What players say

92% of 7,162 reviews are positive · 93% of 33 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the flexible building and crafting, especially the way quests and story give their projects direction. Their main complaint is the frequent, lengthy dialogue that interrupts building and slows progression; some also find combat shallow. Several players report save corruption, poor keyboard-and-mouse or controller behavior, and Windows performance or startup problems.
