This game does not respect your time AT ALL. Ive played many survival games...easy, hard, no grind, tons of grind...but THIS survival game is just not it. It has an obnoxious, repetitive, and completely rng gameplay loop consisting of wandering a totally empty map searching for RANDOM loot boxes that spawn RANDOMLY in the grass to get RANDOM rewards to just hopefully get some crafting components so you can make one…

It's fine. Allowances given for a solo dev; so I've given a thumb up. Once I got to grips with the mechanics I started wondering why I don't just play Scum instead; which is better in every regard. Actually, thinking about it: this game lanuched 10 years ago and is still presented as early access. Why Steam allows this I've no idea. Thumb down.
