A wonderfully enchanting adventure for any Harry Potter fan.
The action is quick, responsive and smooth. I quite enjoyed it!
The story is enjoyable as well. Some things were a little repetitive, but I find myself hard pressed to find any game that doesn't have some level of repetition to it in some form or other.
And I loved having my own customizable room. (But I love games that take allow for customization)
The graphics were beautiful and the castle felt immense! And having a world to explore outside of it as well was a lot of fun. If I was to make one request for a potential sequel to this, is to have an up to 4-player coop ability. I think tackling Hogwarts with friends would be the icing on top.

28 hours into this game so far, and I'm quite addicted. Ignore those that say this is a pokemon clone, because the only similarities that is has with pokemon is the style of Pals and the balls. But that's where the similarities stop. This game is a gem on it's own, and I'm happy I gave it a shot. It still has some work to do, but honestly, the amount of fun I have distract me from the occasional lag issues.

I'll be honest, the game by itself is just...ok. The mechanics can be fun, sure..but the real fun from this game comes from the community you play it with. I am heavily into RP, and with some good mods and a good community, this is one of the most fun games. It's by no means perfect, but can be tons of fun.

Cons
The game can have quite a few bugs still, from mechanical issues, clipping issues, and more which can lead the experience occasionally with a sour taste in your mouth.
Combat is mediocre but passable. Better than Ark, anyway
The SOTD could use different spawn points. The amount of times we've had members change grids only to load right on top of a sotd and get sunk before they're even fully loaded in is kinda rediculus.
I hate animal taming in this game. I let other people tame animals for me.
I wish islands had a bit more to them sometimes

Pros
The ship mechanics are really nice. I love the utilization of wind as a means of getting around
Building with mods can be a lot of fun
I love that there's a whisper/talk/shout voip option for communication. Makes RP very nice.
The visuals in this game can sometimes be very aesthetically pleasing.

The game shows incredible promise. As a DnD player myself, I have been getting so tickled at all the little mechanics which tie this game together with the beloved TTRPG. That being said, this is still very much an early access title. And when it says Early access, it means it. It is by no means complete, and does suffer from bugs and issues, such as text box's locking up or hiding options, item duplicate bugs, and more. But the devs appear to be listening and taking note of the issues, and have a place to report said problems. Once those problems have been ironed out, and the story fully completed, I can see this title easily making it to one of my top favorites.

Vegas Pro has helped me get my foot back in the door of video editing. It has a nice selection of options for video fx, transitions, and media generation. I've also only had it crash on me once in the middle of a project, which is a big deal when working on larger edited videos. So just save often. But if you're used to working with software, you should have that habit engraved in your brain anyway. Overall it's a very nice product, and helps me get the job done. I'm still learning more about it's capabilities every day.

I have been having so much fun with this title! I can't wait till it's more stabilized, as it took me 4 hours to actually get on a server yesterday, but once it's optimized, I feel like this could rival some of the best titles out there in my personal opinion. Hunting, gathering, building, riding dinos...yeah...
