I know everyone will just tell you to "get good" and "This is why we play these games" - but from every survival game I played so far, this is the most frustrating one.

No matter what you do, the game wants you to suffer.

You go into the Black Forest to gather your first types of ore and different wood? Instantly after making noise, you are surrounded by 1-2 trolls, a wave of greydwarves and at that point, you are basically done for, because no matter what you do, you can't gather in peace, can't fight back well enough at this point and your inventories weight/slots are so minimal you are forced to run back with whatever you were able to gather in that short time frame.

Rinse and repeat until you finally got enough materials to gear up and not worry too much about it all, which still doesn't make it easier or fun though. Especially in the beginning.

This game loves to waste your time, It's unbelievable how good it is at that. And the game isn't even that difficult, It's artificial. Mechanics are piss poor, so what they do is, they throw numbers at you at such short intervalls that you are forced to either get overrun or suffer through a "Run-backwards-simulator-while-shooting-a-bow" type of gameplay.

Great potential, nostalgic graphics, nice theme and all, but man the combat is just annoying.
