Despite the mixed reviews I went against what they said and bought it anyway, and if I’m being honest, I really like the game.
I see a lot of great potential and promise unlike some other games that just money grabbed and left. These developers have actual talent and the know-how to make a fantastic game, and so far (with the exception of bugs and lack of game play at the moment), it seems to be working great and progressing really well.
I would recommend this game to those that like a more chill and progressive type of game play and don’t mind the player base (which is currently very low). The models are fantastic however the lack of sound from them is quite annoying as only the elk and tiger produce a form of a call (from what I know), and the elk call is extremely loud and overbearing and the starter animals that you wish to play as have no attack animation making you completely defenseless against others that wish to attack you. However on the bright side you are small and almost quick enough to get away (despite the raccoon, its pretty slow, but the rabbit has such a little hitbox that its very hard to eat unless you are a smaller creature such as a fox).

So lets start with the cons,
the game is obviously a bit buggy but i appreciate that the devs acknowledge that at the start of the menu instead of trying to pass it off as a complete game. And there is really no single player content whatsoever, and 1 other person playing on any of the servers. Obviously, if this were a fully released game these would be deal breakers, but its still early access and they’re still adding updates. On top of that, the map is big and beautiful, and animal graphics are stunning and the phsysics are super realistic which i love. So for those reasons and the hope that they will add more content to this game, Im not gonna refund it.

Blight
Blight is an extremely challenging and realistic single-player top-down perspective survival game.
The Blight
A mysterious new disease called the Blight has descended upon the land. You have managed to escape its devastating effects as it has consumed your village and left it to ruins - You now find yourself alone in the wilderness, tired and hungry. You’ve bought yourself some time, but for how long? The Blight grows larger every day, consuming everything in sight…
Realism
The game strives on providing a punishingly realistic and immersive experience with a ton of depth. Actions like chopping trees and cooking food take a lot of precious time. You can only carry a few things at a time. You need to boil water to make sure it’s safe to drink. Water and other liquids need to be carried in bowls and other containers, and will spill out if not transported securely. You will need to scavenge numerous raw materials, many of which will need to be processed, combined, treated or hardened to make tools, items and structures.
Challenge
The Blight is just one of many threats to your existence in the unforgiving wilderness. After quickly setting up camp you will constantly need to keep yourself well fed and hydrated, replenish lost energy with sleep and short rests, defend yourself from the wild beasts that still inhabit the woods, heal your wounds, protect yourself from the harsh elements, and figure out a way to somehow end this terrible disease. Almost everything in the procedurally generated world can and will kill you if you aren’t careful.
There are whispers of Druids in a far off land that may know more about the Blight…

The game’s pretty great and gets really fun with its art/style. The modding community’s pretty alright as well! I had almost gotten to most of the in-game achievements but recently had to restart due to replacing a hard drive, still going to play through it again! Love this game.
P.S. OH BABY YEAH WE HEARD FROM THE DEV!

This review is written around the start of early access (Version 1.0.2). The game has 3 areas and 19 achievements when I write this. There will be added more later during EA and so the achievement information might be out of date by that time.
Approximate amount of time to 100%: ~3h
Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10

BattleCore Arena
Very well-made game! Imagine Marble Blast mixed with Unreal Tournament stuffed into a sumo-ring… This is a recipe for competitive fun, especially if you love aim-heavy arena shooters such as Quake, CS:GO, and UT. Although this game is in Early Access and has a small player-base, it is worth a buy and giving it a try. The developers are HIGHLY active and aspire to continue to greaten the game, unlike other fun games that showed promise, but lacked a devoted dev team.
This game wants YOU! If you are poor and don’t want to pay for it, then hopefully you read this and copy&paste this steam gift key… Enjoy! ;D

This game is worth a shot if you are into arena shooters and want a new twist to it. There is tons of customization options which (in my experience) takes 15-20 or so hours to unlock it all. The game (at its current state) has no Micro-Transactions. However, Keep in mind that the playerbase is lacking and you will most likely be spending all of your time with bots.

Exodus Borealis
I feel like it is important to point that this game this is made by solo dev, who has been great at interacting with everyone in discord and is willing to listen. Now those of us that have dipped into the early access games will know that this is something to cherish lol.
Also the Gameplay well let me go into more detail about that, but it is important to remember that it is early access so may change after i write this review but what i have found so far is:
Tower defence - The towers have this kinda Age of Empires feel to them this brings back that old nostalgia i love that! There also is an Arachnophobia mode this is something i recommend you play i wont tell you why, just trust me it is worth it! The enemy ramp up nicely giving a good amount of failure and felt to me like fun Gameplay

This game is excellent for civ building and tower defense gamers. I am a seasoned (72 years old) player of both. The combo of both makes the game intriguing and challenging. It has depth without drudgery. Folks who do not play either of these genres may like this one just for that reason. To me there is a third aspect included - research. Which path should you choose first. There is no formula - one choice may be the best this go round but not in the same sequence the next time. And there will be a next time as you progress from map to map. Deciding how to allocate workers is another juggling complexity. The Dev’s UI design is a thing of beauty. Easy to use, informative info tips and an effective warning/informing system. Whatever your gaming proclivity I encourage you to give this one a try. It is just that unique.
