In all my years of playing early access survival games, this is the first game I actually requested a refund on. The store page is a lie, stay away from this. What you see is the not the game you get. The UI is poorly done and barely functional. Crafting/tools does not work. Campfire will craft, but try to use it, even with more than twice the needed items, you get you don't have materials to use this. This game shouldn't even be listed on the store page, it's that bad.

Customize your character and weapons, and decorate the interior of your house.

Well I had high interest in this game when I first saw it, then I played it and had serious regrets! Maybe the game has potential, but in its current state it is a mess. My short gameplay: https://youtu.be/-csLNfe0w3E I`ll keep a watch on this and see if it gets better, then consider buying again, right now the game is far to early for even early access.
Refunded within 5 minutes. Spawned in as a Bear.... Killed multiple hunters... could not eat them, even though i had the option... May be a fun interactive game in the future.. as of right now its extremely unfinished.
While I understand that the game just recently released, it should at least be playable for more than 10 minutes before you die because you cant drink or sleep which are 2 functions that are needed to play this game since you will die without being able to do either. This could be a great game, but I wont hold my breath because I have played other games that had the same level of gameplay on release and still after 2 years, they haven't fixed their games. Why should anyone expect any different from this game? Starting to seem like most of these hurry up and release games are just in it for a quick buck. Fly by night games are a joke.
Another EA game that was pushed out to soon. This game is very bare bones. Random "hunters" running around with guns out and ready to KOS even your self. After killing a hunter you cant interact with the body if playing as a human so it is pointless to even have them in the game. Playing as a wold or bear is just a waste of time dont bother. Playing as a human you are not able to craft items even if you have everything to craft the item (3 sticks for rope, says you dont have the required materials) note the dev's said they are looking into this issue. I will come back in six months and see where this game is at. But right now do not buy, its very unfinished.
So, I played this for about 30 Minutes, and I figured I would do a review. The game is VERY early long it seems. I would argue that it shouldn't have been released yet, but that's besides the point. It has potential, as most games do, but at the moment there isn't much to do. I ran around as a wolf, bear, and human for a total of 30 minutes, and while the bugs were VERY entertaining, there were a lot of them. The AI wolves seem to just stand there while you hit 'F to Reproduce' which impregnates you female wolf, of which you cannot change the gender. And thats all the AI wolves do when you play as a wolf it seems. You also howl without sound, which is funny. The walking animation for the Wolves is ok, but the running made me and some others laugh. It's not the best, lol. The Bear has a 'meh' walking animation, but a decent running Animation. It can also 'Howl', but again with no sound. The Human currently has infinite resources, so you can make bows and stuff with no effort, so i...
Logged in as a human game seemed interesting but unable to craft or do anything other than gather, stacks of items dont work properly, refunded within 30 minutes. Cool concept but the game does not work yet.
Imagine you decided to leave the city, your dayjob as a coder and decided you want to return to the origins of human kind, you know ... mother nature. Now further imagine that you quite LITERALLY decided to do that RIGHT NOW, not bringing any of your belongings with you except your jeans and t-shirt, and you asked an helicoper pilot to blindfold you, fly you out into some random Canadian or Swedish nature, far away from any civilization, and just leave you there and forget that you ever existed. That's the game. At first, your dream has come true - nature around you look realistic and incredibly pretty, albeit a bit repetitive since you will soon discover that the forest you've been placed out in - is some kind of secret cloning research government program where they have sucessfully cloned everything so every tree is exactly the same. Run forest - RUN! And that's exactly what you will be doing for hours, days even - running around in a forest, like Gump himself, and no one knows ...
early access games that come out way too early prob means the dev's may need more backing support for that game development, which in this case this game has some good value to it and may offer way more in the future ... the price for wilderness is very fair...sale price of $11.99pt i wipe my bunghole for more that....( that's my opinion).
