I could not rate this game low if I tried.

It has an interesting premise, but let me recount all 2.7 hours of my play time.

I make a character without much issue, but the patching process was pretty long/tedious and seemed to be peer to peer... not a huge deal but unfortunate. I make my character with the goal of doing mining and maybe dabbling into blacksmithing. I wash up on the shore of some island and get led into a tutorial town, so far everything seems fine enough.

Yet this is where all sorts of stupid problems start popping up. After I get finished talking to a person the camera jerks down and points you at the floor, and after awhile got nauseating and basically made me stop wanting to interact with NPC's. I got through talking to the city elder and starting the blacksmith/mining tutorial by being led to the blacksmith and this worked simply enough, I quickly had made a primitive pick and was pointed off to the mountain to the north to mine.
So camera problems with NPC interaction and p2p updating aside things are going well enough and those things could be overlooked if the gameplay panned out.

Yet this is where the problems truly started. The quest marker pointed me to the mountain but I wasn't supposed to mine anywhere near the quest markers but apparently up the mountain itself. Ok, its not hand holdy I can get behind that. Except you'd think they'd put what you needed (iron ore) somewhere nearby and be relative plentiful since its for a tutorial quest.
Visually you can't see "iron ore" instead you have to use this prospecting system or repeatedly entering a right click menu with a few drop downs to get to the "look for iron ore" which only tells you if the iron is in the area or not and you can adjust the range. An interesting enough potential gimmick on the surface, but it quickly faded to tedium and annoyance as I simply couldn't find iron nearby. I noticed that you could dig into the mountain so I said ♥♥♥♥ it and digged into the mountain only to find rocks really, which is fine except then I couldn't just drop the rocks and now I was over burdened I had to go back down the mountain to drop the rocks and I could only drop a few rocks at a time and sometimes I couldn't drop more rocks in a location.
Next time I tried digging down (since you can change the direction you can dig, nifty enough). That time I got stuck in a pit I dug as it dropped me into it and I couldn't jump out. I was able to recall to the village and run back to the mountain again.

At this point I was pretty much like welp this is ♥♥♥♥, I'm clearly and idiot maybe google can help. After googling to no avail I was like "well surely there is iron on this damn mountain SOMEWHERE!" and I ended up climbing all over the mountain and relentlessly using the find iron surveying thing even if it was clunky and cumbersome to use.
Eventually on the opposite side of the mountain on what was basically a sheer cliff face I was able to narrow down some iron on the surveying tool. I tried dig around there except I kept getting error messages because it was on a sheer cliff. So using some craft positioning and basically floating in air off the cliff face I was able to dig into the cliff sideways and got just barely enough iron the blacksmith wanted.

So I walk back to town after taking time to dump out the extra rocks and ♥♥♥♥ so I wasn't overburdened. I make some nails like the blacksmith wants and everything goes smooth enough here if not for a clunky feeling interface. At this point my hunger bar is basically empty or approaching it having just spent the better part of two hours suffering through trying to get some iron for basically no reward (well I guess I got a blacksmith hammer!?).
So I try to find the cook, I try talking to her a few times and I get a pie from her and that brings my hunger up part way and things seem fine enough for now. She gives me a quest to find her kids, which seemingly lead to me building a shack instead of anything related to cooking and by this point I'm pretty tired or tutorial ♥♥♥♥ so I try to find out how to move onto the "real game".

My tutorial says I can head back to the village elder to "claim rewards" but no matter how I tried to interact with him there was seemingly nothing I could do to get rewards or get the tutorial quests to conclude. So I hit up google to figure out how to just get out the tutorial as fast as possible. I find out to head towards the glowing pillar and leave through there by talking to the thing inside. So I go there and have a single option to leave to so I select it and try to go over. At this point it puts me back to the character login screen, ok whatever I guess I changed servers or something. So I go to try to login and I just keep getting sent to an infinite loading screen.

By this point I am just sick and tired of the "game" if you can even call it that, almost all of the interfaces I dealt with felt clunky and overly complex with needless multiple drop downs. The inventory seemed to constantly have items move around and not stay organized. So many actions needed 3+ clicks when a single click should have sufficed. Quests that seemed to just not work or update properly, or were simply misleading to the point of stupidity a lot of quest text/npc text that had little to do with the quests at hand. Go game features mining or finding things to mine just being so overtly complex and less than clear to the player that it felt like you might aswell not even bother.

Oh yeah when I was talking to the cook lady I at some point got some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ liquor which made my character drunk and gave a nice little drunk effect. Except unlike most games its serious disorienting and bothersome (well enough on its own), yet combined with the issue mentioned earlier about the camera getting jerked face down when talking to NPC's it gave me literal motion sickness like you might get from playing a VR game way too long.

I could not find a single redeeming factor in my short time with this game. If it truly gets good or opens up into fun and interesting systems later, more power to it and congrats to the people that can suffer through. Though I would not wish that suffering on anyone and would instead simply finding a game that is enjoyable or atleast tolerable from the get go.
I have played a legion of games over the years and this is quiet possibly one of the worst gaming experiences I have ever had.
