BADGES

Navigation and Interface

Really liking all the fun simple interface tools, makes learning the game a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Game Play

Allowing the gamer to create trail makers with unique icons to find their way back is amazing. This made navigating this game SO much easier than other survival games.

  • Overall this game is much better than I anticipated. Still a lot to figure out, but I really enjoyed all I was doing as I progresses through the game so far.
  • There is a few game play things I thought were annoying but there was more things I enjoyed.
  • The commentary from my character is subtle but actually enjoyable as well, however I feel at some point this will get annoying.
  • The controls and play style seem quick and easy to grasp, I have noticed its easier to be in first person in tunnels and such or fighting specific mobs.
  • Still lacking stuff to build for me, I like to build everything all the time just to see what it does. I assume I will get more schematics the more I progress through the main story quest which gets me excited to play more.
  • The art style and the interface are smooth and crisp and are overall very pleasing yet simple.
  • I think one of the most impressive things about this game so far is the stories mystery and how we collect pieces of Dr. Wendell's story as well as we go. All the while, having an up beat attitude in of the characters.

  • Getting a bit more excited about this game, the fun fact that it is co-op (up to 4) is great.
  • The Microsoft authenticator in the game is kind of a bummer, really hate to see this kind of thing.
    • As a side note at least it was mostly painless
  • I purchased the game on Steam and was able cross play with buddies from Microsoft game pass! Well done!
  • Friends lists are actually done on the Microsoft side sadly, which makes for a kind of awkward friending session.
  • Once everything is setup, creating and joining friends sessions is very simple an easy.

  • A colleague recommended this game and told me its  a survival game about being tiny in the backyard.
    • The way it was described leads me to think this game is a kids game and not very well rounded.
  • I do like a good survival game and since I have played my share of game survival games, I thought I would take too it.
  • Graphics from the brief videos I saw seemed a bit lack luster but still polished, can't hate it if it works well.
  • Other than what I have heard from my colleagues and fellow employees I know nothing about this game!
