The game has an entire fleet of survival mechanics- dangerous animals, weather, plants, diseases, injuries, hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. Every element is impactful and requires balance and/or attention.
I've culled my old review based on some time spent within the long-defunct demo. After jumping into the updated content, I'll update this section, so keep an eye on the changelog in the Notes tab.
