Sony haven't yet reverted their changes barring countless Divers from the game.

♥♥♥♥ Sony.

It's really beautiful pixel art, and I can't wait for bugs to get ironed out and development to continue - I'm really happy to see that it's not abandoned!

Wait a while - or buy it to support the devs, and enjoy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about in the meantime :)

I've really enjoyed this game - the aesthetic and eldritch horror is right up my alley!
Not seen a single bug. The music's relaxing, the Ocean Friends are the right level of terrifying and nerve-wracking to keep you on your toes.

I have but ONE complaint - in that there are a series of timed quests that do not warn you they are timed (not spoiling which), so you can easily get distracted and fail them permanently.

All-in-all, pleased as punch with my purchase - and the Blackstone Key DLC stuff isn't game-breaking, but definitely useful for filling up that encyclopedia!

They've put in a lot of work to make this game the game they wanted it to be, after a rocky start.
If you like galactic-wide simulations with exploration, building and fulfilling that nosy curiosity, this is a good game to check out.

I'd say it's like a Viking Civilisation game, and I've played through the story (15 hours or so, give or take a bit where I had to go afk); I enjoyed it, and Normal wasn't too Easy!

I recommend it, even if I can't play it because for some stupid reason it doesn't load despite all the tests :(

I adore it otherwise, which makes me super sad that I can't play it!

Updating this 4/12/24 - I've got over seven thousand hours in this game, so to say I don't like it would be an absolute lie.

The modding community, in conjunction with regular updates from Funcom, is absolutely keeping this game alive. I've really enjoyed my time with it, I still play regularly (on NordheimRP at the moment!) and though I wish it could be updated to newer engines, I appreciate the hard work put in by the devs and the community to keep it fresh.

So much. So much variety and creativity in the modder community for this game too!

It's still in Alpha, for sure, but FunPimps listen to their community feedback, and have developed and evolved the game over the years - I look forward to full release, but I have loads of fun in it already regardless of the bugs :D

PVE is far better than PVP.

PVP is toxic as ♥♥♥♥, lol

Find yourself a good pve server and you're golden. I enjoy the building aspects of the game, and the exploration/survival, but the pvp community is toxic.
