I've been playing this game for a while now as have a lot of you, some possibly longer. Recently I've looked at and read some of the reviews for the game and there seems to be a lot of negative reviews written as of lately. So let's look at the updates: Our best update so far was the addition of water to the game following this we got a pizza oven, a bucket, a canteen and finally a use for coal. In a way I can understand how these updates can frustrate some people but @red51 is the only person developing this game. Think of him as Markus Pierson from when Minecraft was first developed, it started out as an indie game just like this one. Who knows maybe @red51 is Markus, trying to strike gold for the second time around? The work is very similar with the exception the world isn't made entirely of blocks and doesn't have portals to the End or Nether. Concept came out shortly after Microsoft bought all of Mojang's stock and took control of the game. You never know
What I'm interested in is your opinion. Are the updates too small as noted in the reviews? What's your opinion for the direction the game is going? Is it good or bad? Explain.
Here's my answer:
Yes, the updates are too small but not too small to where they kill the concept of enjoying a rather "Peaceful" game. We have no zombies, wolves, deathclaws, mirelurks or even so much as a spider trying to kill us. In a sense it does seem to take a lot of fun out of gaming and makes it a block by block game, but I still enjoy it. For the direction of the game I'm unsure on this. We are getting dungeons, very limited modding capabilities everything is going to be static unless it's an interactive script/mod everything added that's static will default to a decoration. This means you can technically add more furniture, outdoor plants, indoor plants, custom trees, flowers, and more but it won't be interactive till the source code is released to do so. Till such a time I would say the game is doing just fine.
