It is incredible how badly optimised this game is. Even on the lowest settings, it's unplayable. I can run other games with way better graphics easily. Hopefully the dev works on this, as I was really looking forward to enjoying this game.

Used to play the Alpha 6 years ago - I loved it.
And before I get hate for disliking the new version: please hear me out.
I honestly tried to love this game.
Only played the new release myself for about half an hour atm, however I have seen countless of gameplay from the Beta.
I conclude that in its current state, Cube World is sadly not worth playing.

The difficulty spike in the beginning, which basically forces you to avoid any combat, is not rewarding at all. Additionally, fighting isn't even encouraged as you don't earn XP from it (???).
My main concern however is, that in an RPG which heavily focuses on EXPLORATION, you basically lose all your gear upon entering a new zone.

I can partially see what Wollay was trying to achieve with the gameplay style, but it just isn't fun. For me personally at least, and from what I've read many other "legacy players" think the same.
Really hope that some of the current issues are resolved/changed in the future as I'd really want to recommend and enjoy this game.

I will continue to play this game to see how it evolves when playing it for a longer amount of time. If I change my mind about it, I will update this review accordingly.

i really loved this game when it released.
the idea of a survival game with dinosaurs was awesome.
however, ARK took many wrong turns, it's full price and the DLC in alpha-stage ruined a lot.
my main concern however is the the current style of it.
all the new technical elements just took away that prehistoric survival-feeling for me.
sad to say that i can't recommend this game.

edit:
1. i played this game for a short time on this account, used to play it a lot on a friend's account back then.
2. i know this game wasn't meant to be prihostoric, but i had that feeling in the beginning, which it now lost. that's my personal opinion.
