What players say
Players praise the cultural setting and the music, but they find the game very short, around two hours, and plagued by bugs, with a controller not working on some systems. The survival mechanics feel shallow, and players can easily exploit infinite water. Reviews split on whether the cultural experience outweighs the repetitive point-a-to-b gameplay.
