I like survival base-building games, and boy have they been a fad, but I feel like ARK was the only one that really got it right (in my experience so far). However, I never liked the long game in ARK.

Outpost Zero is definitely not the game it could be, but it's a good start with the potential to become something better. If it doesn't live up, I'll happily come back and tweak my review down, but as long as it doesn't become another game that falls into Early Access hell, I'm going to give it support and cheer for it to reach its potential.

If you like games like The Forest or ARK, and you don't mind taking a chance on something that still needs work, but the devs do seem involved with, I recommend supporting the game and giving it a try.
