This game is beautiful and deadly! Challenging game, and also very rewarding. The building capabilities get really fun as time passes in the game. Elevators, vehicle, create a cableway across the map if ya like! Fly like a bird in the glider, scale steep walls. Too much fun available here. Gonna keep me busy for quite a while. Well worth the cost. Customization of gameplay is fun to explore.
Great game! I truly still enjoy playing after these years and the updates makes coming back to it more enticing.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

セールでも買う価値のないゲームでした。 二度と起動することはない
Es un buen juego con mecanicas prometedoras, quienes somos amantes de los juegos de supervivencias, sabemos que es complicado conseguir juegos de este genero, pero este en terminos generales es bastante bueno.
jeu intéressant MAIS le problème est le loot ou le farm qui est pour moi, très incompréhensible, tu coupes du bois et tu ne récupères pratiquement rien, donc tu passes ton temps à farmer du bois pour essayer de construire ta base et je ne parle pas de créer de l'équipement dans la base
Great game to play.
Игра супер, с нетерпением жду новых и больших обновлений!
Очередная кривая и по всей видимости мёртвая программа....
Во первых отлично идёт на steam deck. Игра эдакий Rust офлайн. Интересная игра. Отличный выживач. Немного трудновато на старте, особенно в соло, особенно с поиском гвоздей))). Но игра стоит своих денег. С массой механик и приятной графикой. Удивила смена времени года! Это прям круто. Разраб молодец, я так понимаю он всего один. Игру поддерживает время от времени. На всякий случай советую посмотреть видео по игре перед покупкой чтоб потом не писать: "Я НАИГРАЛ 3 ЧАСА И НЕ МОГУ ВЕРНУТЬ!"
Okay, here is my honest opinion... In my opinion, $14 is a bit too expensive for this game, and I don't think it's worth the full price. However, if you can get it on sale, especially for less than 50% of the price, then maybe it can be worth it. I think the game has good graphics and a nice dynamic world. But the biggest problem is that sometimes finding even one important item can turn the game into a complete nightmare. For example, you might spend hours trying to find a few pieces of Obsidian and still not find them. And honestly, that gets really frustrating... I personally don't play this game focusing on hardcore survival progression. I mostly play it for fun. What do I mean by that? I use cheats, make my items unlimited, and just build my base the way I want and enjoy the game. :) Another big problem is that if you are someone like me who likes to connect with the world of a game, even in single-player games, you might not be able to fully enjoy it. The game looks beautiful visually, but after a while, it can give you a strange feeling of emptiness and loneliness. The Hunter AI is actually pretty decent. Their aiming, movement, and shooting mechanics are really good. However, at the same time, they can also be a little stupid. When a Hunter is close to you, sometimes it takes them way too long to notice you, and the way they react can feel a bit unrealistic and annoying. My overall opinion: If this game was cheaper than $10, I would probably recommend it. But at the current price, I don't recommend it for people who don't have a lot of patience. On the other hand, if you really want to experience the true pain and difficulty of survival from the deepest part of your soul, then maybe this game is for you. 😂 The only reason I gave this game a Recommended review is because I personally enjoy playing it with cheats, making my items unlimited, and building my base however I want. Otherwise... ALT + F4 = SHIFT + DELETE = Peace of mind. PC specs: CPU: Intel Xeon E-2176E 4200Ghz GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P3200 6GB RAM: 32GB DDR4 OS: Windows 11
