Played casually with a friend and it was really refreshing to play something with a different style, I'm excited to see how far it goes and what new things the devs will implement.

super pretty and very relaxing. simple to do solo, but much more fun with friends

I don't leave reviews very often, especially if something is still in early access, but I had to for this. First and foremost... the bees are smiling... enough said. I'm just about an hour in at this point, but the experience has been downright delightful overall. I've barely claimed my own island which I could have probably done 30 minutes sooner if I hadn't been exploring so much and admiring the scenery along the way. That said, it's the little things that have made this an enjoyable experience so far. The wind first and foremost, if you're in a game that involves flying around like an air bender and piloting a literal island, the wind itself aught to feel like it has a presence. I should be able to feel the breeze through my screen, have a sense for the way it moves through the grass and the leaves, and I honestly get that sense. Even through the majestic music playing in the background, I can hear the whirs and whisps of the breeze as it passes by. Even the music itself adds a layer of wonder. When you walk up to certain points of interest, and the world around you seems to drown out save for you, the music, and the moment, you really feel like you've stumbled upon something special. The words of wisdom when you uncover a lost piece of history (getting research points) are whimsical and refreshing, like the civilizations of the past managed to leave a part of themselves beyond the relics of their floating islands. It's early access, so there's some quirks to the game for sure. The movement feels a bit... off? I've kind of gotten used to it by now, but moving around on land feels like I have a ball and chain attached to me, and as poetic as that is considering how smooth gliding through the air is, I've often just used my glider to get on top of something instead of outright climbing. Combat is okay. I didn't pick this up thinking I was going to be playing Remnant or Dying Light or anything extreme. It's fairly simple so far. I've only encountered one enemy that looks like a deep-fried mushroom. Smack it once or twice, take a step back to dodge. Smack it again. Rinse. Repeat. There's been a couple of times where there's, let's say, 5-6 feet between me and the enemy, and somehow I've still taken damage from its attack when it seems like I should have been fine. Maybe as the game develops, the combat will be fleshed out a bit more. (Maybe it's already in the game and I haven't discovered it yet, but I wouldn't mind having a bow and arrow). Overall though, nothing can compare to the feeling of putting my home island in motion for the first time. A few sails, rudders, etc, and I was on my way. It's like finding that special spot where you're going to build your home in Minecraft. I knew when I saw this island, I wanted and hoped that I could make it mine. I don't know how random the island generation is, if it is at all. This island was a step backwards from where the game kind of ushered me along once it first taught you how to use the glider. Straight ahead was a trails of endless floating islands, but behind was this lone floating treasure. Multiple tiers of solid stone covered in grass and flowers led up to a massive tree that I want to nickname Grandmother Willow because compared to every other tree on the island, it was absolutely massive. I'm not even going to try to find out if I could chop it down because it's the high point of my island, and directly below it are two waterfalls feeding into a central pond. I found the island had bees, and on closer inspection, they had little smiley faces. Compared to some of the islands, this thing is just massive, and I'm sure there are some that are far larger as well, but sure enough, I was able to claim it as my home. As I understand it, there's ways of transporting animals across islands, ways to plant crops and truly make your island a home, and I'm looking forward to losing myself in the game, becoming little more than a wandering leaf carried by the breeze.

I love this game so much. It's such a chill game, great for relaxing after a rough day at work. The updates keep making it better and better.

good survival crafter inovative gameplay loop. wingsuits and flying islands are fun

macht echt spaß und habe viel freude damit
