ngl I started enjoying this more once I installed the gravekeeper mod. I didn't mind the "lose everything upon death and then mad-dash back to get it" mechanic at first, but by the time you're trying to do harder stuff like get iron out of the crypts in the tough swamp areas, my friend and I just got fed up with it. Play sessions increasingly became "someone died in a tough area so now we spend 1-2 hours working to get the stuff back" and we just lost patience.
The game is quite fun once you get over that annoying hurdle.
great game but the death loop of spending an entire in-game week trying to get your items back when you make a stupid mistake in a dangerous area + constantly being harrassed by little squadrons of graydrawves any time you build anywhere kind of makes me lose my mind sometimes
this game made me realise that if I was teleported back in time to be amongst cavemen, I would probably progress technology backwards. I had to see someone online post about a sun dial to realise that would work.
This game absolutely rules but the devs ran out of excuses so long ago that I dock it a point. It's a lot of fun with friends but holy shit you should be adding a new biome once every few months, not waiting until 2025 to finish a game.
