“It could be a great game if more work is still put in. This review is based on the 0.7 Early access version of the game. The main thing to do in this game is build a vehicle to destroy other vehicles while exploring the…”

“Terratech Worlds maintains the art, feeling, and core gameplay of the original Terratech game which i loved so much playing it many years ago. It is a huge improvement of physics and tech building and paced well through…”
“REVIEW FROM A NON-TERRATECH PLAYER This is important, since a lot of the original negative reviews are comparing this game to the original. Played a few years back when it just got released into early access, I already…”

“You know? This is the second time that I really get into a game where you can design vehicles and pilot them into combat. Spend not just hours, but days, iterating designs until I'm happy with them. It is also the…”
“Nah, sorry. I gave this game multiple chances to prove me wrong… but honestly, it feels as far away from the TerraTech experience as possible. 1. Crafting Why… just why do I need to grind resources to build a base that…”

“Really enjoyed the demo, the full game is way buggier and performs just as poorly, can't recommend unfortunately.”
“game was fun up until the swap boss bullfrog would be 1 hp or near death then suddenly reform at max hp after a 5minute battle. once i can accept but after 3 times is just tilting and demoralizing”
“While I loved the original TerraTech, this just isn't it. The game is unstable and unfun. Overall the game is in a poor state.”

“It's fine when I play solo, but when I play with my friend (me as a host) the performance is so bad it made me wanna puke. I think it's because of the 1% low being so bad when hosting the game. Really can't continue at…”

“A great game with lots of potential I love the Terratech franchise passionately, there's just something about building badass planes, tanks, cars etc, and then driving them around blowing everything to kingdom come. Doing missions and killing outlaws, all that is so much more…”

The building is fun like the original with a feeling of progression being more present with a farm more interesting world BUT there is many of pretty major gripes I have…”

Mind you, the "wide as an ocean" isn't a compliment here, it just means the game's bloated, meandering and without any direction or…”
