Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Edit 2026: I last played in 2018, and bought it in 2014. After twelve years in early access, the core game feels almost unchanged. Visuals still resemble a stock Unity template, systems remain shallow, and meaningful iteration is difficult…”
“meh. the world is always bland and empty. even the simplest of stuff takes 500 years to do, cooking stuff in a smelter/forge feels like 2-3 minutes. I played this game in 2016, and it feels the exact same besides graphics. lazy devs.”
