The gameplay is boring. You can pick up stuff, you can eat, you can hit stuff. That's all about the gameplay.
The bosses have a nice design, but are convoluted to reach. This gets ridiculous the farther you get into the game's "progression".
The game's "progression" is confusing and you would not be able to continue without opening the wiki.
You will have seen 80% of all the bosses within the first 40 hours of playing. the other 20% will take 80 hours.
The music is good. But the two tracks might be a little lackluster after hearing the 20 second loop for 125 hours.
The graphics are nice.
The technical performance is nice.
The game isn't optimized for multiplayer (lags, performance issues, getting frozen in animations, Server start takes ages, you can crash the server by entering the caves at the same time as the host, etc.)
Attacks of bosses (specifically the newer ones) are not well telegraphed - specifically in terms of hitboxes. There are attacks, that can only be dodged/countered by arbitrary means (e.g. heatseeking missle). Sidenote: you cannot counter attacks per se - as the gameplay doesn't get that deep.
Survival is fun in the first few seasons. However, after getting to a "moonstorm" you will dread playing the game in the usual manner.
Also, the game is very stingy with button clicks. Your character will always prefer tearing flowers out of the ground before ANY other action. Additionally, your character also loves to eat seeds rather than planting them. And the fertilize click area is too small for any sane person.
I hated 66% of it. However, I will admit, that if you stop playing afer 20 hours, your 15 bucks are well spend. 5/10
Fair sidenote: I know deep down in my heart, this is a good game. But it's not a game that I usually play or enjoy. So although my rating is low - if you're into survival games and you like the aesthetic, you will have a good time here. Just make sure to stop playing at the right time and don't force yourself to finish it, like I did.
