I really enjoy this game. I originally got it on my PS5, I'm only 6 hours into Gameplay. It's an excellent game for relaxing after work. You can play Solo or With Friends. I am mainly a Solo Player. The plot of land you are given is your personal home. Other people can come and visit, if you want them to, but you have full control.
Also: Game play is NOT the same for everyone. Some characters are given a house at the beginning and some are given a tent. My PS5 character got a house while my PC character was given a tent. I thought that was pretty cool.
Only 1 issue that I personally have: on PS5, you can't delete your character if you skipped the sign up process. I didn't realize skipping the Create an Account was a one time option.
