Do people really think this mediocre indie game is somehow breaking new ground with building? Games as old as Ultima Online had player-created neighborhoods, and there have been probably HUNDREDS of games by now that have incredible building systems. Look up the old MMO game Wurm Online to see literal cities created by players, and if you want a newer example that isn't Minecraft, look at some of the things people have made in Conan: Exiles. Like incredible sprawling elaborate cities with palaces, and that game has modern high-quality graphics, not the PS1 play-doh blob that is this game lol.

Building is fun, and so is the gameplay.

Graphics don't make a game good. Look at how many SNES games are leaps and bounds better than anything released in the last 10 years on any media. There's a handful of current/next-gen gems, but by and large they are plagued by horrible writing, horrible voice acting, horrible combat, horrible gameplay in general, etc.

That, or they've been made in to 10 hour linear hand-holding events for those with the attention span of a gnat.
