Starting Life In Another World Naked

(Review posted as of July 8th 2023) TLDR; At it's core, seems really interesting although probably a game worth waiting on/buying to follow the work being done. Game is definitely interesting, although it has some growing to do. At time of review, I had played roughly 50 minutes and got stuck at a particular part of the "first steps" Could this be a bug? Perhaps. Is it me not being able to figure out what to do? Very high chance. All in all, the game is an interesting concept and caught my eye pretty quickly on the store. I normally like to try indie games over larger titles due to the innovation being put in the development process. Are there some mechanics similar to other games of the same genres? Yeah, it's inevitable to have similarities, especially when you find a game that has almost everything you like but something about it rubs you the wrong way, making you look for something else that's close, but not quite the same. Pros: -Character customisation is quick, while still being able to make yourself unique -Gameplay at it's core is interesting and engaging -HUD elements (although a little cluttered) show almost everything you need to know Cons: (most of these will be little things about gameplay that, odds are, will be added with time) -Optimisation: A big ticket to talk about in many games, but there could definitely be some work done here. I was getting ~20fps on low-med settings. -Some items don't have complete tool tips on how to use (Glass Jars for example) -Repairing items. I couldn't figure out if there was a way to do so, or if there was another crafting station required. -Building. Building a base was a little too snappy, requiring more precision to place things the way you would like (fitting walls to foundations) All in all, it's a game that I sincerely wish to excel. At it's core it intrigues me, and I want to continue playing, but with the current optimisation it's a little tough. If development and the strides to improve continue, then I'm sure it'll become a game worthy of recommendation, but for now it's a yes simply for the "Hey, keep an eye on this. It looks pretty decent and should improve."
