It’s one of those where I look at it and I can absolutely see how many people absolutely love it. I think the main thing I get out of it is just the atmosphere and exploration. There is something special about how the game is presented with its music and color and day-night cycle and all, which when combined with big worlds with lots of interesting stuff in the distance makes it feel pretty compelling. I don’t like survival-style stuff, so I just turn that off, but what you cannot turn off is that the game world is ultimately in service of building stuff. I just simply don’t get anything out of that and am not even really able to come up with ideas for what to do in such a free-form sandbox. I think I would have to just look up something outside the game to try and recreate, like a LEGO set instead of a box of miscellanous LEGOs, or try to get all the achievements or something in order to actually stick with the game, but I think I’m good.
