This game is friggin' amazing. I literally cannot stop playing. When I am not exploring, I am gathering resources. When I'm not doing that, I'm crafting, or building my settlement, or growing the number of my followers, or designing new things with the new materials or art styles I find in new biomes, or fighting newer and harder bosses in the endgame arena, or or or collecting cool items and a score of other things there is to do.

The game would seem just cute and simple -- and at the start, it is -- but it has so many layers and the game can be as difficult as where you dare to explore. Building and growing your settlement is fun and entertaining. Fighting monsters, gathering pets... improving gear, accumulating wealth... it's all a blast -- and just when you think the game is over, there is an entire endgame to challenge you and it's still just in early access!

To give you an idea of how good my endorsement of the game is... it was almost too difficult to tear myself away from playing to write the review it deserved!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This game scratches almost every itch. Resource collecting, basic combat, survival, dungeon crawler - etc.
I've played 16 hours in the last 32 and Necesse deserves every second of my attention.
