I bought it about 6 hours ago and am only taking a break cuz I was hungry and needed to use the restroom. Then I’ll probably play some more until I get too sleepy.
I’m having a blast with the game. It feels like a mix between Pokémon and Valheim.
No real bugs encountered so far. The only bug I’ve experienced since I’ve started playing is that respawning at my base places me inside some vertical terrain, and that’s partially my fault for needing to place objects so close to the walls that they’re practically clipping.
I didn’t like Breath of the Wild much, and Ark got annoying quickly, so I probably wouldn’t like this game. However, I do like Pokemon, so something new and more challenging related to Pokemon is certainly welcome.
Maybe I’ll get it, IDK, I’ll wait a bit to see how they grow.
To be clear, the Breath Of The Wild aspects are pretty minor. It plays little jingles when you find new landmarks that are very BotW-esque, you can get a glider, the UI is similar sometimes, and it has a climbing system that I never use. It’s clearly an inspiration, but it’s mostly not gameplay features.
It’s a lot more similar to Ark in terms of the base building/progression. The combat is it’s own thing- nothing springs to mind as a clear comparison.
But yeah, fair. Nothing lost by waiting and seeing where it goes.
That’s good to hear. If it’s basically Ark but I can shoot Pokemon, I’ll probably find it fun. But yeah, I’ll hold out for a couple months to see where it goes.

I’m actually shocked this game ended up being good, I was convinced it would be a meme cashgrab.
No saying it isn’t. There are a lot of people, gamers especially, who will throw money at a meme pit.
But maybe it’s good. I haven’t played it
All the reviews are “wow I cant believe its not a meme pit!”
It has very positive reviews so far

I jokingly said it feels like Breath of the Pokemon: Survival Evolved.
That’s not a complaint, to be clear, they’re just very clearly taking some cues from other games.

Can it be played mostly single player?
Some console versions have a player max of 4 per server, so it seems to be single player dominant currently
Yeah - I’m currently playing solo so I can progress at my own pace.
