Like Fallout in space.

If you have played Fallout you will feel at home with this game from part of the team who made New Vegas and even though it isn't part of the Fallout series it does have the feel of a distant cousin.

Although I'm still only part way through, it is one of the best games I have played recently, it is colourful, fun, tough choices need to be made and feels like things you do actually matter to the world around you...

It would be nice to have a third person view choice as in Fallout and it is a bit annoying when attempt to do a task and you end up drawing your gun by mistake but these are not enough of a problem to ruin the game...

Movie Rating Watch

The movie was really good i loved it cinematic ally and visually it was excellent it was a film I was so excited for and the whole cast is incredible. (1 more)

Johnny Depp is the best person to play Grindelwald and Jude law as a young dumbledore is just out of this world. All actors in the movie are magical and out of this world.

My only grievance is the fact the film has lost some of what was established character wise with the Harry Potter characters. Other than that excellent film (0 more)

The good and the bad

The film is incredible and the 3rd film is highly anticipated but they better bring back Johnny Depp and Jude law

Book Rating

A servant girl flees colonial Jamestown, leaving behind starvation, hardship and something even worse. She has to survive in the wilderness with only her wits and a few possessions.

This book was breathtaking - the whole story is told through the thoughts of a servant girl (in the 3rd person). Yet it doesn’t, at any point, become boring. There’s so much going on: her escape, her methods of survival, the people and animals she nearly meets along the way, the landscape and its contrast to the squalor of “civilised” life left behind in Jamestown. You can feel her desperation to get away, he wonder at what she sees and her drive to survive.

Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.

Quite immersive, you really get invested in your clan's success. (3 more)

Challenging ... you have to evolve and discover yourself all aspects of the game. Great if you love a challenge!

It's refreshingly different from other open world / survival games.

Slow paced ... can be relaxing to just amble around, perhaps that's just me though lol.

Prepare and expect to fail, a lot. It's part of the learning process. (4 more)

It's not easy - no manual or tutorial. You have to learn everything for yourself.

Accidents / death can set you back lots.

Slow paced (also good point, if that's what you want)

Long-ish cut scenes and loading times.

3rd person survival; evolution from ape to nearly mankind

I personally like this game, but I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. I'd recommend checking out some gameplay vids before investing your hard earned money and time in it.
