Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The Story seems fun, the premis good but the survival aspect is horrible. the share legwork to make a shelter to store items is mindboggeling. You can't do combat until you find a pickaxe as a bare minimum. Durability plummets fast finding…”
“This feels like a reskin of Crashlands. The controls are very wonky and carpal-tunnel inducing. The plot is something to hold your nose and bear. Getting 100% achievements requires multiple playthroughs, which is a pet peeve of mine.”
