“Built by redditors” is a pretty huge knock against it

[–] loobkoob@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It was somewhat less of a knock when they first started making the game; it was a successful Kickstarter project ~5 years ago so it's been in development for a while. For what it's worth, I've got ~250 hours in the game and think it's shaping up really well (you can find my not-so-mini-review elsewhere in this thread).

idk, at this point even "built by an amoeba" sounds better than "built by an AAA studio that cares about nothing but microtransactions"

They truly did pick the worst description for it possible. I’ve had a lot of fun with it, though. Pretty solid game for being in beta, and the devs seem decently in-tune with the community.
