It makes my hands sweat. 11/10 for awakening my dormant vertigo.

My first impressions are very favorable! The levels in this game are more spacious than its predecessor. Character classes are leveled more deliberately - players are free to level individual stats as they see fit so you could conceivably make a tanky wizard or an intelligent warrior. There is equipment you find which you retain after death and these can change your primary attack as well as provide armor and stats boosts. Collecting lumber, ore, and other materials on each run you slowly develop your town from a sad array of tents into a proper little holdfast. I'm eager to progress, both to explore different character abilities and to see what new features may be available once the town takes full shape. All in all, it feels like the lovechild of the first Heroes of Hammerwatch and Diablo and, frankly, it's really, really fun. Two thumbs up!

Your WORK is not meant to earn PROFIT for yourself, but for the COMPANY to whom you have surrendered.

A frenetic and highly engaging rouge-like. I'm not a typical fan of twitch fps games but the rapid pace, bumping bass, and overall peppy atmosphere make even losing rather enjoyable. It feel great when you hit on a combo of guns and perks which just overwhelm your opponents! Play with friends and you'll have a killer time for sure.

Early Access Review
A pretty compelling "The Thing" game in point of fact and the most recent updates improve the experience markedly. The gameplay is fun and challenging. There is a rather steep learning curve but learning from your mistakes is part of the enjoyment! It's spooky and tense but not petrifying so even non-fans of horror games won't be put off. I would heartily recommend this game for anyone who's a fan of the source material.

Fantastic. Kinetic. Chaotic. Terrific. A triumph!
A joy to play and replay again and again. It's fun solo but really shines with a group of good friends.
This game reminds me why I fell in love with video games in the first place.

Having waited for the game to be updated I can now safely say that it plays well and is an enjoyable experience. I waited for the textures to finish rendering before starting a new game (it only took about 20 minutes or so, not too long) and so far have not had one issue - no bugs, no hiccups, no slowdowns.

I finally see what the fuss is about. Can't wait for Part II (and a better Day One release...)

The comparisons with Breath of the Wild are inevitable these days and this title certainly deserves to be mentioned in the same breath, both in terms of scope and vision. However, it plays like Dark Souls - which is great if that's what you're into. The world is teeming with curiosities and monstrosities in equal measure and for my part I feel I've only scratched the surface.

As of this writing there are a few hiccups with frame rates and the occasional slowdown but it isn't anything game breaking or even particularly irritating. Optimizations have been promised by the developers and I suspect with time things will improve but understand that it is absolutely playable right now and is heaps of fun.

Hopefully I'll see your phantom in the lands between. Praise the S̶u̶n̶ Ring!

Played on the following hardware:
Ryzen 2600X
16 GB DDR4 3000Mhz
RX580 8GB
M.2 SSD

I bought this game on a whim as I was looking for an online alternative to Roll20 for some tabletop RPG games. Boy was I surprised to discover a new favorite.

The customization of this game is unparalleled. Make your own game or play an established IP. You can play any number of board games, many classics come included. Combined with the rich workshop content you really can never get bored.

Grab some friends and cozy up around a virtual table for some good times.
