Survival: Fountain of Youth

I just finished the game. It's a well-balanced and relaxing survival experience, suitable for both normal and hard difficulty levels. The atmosphere and graphics are immersive, making me feel as though I was truly on that island. The game's skill system is impressive; you genuinely feel a sense of progression, unlike in The Long Dark and other games in the survival genre. There are many more positive aspects to this game, so I kept this review brief. However, there are some minor issues: I didn’t receive the benefits from one of the books I read, and I encountered a few minor bugs along the way, but none were significant. The animal AI needs improvement; it's not up to par. Final Score: 8.5/10

Wow this game is slept on, only 1560 reviews at the time i wrote this. Must be bad marketing because this game is amazing! I went into it not expecting much, grumpy that it doesn't have co op. Yet it has that special something, between the exploration, the mystery, the sailing, and the crafting that just keeps you playing. If you like Valheim , enshrouded, the Forrest, etc, you will get hooked on this. Don't expect amazing combat, but the exploration and crafting is top notch.

I've been playing since early access, restarting with each new area launch. It's a solid solo survival game with an overarching story guiding exploration which you can engage with at your own pace. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem, the narration voice actor is bad but the gameplay is great. Small quality of life changes could be made but overall great open world survival craft w island theme.

This game is tedious and boring and is not fun it just feels like work which is not what i expect to feel when playing a video game. seriously this shit is so goddamned tedious, where instead of actually enjoying any of the gameplay you spend most of the time just scouring for stupid shit like rocks and sticks which should be literally everywhere but no only special locations, just like in real life. oh and there is like 5-7 different variety of stick just to make it even more convoluted so you dont really ever get to enjoy fun things like building bases or planting gardens because by the time you find enough rocks and sticks its time to go forage for water and food rinse and repeat. it feels like when you get to that [point in AAA game when you have beaten like 80 percent of the main quests and are now just looking for something to do other than the same few repeatable side quests before the final boss fight. speaking of fighting, the combat is basically non existent and you WILL get...

Solid

It's a fun game, well thought out. Goal oriented. Ohh and it has Bosses to beat so "Hurray".

Tough and addictive.

Amazing survival game, so much content too.

This is a great game. I loved and hated that it had an end game. It was so much fun to play with enough challenge to make you pay attention, but not so much that it felt like a part time job you had to work in the evenings. I couldn't wait to play it at the end of the day.
