I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival

As many have said; this really feels like a grind. I figured I was getting close once I reached at a particular point in the game and it threw me more of the same thing all over again. At some point I just got so bored with the game that I just gave up on it. Starts out rough with very little resources, but once you get going then having too many resources becomes a chore to organize with the very little storage space you have for them. This is far from "cozy".

This game is advertised as a cozy/chill survival but it's not. This is because the upgrade paths are FARKED. You need metal frames to make a tempered drill. You need a tempered drill to open the area that gets you the machine THAT MAKES METAL FRAMES. Not so cozy. There is no way to get/make Foam Panels to progress logically or easily. It's far from cozy or chill it's aggravating and many upgrades are gate-kept. Don't get this if you want to chill out. It will frustrate you for no reason. And another thing - Steel Saw. You need a steel saw blade to upgrade to steel saw but guess what? you can only buy it at Agatha's store, which is fine except... Agatha's store is in a zone you have to unlock for 200 coins (ok no problem) BUT you also have to upgrade the Smart Tower to Level2. Well guess what you need for that? yup, 12 metal frames. See paragraph one. Oh and enjoy your 700-900 Wooden Planks you'll get every day and every night for no reason because you don't need them. You'll run out of places to put them. Go play something else.

This game keeps crashing then it corrupted my save file. It's nice to play when it plays, but its technical problems make it unfinishable.

I thoroughly enjoy this game, as much as it is a fairly slow start to get going (on a regular difficulty, I'm assuming the easier on cozier difficulties). Droid is cute, but honestly, the patch came to late for me to figure out how to utilize him efficiently. I think the biggest downside to this is that it feels finite. I'm aware fishing and the one landing at sea level keep it fresh, but after clearing out all of the space, it's simply too much to fill for an average person. I honestly wish there was multiplayer, because as mundane as it all is, I kept thinking "man, I'd love to play this with my Minecraft homies." But alas, thinking that, then realizing theres an end to all of the rubble you have to clear, it's like you know the game won't last forever. I still recommend it, if anything, it's fun to just vibe to, and after getting the hang of things, it gets easier to know what to do next (and enjoy the vibes when you have to wait). That being said, I wish there was a recipe book to unlock or something. Or at least a "tomato may not go with this, but tomato paste could" type of thing, because unlocking recipes is wack, and I've resorted to kimchi and burgers for ease, as trying to mix and match what does work isn't that intuitive.

It is relaxed but there is stuff that can make it challenging enough in the beginning.

This is definitely a chill, resource finder type of game. Even on normal mode there really isn't any type of threat you have to really worry about (like with Plant Crafter - I died multiple times at the beginning of that game, although this has a similar-ish vibe). I haven't really uncovered too much but I have been having a blast setting up my base of operations and (probably very slowly) figuring out how to make and update things. I would recommend but some of the tasks can feel repetitive. Looking forward to many more hours of noodling around rooftops.

i almost didn't buy this game for my steam deck because of the bad reviews it has but i decided to try it out and it works perfectly fine on my deck. I am really enjoying this game.

Very satisfying mechanics, wish it was longer.
