This is the first game so far that I barely recommend. I ended up finishing this game with my friend, and he had a very rough experience to say the least. And, the reason why I barely recommend this is because the game has a lot of negatives, but the positives weigh more if that makes sense. [h2] Negatives [/h2] [i]- Game has save problems (whenever my friend is joining the world I always have to cross my fingers for him because there's a 50/50 chance that the game will revert his progress to a certain autosave) - Paid major updates (it's just inconvenient, plus there's a DLC where you pay for FURRIES, and also two out of the five classes are locked behind a pay wall) - Forced and unbalanced classes (the warrior class is without a doubt the easiest and best one to play as, the others are more of "little helpers" to the warrior in multiplayer, didn't buy the DLCs so not sure about the other two) - Unbalanced enemies (there are three bosses in total, of course, if you're not paying for the DLC, and all three of them are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ JOKE, the enemies and mini-bosses on harder islands take way more effort to defeat than the actual bosses) - No difficulty slider/selector (I understand that this game is meant for younger audiences, but as a guy my age, I also find it fun for reasons I will state in the positives, but in summary, the game is too easy)[/i] [h2] Positives [/h2] [i]- The Graphics (reminds me of a childhood game I used to play and the art style gives off an old school vibe in my opinion) - Progression (pretty fun and balanced, unlike the other sandbox game I will not name) - Other RPG elements (skills and talents are actually pretty cool, especially in a sandbox environment) - Building (didn't try this aspect out to the fullest, since my friend and I were mostly focused on the completion of the game, but I think it's cool, only thing I don't like about it is that the stuff you interact with are double the size of your body, like doors, workbenches and etc..) - NPCs (they're pretty cool, tho they're kinda made in a way a toddler could be able to interact with them, nothing wrong with that, it's just not a lot of non-casuals will like this)[/i] And, that should sum it up I guess. The thing that really pains me is that the negatives will unfortunately never be fixed since the developers stopped working on this game in 2020. Even the community can't fix up the game 'till the end, since the devs used their own engine, so modding is pretty much impossible. If you're either a casual gamer, or a father who wants to play a decent game with their kid, then go ahead, in those cases I could recommend the game a little bit more. But if you don't fall into those two categories then it's either you'll like the game or hate it, good luck.
