Early game is FUN, but to finish the game you have to build something to escape the islands. That means finding blueprints scattered all over at least 6 islands covered in leaves and rocks, and it takes some time to sail between them.
Once you've been over every inch of all of them multiple times, you find you're still missing one or two and can't finish the game. There is no mechanism to find them, you just stumble across them. Or you don't.
And if you fluke that you DO find them, it's then an excruciating grind of visiting all those islands again to look for components you may still be lacking.
Who the hell thought that would be fun?

its cool but needs better optimization

I had my doubts about this game when I picked it up on sale for $7.99. I figured a game that came out 6 months ago and was already 60% off was probably not worth my time but, for $8, why not? I could always refund it if it really sucked. Well, that two hours came and went. I'm at 38hrs and starting a new game now that I know what I'm doing. :)

The two bug/glitches I've seen in the game in those 38hrs is, I went to sleep one night, woke up to a very bad storm and couldn't see squat. All my lights were on, but the game was super duper dark no matter what I did. So, I saved again, reloaded the save and it was fine. That was about 30hrs in, and really not something to write home about. I've also had a couple objects go missing when piling them up, like a chunk of ore would just disappear through the floor. But that's it and I've only seen the darkness once and the ore thing maybe twice. That's it.

My complains about the game are singular. The raft is too dmn slow. It doens't have to be a thoroughbred racing boat, but it could go faster than it does. It shouldn't take a full day to get between the two most distant islands that are maybe 3mi apart, esp if you have the wind at your back, and who knows where the wind is anyway, because it seems to have zero effect on the sails. The number of sails seems to determine your speed (I've read it's a max 3 sails) and not the wind. It has no effect whatsoever.

Other than that, I love this game. I like it so much, I'm concerned about the 60% discount and if they really intend to take this further to it's completion.
