As an initial review only 23 hours In, I'm reading some on the bad reviews and my initial thought is to disagree. They make this sound like a game rife with problems, and yes while it has got some improving to do, hence early access, it is not a bad game by any stretch.

Online only - seems to be a major gripe, indont know what it is about people and online games recently, there seems to be a core group of people that come along to multiplayer/online games and thunk they can whine and get it changed to solo offline for them. Yes the load screens can take a minute, and that could do eith improving. But having the realms online is great for playing eith others and opens up loads of multiplayer possibilities. I have not been disconnected or crashed out of the game once since starting. I'd say the complaints about this are not server side issues.

The game does feel ma little clunky in terms of menus etc in this first iteration, and my hope is all that will be streamlined with help from our constructive criticism. But 25 hours in and I feel I'm still just scratching the surface of what the game has to offer, and I always have something to work on and look forward to logging back in to do. To me it feels a bit like minecraft, with better graphics, a cool setting (Fae) and story quests to work on.

Puck is great i love him, yes he uses big Shakespearian words, I just think his above some people's intelligence level so that's why his disliked. But I think he fits into the world just fine. I think that just because this is a survival game and you like survival games, doesn't mean that this one is up your street, It's not just another zombie survival, it has nuance.

So to conclude, yes there are things that need ironing out and improvements to be made, but is it fun enough for me to overlook these and keep wanting to come back for more, yes. Would I recommend it, yes (just not to my 14 year old fortnite playing son, but to adults who I feel would understand the nuance and appreciate the game).
