I originally refunded the game a couple months ago within the 2 hour window for 3 reasons.

1. I found the controls a little bit clunky
2. I found the textures off putting i instantly started looking for HD mods
3. I found myself in the early game struggling to get the basics out of the way before nightfall and it got so dark at night it was frustrating. It didn't feel very friendly at first or ease you in.

With that said, i watch this game like a hawk and i keep asking myself "if it's got so many overwhelming reviews from literally hundreds of thousands of players, i must be wrong in my assessment".

I'm tempted to buy again and just commit to it instead of rushing my first 2 hours to determine if i should refund it. I love survival games, i played Conan Exiles to death on multiple platforms.

With the small discount on offer right now it's almost worth it to push through for 1 weekend and love or hate it after that it's probably got me my monies worth since i'll probably spend more than the cost of the game down the pub tonight in less than 1 hour lol

Rushing in this game does lead to frustration. I restarted last night and decided to rush the first boss (who now looks much cooler than I remember). My combat skill ratings were very low, weapons and armor that weren't upgraded, the only thing I had going for me was that I had figured out food (for me two meat and something sweet)- died about four times.
