content that I havent reached yet?
