What drives the score

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
the game unfortunately still feels as barebones as it was in early access while we get spammed with merch drops and updates that add very little else outside of cosmetic content labeled as major updates

Genuinely disappointed in how much of a grind it is, and the RNG is much more frustrating than the first game. While I conceptually enjoyed the idea of the weather system, for example, it too me the full 131 hours to get a dervish slime to spawn (that was the last thing I needed for the slimepedia, and I couldn't use a prickly pear + master snare to try and get one after completing every other aspect of the game)...
So sad I can't erase my memory to replay this game over and over again. If 282 hours doesn't say enough then idk what does.
