What players say

Players praise this as a rare peaceful survival game with no combat and beautiful scenery. The core loop of building, farming, and exploring is well liked, but there are mixed feelings about the lack of guidance: some enjoy the freedom while many others find it frustratingly vague, especially around basic mechanics like mining large stones.
