“OK, so if i could give it stars it will be 3 out of 5. i do not see 35$ value here, even some 7.99 games on android exceed it with options. This is the most typical sandbox/survival game you can find. Should cost 5 bucks at most. I guess…”
“The game is frustrating to navigate. Resource management is awkward. 4/10 at best”
