Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A deep survival sandbox with excellent building, thralls and mods, plus a free UE5 upgrade. Skip it if you want clean official PvP, or can't tolerate bugs, lag and a pricey cash shop.
Great for
Solo or co-op builders who enjoy grindy survival crafting, thralls and mods, ideally on private servers
Main risk
Bugs, lag and cheaters on official servers, update-broken mods and an aggressive cash shop

“But easily my favorite aspect of this game is building! I've built castles, fortresses, even entire towns, complete with citizens and guards and exotic pets.”
