The WILDS is, in my opinion, and already great game with plenty of potential and opportunity. Of course, being an early access and early in development game has it's drawbacks, but I personally think the price of $5 is pretty fair for what you get. A lot of the content is missing, simply because it's in development. As of posting, development is halted since the developer is switching game studios, and relearning the tools for developing. I'd say give it a shot, as It's pretty fun. If you can get it on sale it's an even better bargain. I took the time to learn all of the inner workings of the game, find all the easter eggs, and essentially complete the content available as of now. There are a surprising amount of people who gave up way too early. I've seen loads of negative reviews of things that are totally false, just because they didn't take the time to figure it out. All and all, if you like animals, survival games, realistic simulators, and the natural world, you'll enjoy this game. As of now, the content available is enough to essentially be a basic animal survival game, with pack and grouping features, as well as some illnesses, injuries, and diseases to spice it up a bit.

The WILDS - I wish the developer all the best on this one - an overhaul and revamp will be pretty cool as I liked "Infinite Blue" and "King of Bones" by them. It may not be the big bad AAA title clincher and that's good because it doesn't have to be! A great concept and great developer deserve positive criticism and support to get games like these noticed and appreciated more often. It's rare but this Game and future projects will receive support from me for sure. Keep it up!

I don't know if the developer will see this but PLEASE KEEP GOING- This game has stolen my heart even with its limited mechanics, its actually great for what it is. With sniffing different plants, animals, water sources, etc to discover them? And then finding out what you can do with them? It's beautiful! (give or take a few bugs, but I expected that.) And if possible, Multiplayer would be amazing. Also the cinematic scenes when you discover locations?? SO GOOD. A Friend of mine showed me this game and I fell in love immediately upon playing it. I am PRAYING that the developer continues to work on it!
