I have re visited the game during its development so I have a bit more Playtime than you need to finish it which should be around 30 Hours (mostly exploration and a bit of grind).

The early game is exciting as there are a ton of things to explore, craft, gather and creature to be scared of.

The mid game still feels the same way as you get your first vehicle to dive deeper into the unknown which gets more dangerous dark and scary.

But once you built all vehicles you quickly enter the late game. You have learned how the game works, built a base to secure food and water supply and unlocked most recipes. And yet the game does not get more difficult to counter your advancement somehow, nor does the story unfold enough to be Interesting. building the "last vehicle" is a perfect example of this. you just gather resources you have gathered before in biomes you have visited before that didn't change since the early game at all except that you flash trough them as you know exactly what to look for.

to sum the endgame up it is like playing an exploration game where you have already explored everything and the story doesn't help that as its a bit underwhelming.

All in all the game is pretty enjoyable to play for a dozen hours or more but don't expect a great ending
