if looking fort the offline experience, DO NOT buy this game. I cant get to work off line. Pointless. I dont use steam and such because of this same thing!! BEWARE!!

I didn't expect to like this game as much as I did. The combination of large, open world, realistically modeled with huge draw distances, the crafting/building/tech tree, the surviving mechanics (deadly day heat, deadly night cold, thirst, hunger), the mystery and excitement of exploring/seeing what's behind that next dune or what hides in the distance made it for a very addictive gameplay loop. One memoralable immersive moment in the game: I got lost in a sand storm and I had no idea where to go anymore. After some time trying to remember from what direction I was moving and where I was going, it was getting close to sunset and that's when I realized I can just use the direction of the setting sun as a reference point. Did that and found my way quickly afterwards. I finished the main story (as much as it has been implemented at this moment), explored everything, unlocked and crafted all the tech so I'm now just having a hard time trying to stop playing it, instead I just build stuff, grow stuff and hang around in the game world while more and more monsters are coming with every passing day... One of the best games I've played this year.

What started as a good survival game with a cool story turned into what looks like developers having no idea how to end. Even in the final stage game is still buggy but liveable with the clay towers not working properly. The end? The area beyond the gate just seems to consist of jumps over widening gaps and that's it. After failing multiple time just gave up as seemed pointless as nothing else there. Sad ending.

I downloaded this a couple of weeks ago and when I ran it, all I got was a main menu with the New Game and continue greyed out and not accessible ! Too bad because it looked really good. I hope whatever caused this will be fixed but it is NOT recommended right now !!

I want to play this game but i can't because the "new game" option is inaccessible...
