Early Access Review
If you like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, Sims, or Minecraft; You will probably love this game to death. Animated and relaxing gameplay with a fun outback Australia theme. If you have ever felt too constrained by time-gates in other RPGs, this game allows a quick use of a sleeping bag to fast forward to the next morning. I like how this game blends the best mechanics of games similar to it, to create a masterpiece of hunter gatherer gameplay mixed with community planning. Great value for the price you pay, especially if you get the game on sale.

Multiplayer with my partner has been really fun, with the limitation that only the person hosting the game can change island outcomes. Anybody visiting is just there to help gather resources and explore.

My experience with early access "bugs" is a mislabelled piece of furniture, or a wild animal staying underwater for a few days. Not game breaking but bizarre and hilarious.

This game runs pretty flawlessly even on an Intel Arc A770.

If you need your blood pressure lowered and an Australian vacation, do I ever have the game for you!

Early Access Review
A mostly fun sci-fi arcade style rpg 3rd person shoot em up style game with all the modern fixings!

Big LAN party energy!

It's like Gauntlet, Borderlands, Tron, and an EDM festival had a early access baby; the game is currently stable, fun to play, takes up little space in storage, looks gorgeous at 1080p!

BUT it only feels about 80% done as of Q1 2019.

It feels kind of waist deep in a shallow pool at a rave with all the grinding for new characters and finding the teleport the 100th time, the addition of more gameplay mechanics, variety, objectives, and more of this unique flavour would differentiate this game from what's been done before.

The game increases in difficulty over time, 70 minutes into a round the enemies will be swarming you and kill within seconds. You just can't win after awhile lmao

I prefer to play this game with friends, because quickplay randoms will hog all the loot and put you at a huge disadvantage.

Despite the flaws and early access, I recommend owning this game.
Especially if buy one get one free is offered again!
