- Optional VR support on PC/PS5 adds strong immersion
- Chill, sandbox loop that rewards curiosity and creativity
Cons
- Core loop can feel grindy and repetitive over long sessions
- Onboarding/tutorials still leave some systems opaque
- Inventory/economy micromanagement can be fiddly
- Performance and clarity vary in VR and on lower-end hardware
- Story is thin; goals are largely self-directed
