It gives you an open space, lots of wood, stone, plants and dinos obviously and that's it. I am in fact a huge fan of 7 Days to Die which does it in a similar way, but at least in 7 Days to Die you get an incentive: After 7 days you are overrun by Zombies.
I am not criticizing the fact that this game has either no story or wants you to find it.
You are left with exploring things on your own. You get thrown into a world you have this thing on your arm that seems to indicate some kind of plot but the game never tells you that there is any. There is a guide in the menu that tries to explain the basics but that's it. A good game is self-explanatory or at least gives you a few guidelines, tutorials, a starting quest or whatever. I only played this for 2 hours and while playing the only thing I learned from this is that the games doesn't want me to play it. As I said, this game is fundamentally flawed and you start to realize that pretty early on.

And after reading some reviews here where most of the high-rating critics wrote something like "You just have to learn how to play and git gud" I thought I'd give you my opposing impression, because those guys are blinded fanboys, nothing more. But as you can see with my rating: it's a horrible experience since it's fundamentally flawed.

But getting this game for free I wanted to give it a shot since it CAN be played in single player as well. But the fact that this is an MMO has always be off-putting for me because I simply don't like that genre all that much, I am more of a lone wolf when it comes to those kind of games, a coop-guy with friends at best. So I just received this game for free on Epic Games Store like many other people and as a fan of the survival game-genre (with base building, crafting and so on) I have looked at this game many times and found it interesting. If you want to play this: don’t play it alone, you’ll be in for a bad time. It doesn’t allow you to explore, while making exploration mandatory. It does everything to prevent you from enjoying it. It doesn’t allow you to explore, while making TLDR: This game is fundamentally flawed. Couldn't get any help with the first one because I couldn't remember the dino's name and it had been a few days (it was dead, jim), but the second one got resolved speedily. Yeah the game's support is genuinely terrible, but I only had to use it twice, once when I got a dinosaur stuck underneath the terrain (back in early access - and this only happened once) and second when I messed up with tranferring tribe ownership. A lot of the bugs people have mentioned have been fixed since well before EA, I'm not sure what they're going on about. Even if you have a good card, be prepared to turn those settings down to medium or low to get playable fps. That's ~41 days of nothing but playing this game. While it has its problems, I can't justify giving this game anything less than a 10.
