Personally, it's the best survival crafter. I have such high regard for it. The fact that it's not procedurally generated, and still has over 100 hours of well designed map to comb through is nuts.

I understand that, much like everything, it's not going to be perfect for everyone, but I always recommend it to people that like survival crafters in general. It's just that good.

I've described it as "What if Half Life was a 3D Metroidvania, pretending to be a survival crafting RPG."

That's not wrong. Lol. Though I want to say metroidvanias usually only have you go back to older areas just to grab gear you've missed. Sometimes for mats, but that's pretty rare. You do it in Abiotic for those reasons and more. Lol.

I wouldn't say it's pretending to be a survival crafting RPG though. I still remember my shock at a specific event. (I can't recall formatting for spoilers so...)

I really wish it was better optimised but it runs pretty badly

I have a mid tier rig realistically. Runs fine for me. Not to say it couldn't run better, but I play it on near max and get over 60fps stable.

Relevant specs: Ryzen 9 3900x, 32gb ddr4, 3060ti, installed to SSD

Yeah it's mostly me whining haha, the game just feels like it should run much smoother than it does but that's just my vibes. It's obviously a very good game

Personally disagree. It's an enjoyable game with 10/10 vibes, but the combat is probably some of the worst in any survival crafting game I've ever played and by the end I was so fucking over the amount of back tracking the game makes you do.
