I recommend you watch a Let's Play or come back when it's finished. It's gonna be a great game, but it's not there yet.

The first 2 hours of Survival Mode were fun, but then I hit a tech ceiling due to a lack of blueprints & missing resources. It can take 30+ minutes of searching to find a new blueprint or resource. When you're stuck with basic gear, this searching gets pretty boring and the new thing you unlock is usually completely underwhelming after putting so much effort in. According to the wiki, there's a lot of gear that you can find, but most of it has very specific locations in the ocean. Even with this knowledge, it's kind of tedious collecting gear.

It seems like they're planning to put more story in. When there's actually objectives and stuff to do in the world, it's gonna be a lot of fun for more than 2 hours.
