pretty fun game, dont like how some features take a long time to unlock, i have to play for well over 4 hours to unlock an inventory, the gameplay at the start is more about sitting by a fire biding your time. It would be great if they had the things like crafting earlier where you are able to build a base and do things rather than just waiting until you unlock them. Edit: new update for the game somewhat fixed my issues, i think you still have to wait a while but its nicer now that its cumalative with the days so you are able to learn and explore whilst unlocking new items without the fear of dying and having to wait out the item days on a fresh start

Great game. I'd recommend playing this if you want a colonist-crash-on-ship survival game experience. Also get if you want a real good survival island game in general. Here are some cons, although. - Bugs are present, (well duh, it's early access.) - May cause motion sickness. - Monsters in the dark may scare. Here is some pros: - Like Sons of The Forest (great game btw) - Basically for anyone? - It's hard in the sense that it's fun. - Great building. - crabs are cool - bang rock - get gun (by the way, if you ever want to decide either to get bootstrap island or green hell vr, DO NOT GET GREEN HELL VR. Wayy too buggy, The developers abandoned it, and if you want to play Green Hell, just play the normal one. Or bootstrap. Bootstrap island is amazing even in early access.)
