Excellent piece, I had a very similar return to Earth when “open-world survival MMO” popped up way back then as it’s not a genre I’ve ever particularly enjoyed.
Very useful for me to read a review from someone using that same perspective, and now tempted to give it the benefit of the doubt!
Thanks for the kind words, Liam! I can safely recommend this to anyone who wants to play it as a single-player survival adventure. Even if you just play for the "main story", you'll still get 30 to 40h out of it. The world is gorgeous, voice-acting is pretty good and there are a ton of lore tidbits spread throughout the world, both in texts and voice recordings.

Thanks for the review. I'm very tempted to get this. Might do so later this year once it's settled in some more.
