The verdict

A cozy, beautiful Early Access sky-exploration survival crafter with a mobile flying base, but performance, bugs and clunky flying are rough. Skip it if you want polish or have a weak PC.

Great for

Patient explorers and co-op friends who enjoy cozy, Subnautica-style survival and can tolerate Early Access jank

Main risk

Poor optimization, crashes and getting stuck in terrain can make it frustrating or unplayable at launch
