The Forever Winter is definitely unfinished and edgy (enemy detection, path-finding, ...), still I was very pleased by the actual state and especially that TFW fullfils what the devs have promoted! But also as the devs have openly communicated, you should only get it if you want to support the game development. I find the implementation of their concept so far fantastic and it looks very promising. The difficulty is also really hard, which is great and should not be changed, as it encourages co-op gameplay and a dense immersive atmosphere. Regarding playtime I would say you get ~50+ hours out of it right now. Neverthless I don't want to spoil the game for me, as we dont know how dynamic the gameplay will become in the future, so I will let it cure/progress for ~12 months. The online co-op performance was always very smooth and I had no lags or rubber banding at all. Also to note is when the host/leader starts a game it takes ~30 seconds to start! And there are already some innovations as well as quality of life features other looter-shooter 'beta' titles seem not to bother much. Regarding the controversly discussed water-mechanic, I would simply recommend to give it some time... lots of stuff will be added, changed and tweaked over the next months. And last but not least Fun Dog Studios deserve some big credits for making this come (a)live.

?!? Wishes:
For long term fun and to be more than just another looter-shooter, TFW needs:

• dynamic generated map-layouts (or even procedurale)
  
• dynamic NPC/AI war-path scripting (or even procedurale)

This is the way:

High on Life is a disturbing humorous adventure-shooter and particularly a worthy Rick & Morty Universe homage. Although I do not know/think that you enjoy this title/humour when you ain't a R&M fan. But if you are one, expect lots of renowned dark sci-fi humour which is complemented by a really good voiceover. And the 3 integrated full-length 'human' movies, with additional Alien comment, is just one cherry on top. But yes, off course there is a but(t). As(s) the overall pretty basic and static gameplay fun flattens out a bit at 2/3 of the game, though keep on going and just...
