I’m approaching 200 hours in The Last Caretaker, and I can comfortably say this is one of the most compelling games I’ve played in years. What initially looked like an interesting survival/crafting game turned into something much bigger. Exploration, resource management, automation, base building, logistics, combat, and the constant drive to figure out “what’s over there?” all work together incredibly well. I’m finally getting close to wrapping up the main storyline, and I still have a huge number of POIs I haven’t cleared or fully explored. The progression is especially satisfying. You start out simply trying to survive and understand the world, and eventually you’re managing production chains, pumping resources across the map, building infrastructure, hunting sharks for materials, restoring massive facilities, and literally creating humans and launching them into space. Somehow it all feels like part of the same journey rather than a collection of disconnected systems. The atmosphere deserves special mention. The flooded, abandoned world manages to feel lonely, beautiful, mysterious, and occasionally unsettling without relying on constant scripted events. There have been countless times when I intended to accomplish one specific task and, two hours later, realized I had gone completely off-course because I spotted another structure in the distance. And this is Early Access. Yes, there are occasional bugs. I’ve encountered glitches and some resource/progression quirks that clearly need refinement. But the remarkable part is that none of them have outweighed how much fun I’m having. If anything, the amount of content and polish already here makes me incredibly excited to see where the developers take it. Very few games get 200 hours from me, and fewer still can do that while leaving me feeling like I’m not finished exploring their world. If you enjoy Subnautica, Satisfactory, survival crafting, automation, exploration, or games where you can completely lose track of what you originally intended to accomplish, The Last Caretaker deserves your attention. Overwhelmingly recommended. Now, if you’ll excuse me, apparently humanity isn’t going to rebuild itself.
I just launched my first human into orbit and all I can say is WOW. I've been gaming for 40 years and I'm so tired of the same old same old. So many games these days are just a rehash of the same stuff we've been playing for decades. FINALLY a game full of new ideas, new mechanics and gorgeous graphics - wrapped around a story that's actually interesting, enlightening and inspiring. I'm SO glad I purchased this. This is AAA+ quality. Hard to believe that it's from an independent studio. Kudos to the developers.
UPDATE 100+ hours later - Still amazing. The devs keep adding quality of life fixes and they are grinding them out, back to back to back. They added power outlets and I spent 8 hours going back to run some conduit just to improve the look of it and make more OSHA compliant. Caretaker the game. The name says it all. I've put in 65+ hours into this game and most of that has been 'wasted' on cable managements and site maintenance. And I couldn't be happier. As the dad to a preschooler I don't get a lot of me time so my gaming hours are few and far between, yet somehow this game has taken 65+ hours of my time. I find myself playing until 1 am or even 3 am and I haven't done that in years, I just don't have that kind of time but I am obsessed. I want to fix these systems, I want to recycle, I want to focus on efficiency and productivity. I've been trying to think about how best to talk about this game because I don't often write reviews. I love setting a course and then leaving the bridge, I go below deck to organize and maximize, I head to the top deck to do regular maintenance on my wind turbines. And I focus on cable managements. The game doesn't penalize you for just running a cable and it is the most efficient way to do things, but I find myself obsessed with running cables along the walls and out of the way, I will breakdown the existing equipment to organize them properly, line them up neatly and run straight lines. I have barely scratched the surface and I am in no rush.
So I really like the game and it feels better than most, unfortunately for me I don't think I will be able to complete it. There are certain areas where you need to make as series of jumps to complete the game. I can get close but after missing a jump 50 times I just cant make it and so I am at a point I am having to stop playing because I can't advance. I am a keyboard/mouse player so maybe a controller could do better but for me it kind of broke the game for me. I didn't give the game a thumbs down because its really is amazing hopefully one of the dev's sees this and add a piece a tech to the game that allows people like me to get past certain quests. Thanks! --Chris
After spending an embarrassing amount of time playing this game, 200+ hrs (I decided to restart once I played through the main mission and had a better understanding of how everything worked), I have to admit it's going to be one of my all time favs. I've been looking for something to scratch that subnautica itch and I think this game is going to surpass it when all is said and done. The Good: The graphics and mechanics are pretty good so far. Some tweaks need to be done but nothing major. The storyline and concept are very interesting. It's open world with very little direction for those of you who, like me, like to explore and figure stuff out on their own. And the devs have been pretty responsive. This game has been out for a month and there's been one patch and an update is coming in a couple of weeks with new content and fixes for some known issues. The Bad: Busted physics. Most of the time the physics is fantastic. However, sometimes the boat suddenly launches into the sky or sinks. Or the boat gets stuck on a small piece of trash in the water. It's only happened to me once but some people have complained about it happening to them often. It's not game breaking but is for sure annoying. Restarting or scrapping trash usually fixes it. It does crash occasionally (about a dozen times in 200 hours) but you can set your auto save to every 5 minutes so you don't lose much. A lot of the other bad (more content, more memories, different kinds of transport) is scheduled to be released early next year. The Ugly: There are some optimization issues that make it jittery at times and some rendering issues but I expect this will get better with the next updates. Whether this is good or bad depends on what kind of games you like but it is very repetitive. Sail to a station. Fight some bugs. Turn on the power. Scrap everything. Repeat. For me it's gaming crack. For an early access, I think it's pretty good. If you buy and EA, there are going to be bugs. I've never played an EA without them, ranging from minor to game breaking. Heck, I've had less issues with this game than I did with Fallout 4 years after it was released! And that's from a major studio, not an indie publisher. If you want a polished game with smooth play through and no interruptions, don't buy an EA. The price point is on the higher end for an EA. The main mission is about 20 hours if you don't explore at all. If you go to all the locations on the map, try to find all the hidden locations in the poi, it's 100+. And the road map for the games suggests there will be quite a bit more content to come. So, is it worth it? I think it depends on what kind of gamer you are. If you only want do main missions, don't like to explore for explorings sake, then yeah, it's probably a bit pricey.
