Why is this game so good?

It's an early access survival game. Absolute steam fodder description on first glance that looks bad in screenshots.

But then you play it… a small raven guides you. Building seems whatever and janky – but you need a small roof over your crafting station no biggee. Oh look maybe ill build a house.. and an outpost… oh ive now played 5 hours and only built a longhouse today. The combat is actually good, but its no souls… but it still does enough right to where it feels proper good. It looks fantastic and has phenomonal atmosphere despite having "terrible" graphics. The world sim is oustanding…

This game has no right to be anywhere near as fun as it is, yet it is. Theres no one standout part of the game but just so so many small good parts, so many little QOL features.

Its fucking awesome. And I can't really explain why exactly. It has to be played to be understood. What a game.
