It can be played alone or with a group. The crafting, building, travel, events and other parts of the game are fluid and fun. There's no limit to your creativity. It's challenging but you can lose yourself for hours and not even notice it's been that long.

I love the game so far, I wanted a game where you build bases and then kill stuff like grounded 1 & 2 and that's the case here. The gameplay is great, the world is fun, it's very good!
