Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.

Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?

If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?

My view is in the comments...

Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

I don't usually go with new games. I tend to wait a few weeks or a month first for the hype to die down, see the reviews and wait for big bugs to be squashed, but really fancied the look of this one. Tried it, and I'm pleasantly surprised with how cohesive and smooth it is. I'm told it's quite like Ark: Survival Evolved (which I bought but never played) but without painful taming mechanics. Gave it a spin, and getting so much fun. Looking forward to my next time playing it.

I have played Ark & that's a good comparison.
