Gaia

Im torn on this i really am. especially considering i just septn nearly 6 hours solid playing it. Ok so here is what i like about it, the graphics are ok the buildings are stellarly nice, the gameplay is EH (could be better) Here are several issues 1.) you log in and are building certain other buildings before you even have a foundation, house or cooking skills. It says you need blueprints but you already have them you just hve to research them in the encoder 2.) You spend the materials to make the items then you have to actually build it ONE BUILD IS ENOUGH PEOPLE. 3.) No real weapons for you to use other than your rifle (note im not counting the launchers that you can place all over the place) 4.) Character gets stuck in several places when going up hill and takes forever to uncrouch 5.) How the hell are you suppose dto get 2 miles away in 50 seconds to an anomaly in the beginng. Guess what YOU CANT ITS IMPOSSIBLE (ive tried you need hermes boots or ship to get there in time ...

So this is a build a base survival game with more focus on survival than building a base. The game was developed by one guy and it shows. Everything seems to work but it's clunky, the graphics are sub-par and it needs a ton of polish. The graphics feel like I am playing a game from 10 years ago with the graphics setting maxed out. Everything looks hazy and washed out. Trees and objects sometimes float above the ground. The tutorial sends you down a nonsensical build path that will get you killed. I had problems snapping the walls and floors down in base building. Foundations need to be thicker and items need to snap to each other better.Your character needs to go to the bathroom and apparently can't wash up after that. You lose sanity to quick and a few days in my character was almost insane. Key mapping reverts to default when I load a game. No windowed mode. Yes this game is early access but I feel like one guy can't support everything this game needs to get it going. It feels lik...

In its current state, yes its early access, but in its current state its just painful to play. The tutorial was a joke, following it got me killed. Resources are near impossible to find, besides the obvious ones. food and water drain is scaled to high, seriously no-one eats 10 carrots in a sitting, then gets hungry only a bit later, water is not as bad, but still bad. then the bathroom? seriously, not competent enough to use a tree, oh no bathroom available, ill just go on myself. (this is obviously a statement about having not built one yet, though it is honestly just another of the many meters to manage on this game.) Controls are counterintuitive, Not the traditional WASD movement instead W moves you and mouse turns you. no strafing as A and D switch your weapons. The multi tool has to be extremely close to an already hard to find resource to gather it. So resource to high on that rock? to bad. Now I will say I did not make it far into this game, I could not actually, maybe it was ...

It tries to be many things by borrowing ideas from other games such as Subnautica and RimWorld, but fails to be a good at anything and the sum of all parts don't come together to form something better. The graphics are mediocre at best, the controls are funky, the UI is not very responsive and lacks a common theme. The tutorial is buggy. The voice over feels extremly cheap and destroys immersion. Not worth the price.

[b]AVOID.[/b] The balance of this game is beyond borked. First playthrough the 3rd raid dropped 8 lazer wielding Raiders that 2 shot me, but require 20 shots to kill. The "Raiders decided to leave" but they didn't and 1 became invincible and destroyed ALL structures. Deleting 2 hours of progress and all the resources are just GONE. No more Copper and green ore aswell as food and water... can not build anything anymore. Hard locked. Second playthrough a Solar Flare caused a "fire tornado" which dropped near my base and the fire consumed 90 minutes of progress... again ALL structures are gone. All items not in character's inventory GONE, and the resources needed to build replacements already mined and stored in the storage contain that was deleted. This game is ill conceived. There are dozens upon dozens of other major issues. But I think a survival game with random events that leave the player with nothing takes the cake. Nothing to build back from, [b]AND within 2 hours of starting a...

lots of bugs and it looks like the game is far from comp;ete.

Please note: Several of the negative reviewers seem to have missed the clearly labeled and easily accessible options menu. The developer, Radu Saghin, is very quick to respond, and has already fixed several of the issues people had in less than a day after the complaint was made. This game is clearly Early Access, and if you don't know what all that entails then this game is not for you. (Another point that some seem to have missed) My first play through: I set everything to what I assumed would be the easiest possible setting because the reviews terrified me. I was surprised at how slowly the meters dropped. I actually had to get a snack and a drink in real life more often than the character, Amanda, needed it. Luckily that play-through was cut short by a bad trade deal and my base was destroyed by an orbital strike. Second try: I played with the defaults and received the challenge I was expecting. It has the limits of many EA games. There are limited options of things to build, ...

This game's gameplay elements do not make up for its amateur visual, audio and UI design. Gameplay is clumsy and reliant on the long-ago codified gameplay of run-really-far-to-look-for-a-green-flower-with-red-thorns that you inexplicably need for this thing that you need for that thing. Definitely not worth the 20 dollars despite the fact that it seems like it has some decent depth to it.

there have been NO updates since release. Game is promising,if only the dev cared enough to work on it more.

Boring. Glancing through the reviews I thought I'd try this game as it had a decent discount. I was prepared for some bad balancing and crappy art. I was not prepared for the majority of the game being running around boring terrain hoping to find a lot of a specific resource that I would need to build all basic things with no indication of where I could find it.
