“It's genuinely a good game. but it's overshadowed by bigger titles like Minecraft. it's also slightly clunky in a way, still a fun adventure. 9/10”
“i like the Character options, creativity of bases, combat is a little repetitive, progression is good, aesthetic is fun, i wish level cap was higher than 30 (I haven't got to level 30 yet but want the level cap to be…”
“I always wished Minecraft had a lore, a quest, or a more linear styled gameplay. I never really enjoyed mindlessly mining in hopes of fighting the Enderdragon, only to not find any diamonds or enough enderpearls to make…”

“Overall, a solid game. It feels like a mix between Minecraft and an light RPG. The building aspect is fun, though not nearly as deep or extensive as in Minecraft. The visuals are beautiful, and the different buildings…”

“Perplexity told me about the game being similar to another of my favorites. 10 years late to the party but finding the game laden with adventure and surprises. Totally engrossed in the gameplay although at times I have…”
“surprisingly this is one of the best games i have played in recently memory, maybe even ever... lol if anyone likes looter mechs like legendary / unique gear, infinite boss farming with raid bosses that are respawnable,…”
“I got my almost 20 hours of playtime in two long sessions, with only short bio breaks and one night of sleep - there are benifits of being unemployed lol So, obviously it is a definite recommend. I can't believe it was…”

“It's really not that engaging nor rewarding... The gameplay cycle for me currently is spam shift everywhere, rolling continually to go faster. Find the biggest enemy, eliminate them, get shards, open portals. Pretty fun…”
