There is a lot in this game that shows this as a work of love. Unfortunately as someone that has been gaming since 1979, I have to say this comes off more as a game being released in 1995 not in 2023. The graphics are passable but when you get up close the textures pixelate like a criminal giving a public interview. This is not acceptable when other development companies are pushing out RTX lighting and Unreal Engine is pushing massive updates to graphics and lighting that would put this game to shame. It probably also doesn't help that this game uses the 2020 version of Unity instead of 2021LTS version. Also all of the models use low poly models -- again another decision from the 1990's. Unfortunately even before 1990 developers were using photorealistic textures, bump maps for better 3D presentation, and none of this has been used in this game. So sad. This game could be so much better.

It is primarily a construction game but construction is not that easy to do. Snap points are as loosie-goosie as Amber Heard among a group of billionaires. Instead of snapping and holding, the pieces flop everywhere. and often I'm trying to just get a connection to the MAIN snap point putting a pole on top of an installed pole, and the connections are flying everywhere. I was watching a YouTube video and his building was like mine: install a piece, swear, delete the piece, install again and pray it goes where it is supposed to go. If this happened once or twice...okay...but this was with 8 out of 10 pieces placed. This is a CONSTRUCTION game not a DESTRUCTION game. Coffee Stain Studios is your publisher, with the VERY popular Satisfactory. You should have a sitdown about graphics, animations, and construction code. You need it. I find that even when using care, when I build a long section of wall the wall pieces always end off-center. So I have to decide, do I destroy that past half hour of work or do I leave it go with the gaps and all.

The whole build up to defeating the bad guy then moving on to the next level is interesting and different. But it involved very long spans of area, ocean, and land. It would be nice to implement fast travel. At least to the players base and the offering circle. You could be halfway across the world taking out one of the bosses and then do a long, dangerous return trip to the circle. The game has quite a lot of possibility, however the developers have to take a step back and listen to the criticisms. It I had to review it now I'd say that even though I enjoy playing it I cannot recommend it.
