I think the game is really fun, there is a resource grind but i don't think it's crazy difficult.
I take things pretty slow personally and finish prospects closer to their end time. It has it's quirks and buggy moments, but the devs are really engaged and constantly updating the game which is awesome because i love the concept and look forward to checking out what comes next!

My biggest criticism is the wildlife AI, it can be a bit odd. and it would be nice if they toned down the XP loss after death, but otherwise i'd say it's worth a go, fun survival game with lots of personality so far.
