Stop doing build challenges and update the game

Good game, especially if you like Lord of the Rings; lots of interesting lore content and encounters, they get better the further you progress into the game.

Good to play solo on default difficulty, intended for a small group (there is a "solo" difficulty setting, but that's lame), but better with friends. There are very loose classes, determined by whatever weapon or tool you like to use the most, but this is only evident mid-game. You can be Beerman and/or Kegman and/or Lead Alcoholic by carrying around a giant beer keg to dispense beer. Hell yeah.
The better content comes later. Every new biome brings some kind of surprise that makes the game very enjoyable to play. It's especially good if you're a fan of LotR. You can see that people have come through since the fall of Moria, and I find that quite cool. You can simply try to escape Moria, or make the most of your situation and rebuild the place the while you're there, cleansing it of darkness and evil. You can go down quite deep, into the darker places of the world, and you meet what awaits you in the unknown horror of the Darkest Deeps.
If you just play with the aim of finishing the game, you can beat it in maybe 30-something hours, but to truly get your money's worth, I'd say go at whatever pace until you reach the Lower Deeps, then really slow it down. At first, the areas seem limited and small, but by mid-game, you realise that really is not the case. There seems to always be something new to explore, and if you get lost with where to go next, simply check the map and go to a place you haven't been before, and there will be something to surprise you.

Solid game if you like the genre, it is unique and I appreciate that for such an important IP like Lord of the Rings.

Very fun game, regardless of the piece of art it's based on. The combat is satisfying, co-op play with the ability to be racist to Americans are great features, and you really feel you're on the front lines.
The first gun you get is the sh*tty one from the movie, you don't even want to aim down sights with it, just point at bugs and fire. Just spray and pray, shooting all over the show, mostly on target ideally, like you did when you went wee wees as a kid, and hit as many bugs as possible, just recently doing damage to a bug when it dies counts as your kill.
The classes are of a good variety, two tanks with heavy firepower, two mobile operators, and two "support" classes, engineer and medic, each with unique firepower. I main sniper, and fly up high with my jetpack, set up ammo dispensers for me and the boys, and SNIPE.
I play retrowave music in the background, and it slaps harder than a Tongan mum's jandal.

It is in early access, but then new update called Carnage is something I've always wanted in a game. The bodies stay and pile up, turning into terrain. Your walls become covered in piles of bug bodies, creating a ramp for the bugs.

Extractions are epic and exhilarating. You often get overwhelmed and must extract early. You often won't make it to extraction, and there are no respawns during this time, making it an exciting part of a mission.

I now see the upside of having crabs

Feels like it was made in the ROBLOX engine

I changed the review to positive after trying the co-op, and getting into the game a bit more.
It was made for multiplayer. The realms are all online, and you can join your friend's "Abeyance" (home/respite) realm whenever you want, even while they are offline, as long as they gave you an Estate Card. The game-play is solid, a bit like a cross between (I don't like comparing games like this but here you go) Valheim, Enshrouded, and ARK, but first person. In a magical Victorian setting about "Realmwalkers." You get NPC followers that perform basic tasks depending on the tool you gave them, such as cutting wood, taking that wood and storing it, or fuelling stations. I only had to fuel my stations the first time I used them; my companion Rufus has done all the rest. There are cool effects on the realms you can do, like making it permanently sunny, even at 2am, or allowing you to jump higher and fall slower, PERMANENTLY, throughout the whole realm. There are other transmutations that do things like increasing damage of you and enemies, increasing damage you take in return for better loot throughout the real, etc. These cards do all sorts of things, and combine into different things. The deserts are quite barren but it's cool running across a sandy plain and seeing a giant stone obelisk rise over the horizon, then getting (pardon the pun) jumped by giant grasshoppers. (WE'VE GOT BUGS!!!!)

I recommend it, especially if you have friend(s) to play it with. There is a lot to this game, and a favourite thing of mine are the various sky-boxes. Some of them are so COOL. Like Valheim's Yggdrasil but colourful, magical galaxies and celestial bodies, or purple clouds, or a red blood-stained sky and evil moon.

My old NEGATIVE Review (Feb 2024):
It lags when I'm playing single-player. You can't pause it. It also has this frustrating Personal Data notice that you HAVE to accept or you can't play the game, it just shuts.

It's fun otherwise, though lots of work and quality-of-life for the developers to add, but lots of potential. It is still in very early access.

Objectively a great game, but it pales in comparison to the first one. Play DL1 until this one receives all of its due updates. It IS getting there, but slowly.

Aside from working at an abortion clinic, this is the best baby-killing sim on the market at the moment, and although there's not as much limb-chopping of corpses as The Forest, I'd still recommend it for the body burning and bone collecting.

The map is way too big for how populated it is with things to see or do
