Scrap Mechanic

I've got 103 hours of playtime from this game, and will certainly put more in, so that's a Recommend from me. There's things I absolutely love, and things I don't. And the developers have historically gone 2+ years at a time without any communications with their playerbase whatsoever. I feel like this game is either *so* for-you that you can overlook the developers' lack of communication and the game's slog-like pace, or you won't get even 10 minutes of enjoyment from it. The Survival Mode is the thing that keeps me coming back to this game. There's a big world (made even more dynamic and full of life with the 1.0 release) to explore; and Scrap Mechanic makes me truly feel like I'm living in the world. The fact that I can make a mobile base is really what sold me. It is truly up to you to decide how to play: your imagination (and will to keep playing) is the only limitation. Relatedly ( / however), the game's pacing is very much tied to *you* -- what you're able to think up and then spend the time to work towards. For example: you will need to cut down trees and refine that scrap wood into more complex parts. To do this, you could cut down trees by hand (Valheim style), or construct a vehicle with these capabilities. But to do this you need (a) the reagents to craft the various components; (b) to have spent the time gathering those reagents (fighting through simplistic, fairly copy/paste mini-"dungeons", chopping down trees, mining stone, going to crafting benches, etc.); (c) understanding of the underlying game systems to engineer mechanisms that actually *work* properly (e.g., how the sequence of unexplained circles in the Controller must be properly manipulated and connected to produce the desired movements); and (d) the time, patience, and stamina to actually build the damn thing. Sometimes I'll go hours-long play sessions just fiddling with components and connections or staring at my half-built arm-lifty-drill-thingy trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to connect it to the vehicle itself. There are some stretches of playtime where I am simply not having fun. But then there's an awesome payoff when the vehicle I engineer actually f-ing does what I want it to, and then I feel like I'm that much closer to achieving my goals -- largely trying to thrive in this hostile yet somehow cozy world. It's a lot! On both sides -- there's slog and there's enjoyment. And there's going years without hearing from the developers and thinking the game's dead. Watch some videos, see others' reactions, etc. before buying it. But you may just have a great time.
