As of writing this review, the game's review status is "mixed," but I believe the game deserves "positive;" not "overwhelmingly positive," but definitely "positive."

The game is a grindfest, it's a number go up game, but with a lot of personality and interesting non-fetch quests. An important quality of life feature (more resource banking nodes) is locked behind a grind (unlocking the 2nd zone and grinding out 32 carpentry, specifically); and I love that. For other players, it may not be a grindfest. For them, the game is some nice background noise while doing something else (watching a show, a movie, a YouTube video; doing an assignment or project, etc). Ultimately, for an early access game, it's incredibly polished and has seen nearly daily patches to improve the quality of life features, from customisable control schemes to navigation-via-clicking-minimap.

All-in-all, I'm here for the game. I can see myself logging on for brief daily periods, occasional long-day grinds, and sometimes as background noise to other tasks that I'm doing; the whole works.
