bored me

I'm not really sure what to think of this game. I like the look and feel, but somehow it is flat in gameplay. Not boring, but doesn't have a lot of depth to it.

You basically just grind through the areas for materials, unlock new inventions and upgrade your stuff, then grind again. Since you are upgrading your stuff, you keep coming back to the areas you already visited to dismantle things you couldn't before. Everytime you interact with the campfire all enemies spawn again. You can upgrade the tower later on, so they stay dead permanently, although I'm not even sure if I want to do that. What bothers me is the back and forth through the same areas multiple times.

It has a few quality of life features such as shared chests, so you don't have to run back each time, but have access to your stuff at every chest. It also works quite well on the technical side.

Overall I think this is a decent game, if you are looking for some mindless grind, while doing other stuff, or just want to have a chill time. I don't think I would have paid 20€ on this though. Keep an eye out for this on a sale. Currently available through Fanatical Platinum Collection Bundle for around 3€.

I played this game for a decently long while until reaching endgame, when my mindless resource grinding made me stop playing. Even so, I acknowledge this game as having brought me those many hours of blissfulness.

The thought of playing again now seems like returning to an old friend.
