I purchased this game to play with friends and was fun in beta. Well guess what... with v1 release, they dropped multiplayer. There is no point of buying this game to play solo. It was fun with friends!

Don't misunderstand, I WANT this game to be good and I want to give this game a positive rating, but I just can't. Too many unpolished parts of the game that I can excuse for early access but I can't overlook for a full release. For example, on the cheese island, you can get water for the milk from desalination that also results in a salt byproduct which says on its own tooltip that it's used in the cheese making process. The cheese recipe doesn't use salt. Salt has NO uses currently and just clogs up your stuff. Getting fertilizer or other stuff to grow grass for cheese/milk requires automating cross-island transports with parrots or something but you can't specifically tell what goes where. You can only basically suggest stuff. NPCs just do what they want to do. The control you have is lacking in a game where automation is required. You get an achievement mid-game that says congrats for completing the game. lol There's a small cave that you can go in to have a combat minigame. Why????? If you skipped it, you'd lose out on nothing. Combat is not used anywhere else in the game and you don't even get anything useful from it. Could cut it from the game and make the game better off for it. There's a whole island that has a house with nothing in it and nothing can be interacted with. There's a whole island that says coming soon. Many parts of the surface water exploration areas are just weird. Like, one island is ONE TILE too far away for your boat to reach. I could almost jump from my boat to the dock 1 tile away, but NOOOO the water is too deep. So stupid. To many, a 1.0 release and end of early-access means "feature complete" and ready for review. So here it is. It's bad. Even if multiplayer was added, it's still not enough for a positive review.

This is a good game for when I need to relax or if I have some extra free time. I love just grinding on the same world and eventually making a civilization. Also love the backround music and graphics. Great, chill game. 10/10

I had 8 hours of fun with this game, but then the problems just overwhelmed the fun. The work assignments for the AI helpers is buggy and will stall your supply chains no matter what you do, and there are places where key functionality to advance the game just simply doesn't work.

A lot of features and quests are still open ended and in development. item, exploration, and quest progression needs adjusting.

I love all the automation options. Its the right amount of do all the things, and skill and explore.

Boring, shallow and unpolished

Love it !
