9/10
Core Keeper is a clever, challenging, and immensely enjoyable sandbox mining game that's a blast to play. You can completely change how you play for a new experience, there are a lot of bosses and areas to explore, and the joy of finding a new item or new area is never lost. If you like games in this genre, then you'll love it, and even if you don't like games in this genre, this could be the one that converts you.,

Exactly what I was looking for

All the fun of a gather-and-build-em-up with a healthy layer of RPG elements. There are a ton of armors and weapons to find and things to build.
