    This is exactly what I have been looking for: a truly amazing, beautiful early-access game. It's not too buggy. After 24 hours, I am hooked. Yes, you have pressure to eat and drink, but otherwise you can play at any pace you like. I am stashing water and food so I can cut back at my leisure. I believe it's from a single developer; very well done indeed. The gameplay is flexible and enjoyable, which keeps me coming…

    A great game very similar to stranded deep but with a few more extras. I'm well aware that the developer is spending their time wisely and providing quite regular updates. This game is a nice way to kill a few hours (and indigenous people, wild cats and more)

    Away From Life tries to combine Rust and Green Hell, two very different games, but ends up feeling like a directionless mess. Is it an exploration game? A base-building game? Something else entirely? I honestly can’t tell, and I’m not sure the developer can either.
