I really wanted to like this game... Conceptually, it's everything I've been waiting for. Nobody has made a truly good Exploration+Survival+Driving genre mashup... and unfortunately, that is still the case here. I can't find myself to play this game anymore without getting bored. It hurts to say this, but it feels tedious. And lonely.

In all fairness, a negative recommendation is a bit harsh because: 1) I haven't played through the entire game yet, and 2) There's no glaring technical issues or deceptive marketing practices, in my opinion. The main issue is it feels very overpriced and over-hyped for what it is.

The game shrouds itself in a sense of mystery, and its strongest feature is the atmosphere. But the gameplay is repetitive and shallow. Drive here, grab this, craft that, slowly make upgrades while managing resources and dodging obstacles - Then, rinse and repeat. With no co-op aspects (I only mention that because that WOULD make the game worth the asking price), and rough optimization/graphics, it's not sustainably entertaining in the long run.

So in summary, don't expect anything at all more than LITERALLY what you see in the gameplay trailers, and try it out as much as you can before the Steam refund period ends. You can tell if you're going to enjoy everything this game has to offer or not within the first hour or so.
