If I could give this game a neutral review I would. I wish that was an option for Early Access games in particular as I don't recommend buying this now, but probably will recommend it in a year or two.

It looks beautiful and they've really managed to capture a stunning rainforest look and feel. None of the survival mechanics I came across were revolutionary, but they were all smart and really well implemented. The Story mode also seems to hold genuine promise once the developers have properly added that to the game.

I am writing this review for more casual survival players like me and the Story mode is currently only just a 30min taster of the final game though. And the Survival mode is punishingly difficult. As in, if you get bitten by a rattle snake early in a run, but don't have any access to the required meds, you're done for. I guess that's like real life eh... Certainly for more casual surivalists like myself I would recommend waiting until the full release with the Story mode completed.

However, if you are a keen survival game player then there is probably plenty enough for you to like as it is right now and I'd say you should at least give it a go - you can always refund like I have and buy it again on full release if you're not convinced by it yet! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out in another 18 months or so....
