My Thoughts
I’m notoriously bad at completing anything story related in games- but I did complete (and like!) the story mode in the base game. It was actually a very interesting & trippy experience. Sandbox wise, the detailed crafting style is a bit addictive- I always like having to figure things out. The jungle, while gorgeously deadly, did became monotonous to me after a while- I think I’ve been spoiled by all of these titles with seasons or biomes. I started to mess around with the Spirits of Amazonia DLC series, but I had to bail on it partway. I think WoW killed my ability to handle having to grind reputation(s) in a game. Overall though, I give it a yay and encourage you to try it out- you won’t be disappointed.
