I was stoked to boot it up and like…what? It’s such a stupid game on all fronts. I get that stealing mechanics works if you’re into that kind of gameplay, but there’s no way that anyone other than pokemon obsessed people enjoy this. Even then, it’s such a poor analog for actual pokemon games. I feel like it’s “success” is all media buzz. Every actual human in my life agrees it’s terrible. Even my partner who is actually pokemon obsessed lol. But the coverage on the internet would have you believe it’s goty contender. I have never felt more convinced that we are living in a simulation lol. I can’t be alone in this, am I? Is there where I learn that I’m that far out of touch? Like, truly, if you enjoy it, good for you. We all have things we love that others don’t get. But like, someone please tell me I’m not the only one lol.
It’s not for people who don’t like survival games. It’s casual survival for people who don’t want to be ground to dust just trying out a game. Saying they don’t “really” like survival games sounds gatekeep-y.
I sure am glad it lets you set up several world attributes when you play singleplayer, and that it currently lacks PvP. It’s already punishing to have to corpse run as is, imagine it being literally impossible to even get your first pal on any server without being killed by a bunch of griefing tryhards
I was being pithy. Apologies. No intention to offend, just talking video games. Super low stakes here.
