I love this cozy game. While the complaints ARE true, there is not that many things to do, each of those things is extremely lovely. Don't expect some grand immersive experience. This isn't Breath of the Wild. This is a small, focused experience. Flying around feels great. Building your island up feels great. Exploring other people's islands from the workshop feels great. But that's it, don't expect anything more and you'll be happy. So long as each update adds something that feels great, I don't care how long they take.
This game has a lot of potential. Pros: the art style is neat, the worlds are very beautiful and flight-themed of course. The sound of the wind, the effect of the wind in the grass, the light on the trees, gorgeous and relaxing. Cons: the avatar. Worst avatar I've seen in a game in a long while. It's ugly, the hair (unanimated wood hair) is ugly, the faces are all the same ugly face, and the avatar runs like an old woman with osteoperosis of the hips. You can't change anything about your appearance after creation, either. There are other pros and cons. This game suffers from typical FunCom issues: the loot boxes all have grass in them. As an original Conan player, we used to joke about this all the time. The devs are still the same... all they put into loot chests is grass. So you will be finding chests everywhere, literally EVERYWHERE they are even under the ground marked with X marks the spot rocks, and you'll dig it up and... grass. Or rocks. Like you can literally pick up the rocks on the ground around the loot chest and get 5x as many rocks as are inside the loot chest. So what is the point of finding any loot chests? None. Pro: making an island into your flying ship is cute. Being able to have several bases at once is nice. Being able to take your base/island to any server is super nice. That said, there's not a lot to do in the game. I mean there *IS* technically, you can grind through all the islands and discover them all and find a million grass in chests... but it's very repetitive. Some of the islands are little puzzles but many are broken, and the loot you get for solving the puzzle is... you guessed it... grass. Enemies are boring and repeditive, not exciting combat at all. It's not supposed to be a combat game since it's a cozy game but still. I'm at 166 hours and just don't have any interest in continuing. It's all the same. I'd rather go back and play Conan. Maybe they can make this game fun for long-term play but I'm not sure. They'd have to add like an entire new focus to the game, or a whole new structure, or something. Frankly they'd have to add an actual game to this game. Like... something to DO. There's just no story and nothing fun to achieve, find, or collect. Except sheep I guess but after you've found ten of those... it's just meh. I do recommend it just because maybe you'll find it to be your thing. It has potential, it's pleasant and (if you can ignore the butt ugly avatar) it's pretty. But it's not for me. I'd rather play WoW than play this and I quit WoW years ago!
I think it's really fun! My only criticism isn't about the gameplay. It's a pet peeve of mine that games and stories about restoring the land focus on killing mushroom creatures and introducing greenery. Mushrooms are so important to the ecosystem, and there are ecosystems that exist in dry/sandy/rocky locations. I know it's a dumb thing to care about, but I wanna say it anyway. :)
Comparing with having put in over 3800 hours in MD, 1100 hours in to Raft, 335 hours into Necesse, 550 hours into 7d2d and now currently at 123 hours into Aloft, I felt is was time I gave my review to counter some of the recent negative reviews. ---First and foremost--- this is still a early access game Pro's: Customizable game play (easy, hard, creative, etc.)You can set controls to player preference. Even in multiplayer, each person can set their own difficulty as well Story, has a beginning, middle and end. Not to complex but complete as some do not and leave you either scratching your head to understand and follow or just leave you hanging. Music Score's are mood immersive and helps create the atmosphere Interesting Art Style Game mechanic's implemented very well, enhanced with a unique style of mini games and combo's to make both resource gathering and combat stand out from other games in it's genre and provides additional dopamine No timers. No stress to "run" back home to end the day. Cozy exploration and imagination inducing creativity. Freedom- No building punishment, +1 for refund the building materials Con's: Only if you do not take the time to READ the in game info and tips, play longer than the 2 hour refund time and give enough energy to figure out the mechanic's, which are both easy and explained You might think its a bit constraining with Character creation because you are rewarded later in game with further Character customization. Optimization can be better improved but even with lower graphic settings (fps, shadow's or clouds) you can fully enjoy and experience the game. I gifted my family and friends the game, started a small server and have built a parkour course on the beginner island. Built a lovely tree house home. Built a medieval style tavern with setting in side and on the attached patio balcony. Hugged a frog. Stepped on a cute lizard. Went to sky limit. Watched sunrises and sunsets while chilling with others. Flew like Ang and raced another islander. Well worth the price, your time, your imagination etc. And did I mention its still early access. What will you experience?
