WTF is this? I run around a tiny island reading text pop ups on items on the island and picking up pieces of metal that doesn't show up in my bag except for one man hole cover. There is also another island not far away with a flag, but you can't get to it because you get pushed back to the starting island. There's no instructions how to do or what to do anything. Hotkeys can't be changed and music can't be turned down or off, because all the sound is linked to one setting.

What makes Phantom become a special sandbox survival game?
Nowadays, there are all kinds of survival games in the market. The basic rules are similar. The environment, the pressure of AI to characters, and the process of player to overcome these pressures through collecting, building and fighting.
Phantom has some different features; it can be said to distinguish the other survival games.
- Phantom is a very unique style of hard science fiction survival game, the art style is different from most of the survival of game in the market.
- A purely physical construction system, the vast majority of the survival of the construction of the game system is just a "shell", these "shell" cannot move! The Phantom construction system is different, if the player to build any purpose for a building or tool, the player needs to design by themselves, Phantom provides only the most basic "function block." Second, these "function blocks" all follow Newton's law, they are alive, players can interact with them. Then based on the construction system, in theory, the player can create any highly interactive things. Whether buildings, traps, vehicles, aircraft, rail cars, and even calculators can be designed and built, Phantom provide almost unlimited possibilities.
- Human beings as the player of the survival game is a very natural choice, because here are a lot of human needs, to eat, drink, to moderate temperature, with physical constraints, and even guts and so on. But in the Phantom world, electricity is almost the only need to be considered. Although it seems to greatly simplify the survival part of the game, but in fact it is a challenge of the distribution and management of the electricity, because in the Phantom world to do almost everything needs electricity, alive need electricity, running, fighting, construction, and so on all rely on electricity. more terrible is that those who build the functional blocks are all in need of electricity to operate. Power is very limited, then how to allocate power according to the situation is to challenge the players.
When physical construction is combined with single source power survival, I believe that Phantom provides a unique gaming experience.

The refund buttom works well! [spoiler] Phantom 0/10, steam 10/10 [/spoiler]
I can't recommend this game, but I did enjoy playing the game when it was possible. I was getting fatal errors after every update, and for some reason my pc started freezing randomly (Not while playing the game). I didn't think it was the game because the game wasn't open durning the times my pc would freeze, and it wasn't immediately after the update/fatal error. But I did notice that each update eventually led to my pc freezing afterwards, so I uninstalled it and I haven't had a freezing issue since. Never had a freezing issue before installing the game also. So, no I can't recommend this game. If you're interested, try it for yourself for less than 2hrs and gain your own opinion. Some are getting the fatal errors, some aren't. Again, I enjoyed playing around with the game.... but I'm not going to recommend it knowing it was f'n with my pc. I was using.... i7-3770k 3.5ghz 16gb 64bit Win10 pro to run the game. I like the concept of the game and the visuals, but I hope they get it t...
The idea of the game is great and that is why I gave it a thumbs up. Perhaps one day in a year or so this game might be really fun to play. As it is...It's lacking in a few things. So if you like the idea and want to support them I would consider getting the game while it's on sale. For the developers: There are serveral things that could be done to improve Phantom: 1. Fix the english so everything can be read in english. And you can skip on the swearing it doesn't make it funny or realistic, whichever one you were going for. 2. When you start out the game in the desert you start deep in a pit filled with junk, I would suggest that you either (1) make it so no robots spawn until you get out or (2) make it so the robots won't attack buildings. Let me explain further. The robots only come at night, but they will stay forever unless you destroy them and they are extremely hard to destroy even with a constant stream of power. That being said not only will they attack...
I bought this game and spent 5 minutes in it and refunded. It will be A PERFECT VR GAME IF the developers add the ability to invert Y Axis and rebind the mouse/keyboard keys. As soon, or if, these features are added, I will repurchase. Furthermore, make the worldspace at least close to Conan Exiles, or as big as Subnautica.
i want to support the devs on this one as i see it beeing one of the better survival world games out there when it is finished. But as of this moment theres not enuf in for the price. the story that is in is short and easy enuf just do what the ai askes and its over when you get to the smaller island. the creative side could be good but the island is so small its just not werth playing. hopeing this game gets better soon as the videos show a much better game. and this was what i thought i would be getting. so in summery if you want this game to become what its ment to be then we need to buy it and hope the devs dont screw us over but it really isent werth the mony they want for it now. it needs a biger map and all the scanable parts in game so you can at least try to survive and build the things to keep you going as there is no way to build anything really in story mode with the limited objects you can scan. update game gets better after you complete the island map didnt relise as ga...
A game with much potential. Preliminarily I would recommend for its potential, but it may be altered to "not recommend" if insufficient progress is made towards the objectives set by the developers. The difficulty is, at least in my opinion, moderate. Sufficient instruction is given, with much left for exploration by the player (bad news for some players accustomed to STEP BY STEP instruction.) PAY ATTENTION : THIS GAME IS A SO-CALLED HARDCORE GAME. Still some problem with the translation (particularly the difference between "reduce to" and "reduce by"). Hope fixed. Regarding optimization, I would say it fares well. On my 4790k + GTX 780 computer, it runs with a FPS of 40-60 (occasionally 30+), with all video settings set as "epic" under 1920*1080 resolution. I have not progressed to the second level of desert, which is displayed in the promotion video. I will make update to this review.
Great Hardcore Survival game! Reviews like: "This game have only tiny island" written by noobs who can't even beat a first tutorial. Here is tutorial Preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBJAqPCA6rA&feature=youtu.be
