Does it have everything for every scenario? Absolutely not. Is it still the most efficient, easy to use tool for the things it CAN do? Absolutely. I pushed off this purchase for months because I wanted to wait until more came out for it, but after having a look at the tool, as it is now, this is worth 5x what I paid for it, and I've already purchased it for some of my friends.

As a GM, this is one of the most valuable purchased I have ever made. Inkarnate and other tools have absolutely nothing on the ease of use and effectiveness of this tool. It is limited mostly to Cities/Towns, Forested areas, and seascapes, but holy hell it's so worth it.

Review:
THE GAME:
Hardcore Survival - Beasts of Bermuda is a hardcore survival roleplaying game where you play as one of 18 (with more on the way) different dinosaurs, from groups like Carnivores, Herbivors, Aquatics, Semi-Aquatics, and Fliers. There are no AI dinos(except some small food dinos), every single dinosaur you see is another player that has their own unique arsenal made to survival, and even kill you. This game has a very steep learning curve, and you may spend the first 10 hours wondering why you're dying so much, but after some time to learn how to interact with your chosen dinosaur, other dinosaurs, and the world, you will quickly learn how to survive to adulthood with almost absolute certainty on any dino. This game is a HARDCORE survival, it is not for the faint of heart. You will spend 8 hours on a dino only to have it die in 12 seconds of combat. Don't lose hope, however, there is a revival system! Join in, bring friends, join a group, be creative, screw around, and have a good time. This is no dinky survival-craft, it's hard, it's scare, but it's thrilling as well.

Chill Roleplay - If Hardcore survival is not your cup of tea, and you're looking more for relaxed gameplay, and just want to roll around on some fun dinos, there are Chill servers. These servers have lots of rules, but are intended for players to experience a more relaxed and roleplay oriented type of gameplay. Less risk of death, more time exploring the land and interacting with other dinosaurs. This is not my cup of tea, but it offers a great experience for the players that want to jump in and play the game, but not worry about losing all their progress all the time.

THE STAFF TEAM:
This game is the lovechild of a passionate development team that is constantly in contact with the community through their discord, listening to the community, providing updates, and asking players for direct feedback. There are plenty of examples of the players being unhappy with certain things/updates, and the developers listening to that feedback and making changes to help people better enjoy the game. This is the most impressed i have been with a development team I have ever been, and it reminds me of the level of activity you might see on large private servers for other games, with constant activity from both the developers and the moderation team. I recently joined the moderation team for this game after spending hundreds of hours enjoying the game. In an attempt to keep this review neutral, I will only speak on my experience before joining the team. Before I joined the moderation team, I enjoyed the moderation and development team. I constantly saw them in game playing their own game, and had the pleasure of both playing alongside them, and fighting against them. This is what ultimately spurred my decision to apply to join the team.

THE COMMUNITY:
This is a hardcore survival, if you are the type of player who gets angry and rages, then you are going to experience a very toxic side of the community. If you are the type of player to shrug off some upset players, then this community is just fine. In my experience, people are always happy to make jokes and join in on jokes, and new players are always supported by the community, sometimes after some joking/teasing, though. The discord is an active place where community members discuss the game, share artwork, contact the moderation team, and form groups. Perhaps its because of some of the other communities i have been a part of, but I disagree with players that claim this community is overly toxic. I feel like a few bad eggs don't ruin one community, unlike games that are full of toxic people left and right(looking at you league).

BUGS:
This is an early access game that is under constant development, so there are certainly bugs, but there is also an active QA team that works on seeking out and handling these bugs. I haven't found any bugs so far that game-breaking, but I do experience the odd bug now and again. My most recent experience with a relatively large bug went like this; players were experiencing issues with some of the portals in game(velociraptor slingshot type stuff), the bug was reported, 2-3 days later a patch was released, and no more flying velociraptors. Existing/known bugs are minor/irrelevant, and it seems like the quality of the game is constantly increasing.
