The Story seems fun, the premis good but the survival aspect is horrible.

the share legwork to make a shelter to store items is mindboggeling.
You can't do combat until you find a pickaxe as a bare minimum.
Durability plummets fast
finding resources isnt the only thing you also need to research, and if you research wrong
you crippel your survival and progress.

I even dropped difficulty to easy and it was still annoyingly "hard", hard being wrong word here
it should be tedious, it was so tedious that even if i got it for a few bucks on sale i requested a refund.

And to put things in context i usually play these type of games on highest difficulty.
be it V-Rising, Conan Exiles or any similar games. And while hard on max diff they are not tedious.

some might love this game, but for me it was a horrible boring experience.

I do need to give this game more of a chance, but man, a survival game with heroes to unlock is a bad mix in my opinion. But that is not my problem, the controls and UI are unintuitive and clunky. I started playing, and it said to rotate view with 'Q' and 'E', which I thought was odd, but the top down view indicated to me that it should be played with a controller, and that does fix camera interaction, but then selecting gear, creating anything, or researching is a nightmare. I do not know how this game is supposed to be played. It might work better with a flight stick, IDK.

Looks intriguing, but the gameplay is terrible. While playing, I had only one real question: 'What is the purpose of playing?'. Had refunded.
