It'san amazing game and I shall divide my opinion into two separate sections one being the cons and pros.
Cons: The game does have some bugs on the Mac version that could and should be solved. Some times the ceiling of a cave disappears but the barrier is still there. I sometimes get stuck in the Aurora in the flooded piping area and make myself drown there. The mecs that you eventually make don't fly in the version I have played. This is frustrating if I am stuck. You have to be clever with some creatures and I acknowledge that a good game must be balanced with adversaries they could be toned down a little.
Pros: The building and creativity of the living quarters and vehicles are awesome and fun to make. The creatures are amazing to discover. It is clever that this bright and alien game is truthfully a horror game at its core. I legitimately get ptsd when I hear the bonesharks and other aggressive fauna, which for a horror game, is a good thing. Furthermore, the story is intriguing to follow. I won't spoil anything but I think one should give this game a try even with some frustrating elements.
