Might well be one of if not the best game I've played.

The game can come off as confusing and aimless at first and the first time I played it I didn't really understand what the fuss was about. It felt empty and incomplete. I left the game for a couple of months and then one day had a sudden itch to play it again, only this time I seen it for what it is.

A vast unforgiving world that will chew you up and spit you out several times, a world where you are not special or have special powers, a world where you are just another piece of flesh just like every other NPC (except for the skeleton robots).

It's a game where you make your own choices and goals, want to be some badass Nomad with unrivalled skill with a blade? you can do that. Want to lead a group of you and be a bandit/Merc/treasure hunter/Trader? you can do that. You can even create your own settlement wherever you like, if you form it on faction owned land then be prepared to have factions soldiers come to your settlement demanding tax payments. Or other things related to the area you set up in like specific monster raids/bandit raids.

In this game you can lose your character in the drop of a hat, If you do lose your character then it's not the end as so long as you have another companion with you as if your "Main" guy dies you come the companion or your companion can get you out of sticky situations.

In this game there's no such thing as a "Main character" unless you deem it so. Each character can be controlled independently just like your starter character and do the exact same things. For instance if you suddenly get bored of using your main dude for whatever reason, you can just leave them somewhere safe, and with a food source so they don't starve to death and then take control of another character and set out on an adventure using just them. Likewise you can set roles for your AFK characters like farming land and cooking etc.

This game really is special and I have sank some solid hours in and after putting it down for a week or two I always feel like coming back to it.
