The verdict
A huge, beautiful survival RPG with a best-in-class voxel building system and strong co-op appeal. Skip it if your PC is mid-range or you dislike repetitive combat and grind.
Great for
Builders and explorers who want a big co-op or solo survival RPG with flexible difficulty settings
Main risk
Poor optimization, crashes and long shader compiling on mid-range PCs
What changed in the last 30 days
152 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews around the 1.0 launch mostly cite crashes, memory leaks, very long shader compilation, and bugs. Some also complain about combat changes. Fairly confident, since the pattern repeats.
