I didn't know too much about the story when I saw this. Surprised it doesn't seem to be well known and got some bad reviews? It did feel like a mix of films from the likes of Gamer, Total Recall, Matrix, Blade Runner, irobot and even A.I. In the near future people plug in using their brains to control a robot which effectively they use to live their day to day lives. No danger of disease, accidents, violence and of course you can look like whatever you want to through your surrogate. Until someone found a way of destroying the robot also kills the controller while they are plugged in! This has a good cast, cool effects and was enjoyable to watch. Highly unoriginal though and it did feel like a collection of ideas from the mentioned films. Never the less this is still an entertaining film worth checking out!!

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.
