Sometimes it's good to have less features that are really fleshed out and done well, than a ton of features that aren't. If this is really the only and first game the devs have made, I feel like they're biting off more than can chew. Only dialogue can freeze time if toggled in the settings- which is pointless if you're character is far from any NPC.Īre these minor problems? Sure, but when you end up experiencing it over and over, it becomes rather frustrating. Parents with kids or pet owners, grabbing snacks or meals, even bathroom breaks, etc- if you need to stop time you have to quit the game.
If I have to leave the game for a moment, I have to quit and again, I wind up back at home whether I wanted to or not. Though, my biggest gripe of the game is that there is no way to pause. It's late and you're deep in a forest? Just quit and re-enter, and bam you're home and able to sleep before midnight. This can easily be a simple and quick way to just. There's also exploits to the game that are somewhat game breaking, every time you quit and re-enter the game you are spawned back at your house with progressed save. Otherwise, it makes it a rather unstable playing experience. Multiplayer should be focused on after the singleplayer is ultimately completed.
There's items that has literally no use, it's just. There's no point to its presence other than "coming soon". There are maps you can access that has nothing there. It's as if the only NPCs that matter are those that you can romance. Any NPC that's not a romance option has no sprite, and very little interaction aside from repeatable requests. How can there be "end to the main plot" before the plot itself is even created? Romance is lacking, there's nothing to really pad it out with more dialogue, especially after marriage.
#Sun haven character creation update#
Each update is touted as "the biggest yet" so is it really? There's nothing to strive for, to drive you to continue to play if there's no plot or objectives to continue driving you forward. Even character interaction - which is honestly the only driving point at this time - still feels incomplete. The "completed" plot currently is lackluster and anti-climatic. Good games are built from the ground up- plot, main mechanics- like combat, mining, fishing, skills. The priority of the update contents don't make any sense. More races didn't need to be added before the skill tree wasn't completed. It feels sloppy, even if it's fixed in the future, it shouldn't have been pushed when it was so incomplete. There were races that were added, but with barely any customization. Like, they pushed out a skill table when it wasn't even balanced and a whole tier was missing. It feels as though superficial parts are pushed more than the foundation of the game. While this particular part could be labeled under bias, there's still quite a bit more that I'm just not a fan of. The unprofessional manner which this was handled certainly did not give a reassuring outlook on how the devs interact with their players and backers. When they contacted the devs, they were told "Sorry, we're not giving out keys." Like, I don't know how it exactly works, but I'm under the impression that as developers giving out keys is something they can provide it as it is their game- especially as a crowd funding reward. I also have an issue with the devs, and the way they handled kickstarter rewards- my wife was not given their extra key to the game as it was apart of the tier reward. This isn't the only instance of needed flavor text either. While this is a more minor gripe, there's a reason a lot of games use simple messages like "I don't have a reason to go here." or SOME flavor text. The game feels incredibly unfinished, and in uncompleted areas the immersion it broken with fourth wall dialogue.
But, I do recommend either getting it on sale or later when its fully released. I will preface that this game is fun, and has a lot of potential. but I cannot stress how much I have a love/hate relationship with this game. I have played for about 75 hours, and I will continue to play.
I had initiall borrowed this game from my wife, who was a kickstarter patron of the game.
