Great game to sink many hours in.

The game itself shows a promising base. Bugs are to be expected, since this is an Early Access release, and the game has plenty. Unfortunately one of the biggest problems is performance currently, but the developers promised an update soon which improves the performance significantly. I don't see that this can be the final performance improvement, it's lacking too much.

All in all, up to this point, the review would be a "Yes, recommended, if you don't have an old computer".

But then, what is the problem?

The reason I don't recommend getting the game in Early Access is: The game had a small, but serious, game breaking bug which basically rendered a lot of savegames unusable, and the developers are not very straightforward with this situation, lacking communication about the topic, lacking explanation why this bug can not be fixed in a way that broken save games can be corrected. Hence, many players are losing their tens or hundreds of hours of progress because they can't live with the bug. Of course those are mostly those players who play a lot, which are, coincidentally, those with the biggest knowledge, who help other players, who file the most bugs and suggestions. In my eyes, the decision to keep the communication about that bug so low shows a lack of the required respect for the players. And that makes me not recommend to get the game in Early Access, when the bugs are aplenty and support should be just around the corner.

Great stuff. Atmospheric and tense, exciting and lots of depth. Don't listen to all the negative reviews. This is an early access game, you knew what you were buying into. Of course there's bugs, the game isn't finished yet.

Every update brings me back to play sandcastles on the moon <3
