Good minecraft+teardown with stunning landscape and extremely detailed building system but crafting is a bit slow(realistic?) u have to lay stuff on the ground and crafting then pick it up enemy is decent but i didn't reach boss yet ______________________________________________________________ i refunded bc it's feel a bit empty gameplay is good at first and got boring real fast

Very small and simple game. Takes about 6-7h to beat, more if you actually build stuff. The good is that the vibes are immaculate, the lighting with simple but pretty world gen makes for a very enjoyable world. Voxel physics are also very fun to play around with, theres a spell that lets you rip out voxel chunks from the world and throw them at enemies for decent damage, very fun. Building system is really good, allows for some very detailed stuff, unfortunately, i'm not a good builder so didn't get much out of it outside of a few uhh, cylinder shaped objects... The bad(?) is uhh: Performance is can be a bit iffy but it held 60fps on 1080p and decently high settings for me, definitely leaves a lot to be desired tho Combat is VERY simple, as in just hold lmb and win, with occasional shield blocking and sometimes you can just barely outrange enemies with knockback, ranged options are disappointing at best. Bosses have attacks that you really just can't do anything about except tank, paired with seemingly no instant healing options (that i found) and health regen being very slow even with the food buff makes boss fights a dps race with praying for good attack pattern rng. Progression is equally simple, with you going mining > making tools/weapons/armor > exploring for boss summon item fragments > defeating the boss > upgrading the furnace > repeat 4 times. Not really any "builds" to go for or gear choices to make, everything you find is just a straight upgrade to what you had before. Hope the dev isn't done here and keeps updating it with more stuff, 'cuz this is a really strong base for something that COULD be amazing. (still recommended 'cuz its voxelgem and i'm biased)

Genuinely instant GOTY material. Its like minecraft and terraria had a teardown baby and named it 3d noita. But it still needs a lot of work. It feels so good. But im having a hard time wrapping my head around why its not more fleshed out. Its got all these really cool intricate little sytems. But its lacking substance. I wish this would launch into early access with a roadmap. Getting down to the bottom of the cave with no materials to get out. Wont let me kill myself to get out. Feels like my weapons were breaking too fast to do anything meaningful with them. Especially with how small my inventory is and im trying to level up all my stuff to the next level of gear. Dont get me wrong its beautiful and has a lot of good things going for it. So im gonna leave my review positive.

Id place it somewhere between Minecraft and Vintage story. Doesnt seem nearly as punishing as Vintage Story. Very precise building with the voxel system. Gonna see some really neat builds from this game for sure. Crafting system is pretty well done IMO. Game would be a lot of fun with multiplayer support, hopefully thats coming somewhere down the line.
