Most helpful reviews, 19 to 25 October

Steam’s top-ranked review for and against the game in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made. Where these 7 days had none with enough to say, the last year’s stands in, marked and dated.

its like V rising had a child with Palworld. Combat feels great, tons of combo you can do and push for better ones by clearing corrupted zones. Also got my ass kicked a bunch by the upgraded boss where you gotta use the talisman. Have yet manage to kill one those enhanced version. You can min max lots of stuff between abilities, food, perks, etc. Very cool game hope it adds ton more content on release. Could be a great pvp game also kinda like vrising

Fun game held back by archaic design and user interface. Feels like a game from the 90s and not something modern and sleek. Too many menus and submenus. Too many things requiring manual input like adding water to the tree by having to transfer and drag it from the inventory to the proper slot. Base companions don't automatically gather resources. You have to open a menu, click a button to turn on the gathering tool and then click items around the tree for creatures to chop and break to collect wood, stones, etc. What a waste of time when modern games have creatures automatically gathering resources based on their abilities like Palworld. Tutorial is just a textbox in the corner of the screen. Not interactive and things are poorly explained. Going back to the add water to the tree example, took me too long to figure how to add water to the tree. I was looking for a button to click. Not having to manually drag water from my inventory to a blank box on a menu on the other side of the screen. Hopefully there's a way to automate water gathering and depositing in the game. I didn't stick around long enough to find one and I can see having to manually add water to the tree to keep things functioning to get old real fast.
