If you loved Stardew for it's freedom and moment to moment fun then this is not the game for you, maybe it's better later on but I'm not going to waste hours on something hoping that it will eventually be fun. The main issue I have with this game is the lack of basic quality of life features like being able to move your work stations instead of having a jumbled unstructured mess, and the fact that for most of your playthrough you're going to be cluelessly climbing the tech tree, getting technologies with items that won't be accessible till you get another tech tree or build another work station. Every part of it felt tedious and like I had no true agency with what I was doing, simply going through the motions while being instructed on what to do by a guide on my second screen. I'm going back to Stardew.
