Worse, the cost of blueprints needed to unlock the crafting means you will be poor right up until the endgame arrives. You invest heavily in workshops, travelling to find raw resources, etc and time crafting to make only slightly more on a copper dagger over a stone dagger, which you can spit out tens of in no time.

Not only do you have to travel to an established village to sell anything (workers at your village don't produce coin), but the more advanced items have nowhere near the return on investment needed to make them worthwhile. Your village just grows if you want it to. All that's left is building for the sake of building. Oh, and you can't fast travel to your village.īy the time you have your village to state where you can have a child, you've basically finished the game. Meaning you have to grind to unlock them, then travel back to your village every time your item breaks since your carry capacity is so tiny. While meat is pathetic for some reason, it's so plentiful once you find a bow, you don't need to worry.Ĭrafting is pretty good except you can only use the workbenches at your village. Luckily you can turn it off in the settings.įood and water are pretty minor inconveniences, there is water absolutely everywhere and it's safe to drink. Your stamina depletes too quickly, making travelling, building and hunting small animals a chore. Luckily you can turn off carry capacity in the settings, even though i usually love inventory management. Somehow, vehicles like travois or hand carts or even the simple packs you see in illustrations. Your carry capacity is tiny, and you can't upgrade it at all until the early mid game, and even then it's tiny until you can unlock a mount. Hunting is okay, though animals have too much health, making it a bit of a boring grind, luckily you can turn their health down in the settings. There are also fast travel carts, but again, cost more money than you will have to spare until late in the game. You can get a horse, but it costs more money that you will realistically have until very late in the game. Much of the game is spent walking between villages, which takes a lot of real time as they are moderately far apart.

Almost everything else is flawed, requires twiddling with the settings, or is borderline broken. Main story is really well written and interesting.
