“So I got the game for me and my cousin to spend some "together time" in a game that reminded us of a singleplayer only game that we both love - SUBNAUTICA, and found myself in a space RUST. I got raided on a PVE server.…”
“I have about 6 hours of gameplay as of this review. This game has been fun so far. The only downside is when you get murdered by another player and lose everything. My suggestion against such a thing is making succinct…”
“To begin with I had a bit of scepticism about getting this game because of the mixed reviews, but looking at the more recent ones, they are quite positive, so i thought i'd give this game a go and seeing as this has…”

“Graphics, sound, music were all good. Not great, but pretty good. You farm flops, grinding them out either by killing mobs, standing in the beam areas, or finding them in crates. It's fairly easy to get hundreds, even…”
“Firstly, let me point out that this commentery only applies to the single player experience. I have weird hours, and I live in Australia, so I have a choice between no-one to team up with or truly rubbish play. So...…”

“Update: I had to change my review to NOT RECOMMENDED. Because of the horrible PVP snow area which you cannot change to PVE even on your own private "PVE" server. This is just plain ridiculous. No PVE players like the…”
“Game's dead, it's that simple: in a week of gameplay I might see 3-4 people in an official server. You can play solo or with friends, but for that it's better to use the Dedicated Server unless you want to farm for…”
“I want to recommend this game, but because of their original price, I simply cannot. This game is not worth $29.99 because everything in it is generic. I do enjoy the game, but to be honest, it doesn't do anything new.…”

“DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! No matter how tempted you are, no matter how much you think the good reviews might mean it's ok, IT'S NOT. The devs have abandoned it. There is noone on the servers. You can't save your progress.…”

It's got a little bit of a learning curve (Once you find out your 3d printer is everything, you'll be alright), but a friend and I were able to get some awesome times going. The Good: -Graphics are cool -Concept is amazing -AI…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“I really liked this game at first. I could easily give it 4/5 stars for story, mechanics and artwork. The way this dev team handled PvP in the early stage gave non-pvpers a fair and honest way to progress their characters in the face of otherwise oppressive odds. Until we got to…”
