What game, and do you recommend it?
Its a fantastic game and I'm constantly amazed how much it keeps expanding.
It has jank and the survival/crafting part means you'll need to return to previous specific places where specific materials respawn, but it also makes you learn the labyrinthine black-mesa-style map a lot and rewards you for finding shortcuts and building other bases or little things that make traversal faster.
Abiotic Factor and yes 10000% like im surprised it's not going viral the way Valheim did. It has a much more satisfying gameplay experience imo. Like it's seriously like if they made half life 1 co op and added survival mechanics. But the survival shit isn't SUPER punishing, like you can starve to death but it really just ends up being you have to do some maintenance chores every real life hour or so.
My gf found it on steam earlier this summer and bought it for both of us even though she doesn't really like survival games and she's been almost more eager to play it than i've been. It's 1-6 player co op! We've probably got 50-60 hours played and my estimation based on spoilers is at least another 15-20 to go, but i piddle around in our base a lot (or make secondary bases that only i end up using lol)
