Wrong call. The mechanic is fine, really adds to the atmosphere, the game just isn’t (or wasn’t at the time i played it) in a place where it’s fun to routinely play yet. The thing they actually need to look at is the elite hunters being called in a sun m soon as you do anything.
It was a stupid mechanic, and the reason I lost interest in the game.
Same, may give it another try now that I’m not locked out of progression.
I was hyped when I first heard about it. And with them dropping the shitty mechanic that was putting me off, I’ll definitely grab it at some point.
Looks like it’s 20% off right now, but reading through the recent(ish) reviews, it looks like it’s still in a state that I would likely find aggravating. Namely AI jank, and enemies spawning/despawning while in view.
That said, a positive review makes an excellent point:

We bullied the devs into releasing the game early and are upset that it’s unfinished. I love the concept, but still needs a ton of polish and tweaks to be perfect. Give em time to cook.
It’s been on my wishlist, despite the now defunct water mechanic, since I heard about it. And I’ll give the Devs the time they need to cook.
