I originally bought this game back in 2021 to cheer up a friend of mine. We proceeded to play this game for 13+ hours straight. Years later, we are now married and getting ready to play the 1.0 release as a date night. One of the best survival games I've ever played, and it helped me get married. 10/10 Edit: I never thought in a million years this would end up the most helpful review of the game. I just wanted to share my anecdotal reason why I love this game because my wife and I thought it would be funny. Thank you all for the nice and silly comments, we both are loving the 1.0 release!

Dear people at Iron Gate. I absolutely love your game and have spent many more hours than I would like to admit playing it. So would you Please use some of the small funds you made off of the millions of presales to hire some interns/modders to clean up your technical/design debt? You can only hide behind the "prerelease" tag for so long, and that time is well past. If you know that armor sets work better without a cape, why is the weakest armor set (the troll set) still the only one requires four items? Why are you giving us the ability to have fancy swimming trinkets, and fancy swimming potions, but we still can't dip our head under water to collect the nails sitting in a 6ft deep dock. You gave us a combat overhaul, but we still can't aim up or down, somehow making Spear and Atgeir the Worst weapons for fighting leaches when they should likely be the best. Every new craftable item you make adds to the never ending list of items in my crafting station that I can't search through and isn't organized in any logical way. You gave us new trinkets! So now with the sword, shield, bow, arrows, hammer, 4 armor items, 3 foods, mistlight, and now Trinket Literally half my inventory is filled with essential items because you refuse to incorporate extra equipment slots for those type of items. All of these could be addressed and likely corrected in under a month. If you hire the modders who have already implemented these systems, you could probably have it fixed in a week. Instead I assume you will continue to SLOWLY replicate these systems yourselves, much like you did with the Odin Bear mod. Which is fine. The new bear is beautiful, the armor set is neat, and I understand why you want to be the ones to implement new things into your game so that they meet your level of quality control, but the bear, the gear, and especially the meat, feel disconnected form the rest of the game. Why is Cooked Bear Meat the only recipe related to this cool new animal? Even wolves wont eat it's meat raw. How many years will we need to wait for you to correct that? I recently lured some new friends into playing with me, and they are having a blast, but it is exhausting explaining why these problems still exist after you have had half of a decade to address them. This game is wonderful, and expansive new biomes are great, but can you please spend some time cleaning it up!? P.S. - A Hildir setting that disables night spawns caused by late game bosses would be nice. It's hard to get new friends to play when they get murdered by Fuelings every night. P.S.S - Oh no! I am devastated to see people citing my review as a reason to Not get this game, and I am realizing that I may not have emphasized how Incredibly fun this game is. I stand by my review, but this game is Wonderful despite having some problems. In fact, part of why these things have not been fixed is because it's so easy to get emersed in this game and forget about the little things that need fixing. (That being said, I am a bit amused that not a single thing on this list was touched in the official release... womp womp..) PLAY THE GAME PEOPLE! IT'S GREAT!

You've played for 10042 hours Would you recommend this game to other players? duh. If you like picking up stones and wood, sneaking up on trolls and progressing through a world with eight distinct biomes, fighting increasingly harder mobs and biome bosses while building a fort or mansion in wood or stone and cooking some of the weirdest foods in gaming, this might be for you. Its a progressively generated open world with survival/crafting mechanisms and base building. Id recommend it if any of those words triggered with you.

Played this game with my partner a lot who recently passed. I have picked it back up and it's given me a lot of comfort in my grief to share a game with someone I love and memories of the times we played it. Can't wait for 1.0.
