Have only watched this on streams and from some distance it looks good but when the camera gets near something, it's like Minecraft.
And those wind streams, or whatever they are really called, look like arrows or some other projectiles and always make me nervous. Probably not a problem when playing but for watching it's so annoying.
The graphics are ok i think. I guess it depends on what you compare to, for this game you might want to compare to minecraft, and it does look way better than that..
I played for 30 mins. It seems to play 100% like all other survival games. Not entirely sure if this has anything that for example Conan Exiles doesnt? The world here is procedural, which i do prefer for games like this..
Good that you can swim, hope they extend that so that you can dive. I don't get why swimming hurts you, fucking hate that in games, so stupid.
Still, pretty dumb. I tried running a lot and i never got to a point when it hurt my character.
The FAQ doesn't really mention anything interesting, it's 100% standard survival but without many of the mechanics like for example minecraft have where you can dig out the landscape etc + tons of other stuff you can do there. But im probably gonna keep it, will be interesting to follow.

the game is fairly generic so to speak but it's a polished effort with a solid world that doesn't rely on pvp for fun and the combat is also leagues better than conan so that helps. either way i'm having fun with it right now
as for swimming, yeah its pretty brutal but if you run out of stamina in water you do tend to drown
I agree that it seems polished. Combat seems as simple as it gets, not sure i get the Dark Souls references i've seen. Conan is pretty much the same, no?
The praise is a little weird to me, not saying it's bad, but in terms of gameplay this does not stand out in any way to me to the hundreds (if not thousands by now) survival RPG's. It seems to me people are just starving for graphics that aren't the super generic type and they want something which somewhat resembles minecraft or retro graphics. The devs really hit a homerun there, good market research or just luck.
watched the worthabuy video about this yesterday and he praised it like crazy, best survival game over, goty, but the whole time I was thinking... you were just having a blast exploring a new unknown game for the first time with 5 friends
the game's gotta be really terrible for that not to be a lot of fun.
I haven't seen anything that really makes this so great?
how is it solo?

solo is good, i've been playing 2p coop and solo on the side.. it is a little labor intensive in the bronze age, but nothing like other 'survival' games. i played the pirate version for about 30 mins then bought it.. but i play every survival-shit under the sun, and i'm a sucker for procedural games.
the game is just well put together from top to bottom (except maybe the poor snapping system for building), all the game and survival mechanics have some thought put into them; basically its just an enjoyable game, not something to break records with.
Good review i thought. edit: ah, i see Surray mentions it above. Yeah, i agree that it doesn't do anything new, and that's what he says too, he basically says it just does it way better.
I got so bored by Conan Exiles, i have a feeling this would bore me too, at least in SP. Like you say, in MP almost anything is elevated..
facking streamers jumping on it like the bloodthirsty attention whores they are , the boss fights looked dull in wab video, he spends 6 mins to say how good it is but what he shows on his video screen loooks sooo dull n repetitive ...
it better have tons of different monsters n mechanics cause wabs video isnt showing them, just same old ogre the whole time zz and two seamonsters
I refunded it as well. it did have something, but i think that was the graphics, that it wasn't what you usually get, the super generic graphics which looks like every other modern 3D game. so fucking bored of it, so that part i liked, the rest, when i got into the whole picking up rocks and sticks i could only think of Conan and it turned me off immensely.

at this point i gotta wonder what exactly you expected out of it although i understand the trauma of conan exiles also
