FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Characters that you meet all have own look and own personality to them.

Difficulty options are nice and easy to understand.

World is fun to explore, build as start off with a small tile then when level up can craft new tiles that you have freedom to place and changes as each tile has own resources and stuff to do and find.

Crafting is fun and useful with lots of different stuff you can make all with own uses and look.

Cooking is fun as loved combining items to see what weird recipes could make and all offer own rewards.

Combat, movement is clunky and slow not as smooth as hoped for.

Slow speed of the game very chilled but need more sense of urgency as to chilled.

Very grindy as alot of needing X item to make item Y and can be annoying as random drops such as trying get feathers from trees.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall the story is interesting, being able place tiles to make own layout is awesome as totally up to you build your own world and the characters you meet all have own look and personality with nice difficulty options and crafting and cooking very cool. However for £15.99, the combat and movement is slow and clunky and not as smooth as hoped for and needs more urgency on tasks as very slow pace of gameplay and alot of grinding alot of need X to make Y and can be annoying trying to farm specific items from trees such as feathers as not guarantee to drop them.

WAIT ON A SALE.
