It's a fun time sink....

You can die from starvation or other realistic ailments so you actually need to focus on your characters self care. Just think skyrim with the survival mode installed.

Your biggest challenge is finding the right spot to build your village, if you try to isolate yourself in the mountains building and growing your village will become problematic as most buildings need a certain amount of flat land in order to place the structure.

The story line is okay but honestly the story was better pre-release. It feels as though they made a lot of dialog changes for the release that where rushed and not really thought through.

All and all it's a nice causal game that you can easily sink hours into that doesn't require a whole lot of effort.
