The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want to tame, build, and survive in a huge open world, alone or with a tribe.: Every session starts with a wild landscape and ends with a new base, a tamed creature, or a story your tribe will retell. Tradeoff: Heavy gathering and uneven performance can make the early hours feel like work before the payoff arrives.
