Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.
Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?
If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?
My view is in the comments...
Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...
About 5 hours in after finding it on gamepass. Its enjoyable, mind you I've just been upgrading my base and exploring to find new pals. There is a bit of a grind as is typical with these games to unlock everything. Would I pay more than $30 for this at this time? No, but for what is there it is quite enjoyable. Either wait for it to go on sale, wait for more features, or play if with gamepass.
As another user pointed out, it feels like My Time at Portia or it's sequal My Time at SandRock
It is $30 on steam. Plus 10% off. It's actually a fairly priced game with a good hook, and plenty of hours of content. Broken and clearly a little cheap, but decent and well priced to me.
