Smalland: Survive the Wilds

Conceptually, it's very cool. You can basically start hatching pets right at the very beginning. As soon as you get up the nerve to kill something, there's a chance of getting egg drops. They make hatching them in an incubator sound scary, like there will be "waves" of bad guys when you put an egg in, but it's not that bad -- there's just one wave of 3-5 and it's just more of whatever you're hatching. There's a lot of delight in hatching one of everything (especially when there's three of us to collect resources), we never know which critters are going to have inventory space, which ones can fight with you, and which are rideable ... dragonflies can fly with you on their back! The implementation is a little rough (more than a little frustration with pets getting in the way -- I changed the server settings so they don't take friendly damage and don't perma-die because of that). At first, the tiniest fall kills you, then you get glider wings, and that's the end of that (might as well turn fall damage way down at the beginning, because it's frustrating, considering how much time you spend trying to climb trees by jumping up mushrooms because there's no "climbing" mechanic). Once you get a few high-level pets, you're basically the king of the land 😉 The story is ... weak. There's lots of text, but basically no story. Each quest giver offers to make you a set of armor (if you collect a bunch of resources), and gives you ONE quest: go fight the local boss bug so we can figure out why they're being aggressive. When you've done that, they tell you nothing much, and send you to find the next quest giver. It feels like it's going to be short -- we're about 13 hours in, and my guess is there's less than 30 hours even at our leisurely "get every achievement, and tame every critter" speed. Having said that -- it's cheap on sale, and the first time you get on a critter and ride to the attack is awesome! My favorite so far is the gecko, because he's fast and does solid damage. We also have a green beetle with so much inventory space we named him "minivan"...

Enjoyed this game. Wish it was longer. Being able to build tree bases and collect your inventory right into your backpack was great. Could use more control when you fly your bird though. Like slowing it down instead of just take off and descend and land.

Bring VR version to PC, please!

Survival with as much walking in it as a MMORPG. Similar to Valheim but with good graphics. You can get wings soon if you don't skip the early NPC. Owned animals push you off a cliff and stand in your way when shooting a target. If you don't click Pet often they just leave. Can't fight without friendly fire. Have to manually level them up. Endless climbing of trees, but you can use dialog to teleport to them. Many resources available early but slow progress. A lizard twice as big as the PC drops only a single piece of leather, not enough even for a hat... Blocking is OP, wish I learned that sooner.

A somewhat hidden gem with good base construction and fun points of exploration.
