It will destroy your life, Great game but a huge time sink.

Cutting to the chase, it's a great game. you'll lose hours of your life tweaking, changing and experimenting.
I would suggest not to over use blueprints from the web. Make your own for your 1st few games and even then the game loses something, if you just copy and paste other peoples factory's.

A true gem in factory style games

if you love to fight and breed your way to victory you'll love it!
There's a lot to learn and get your head round but its worth it.

So with 16 hours played,
Game looks and runs great on my rig. Solid 60fps with little dips in towns on a nVida 1080 very high settings.

The crafting is pretty fun and engaging and feels like some love has go into system and for me has be a hi-lite so far. Coming from the WOW days when materials were a grind and crafting seemed meaningful, it has been enjoyable.
Combat feels a little hit hit block/dodge repeat so far, not feeling as fluid as say ESO's Combat.

Questing has been fun so far but may get old as there doesn't seem to be much variety in the quests or mob types, There seems to be no real discovery of quests in the wild (maybe I just havn't found them), I enjoy just coming across a little side quest, long or short.

Fishing also has obviously had some love, as it involves bait types, casting and playing the fish. The little touch of what you catch, looking like the fish species including its size only adds to the experience.

Wandering around with PvP toggled on has so far not provided me with no combat. I am also unsure how pleasant clans will make the game lording over players and setting taxes on towns they control. Time will tell I guess.

To some up, the game has a long way to go. I truly hope Amazon succeed where so many fail in delivering an engaging game that endures. Is it worth the money? Sure, I believe so. There are many hours to enjoy yet, the trick is, will the end game deliver and make it worthwhile.

So far I have 40 hours in the game. The game runs well, inviting friend to play has been trouble free. There is a lot of content to progress through, speaking of which the progress has a nice pace to it. Well done to the Devs :)
