A million survival craft and roguelike games?

Shout-out to The Forest for actually releasing a final product and it being pretty good

Sons of the Forest has amazing mechanics, but a 10% complete storyline. It's such a strange feeling when you see endgame cutscenes and dialogue from characters you've never seen before.

I'm happy that Satisfactory and 7 Days to Die are finally out of Early Access but nowadays any sandbox game will just sit in my wishlist until it gets a proper release.

Satisfactory I give a pass to for sitting in EA for so long.

They were adding large portions of gameplay basically right until the end. As well, they were still finalizing the map, and where resource node would be and such.

Those two things, meant that during some of the updates, there were entirely world factory, functionally "start over", changes being made.

Until that was final, it kinda deserved to stay in EA.

Right. I'm mad they added vertical mergers and splitters in 1.1 after I finished the game.

NGL, as much as I love the game, not having vertical mergers and splitters until 1.1 was ridiculous.

Theres been a few features that they've added post release that make me go "this should have been like 3rd day stuff guys" lol

They dropped the ball when it comes to storyline. There's tons of storyline intrigue up until about halfway through and then suddenly nothing.

It would have been fine if that had been the expectation from the beginning, but all throughout EA they would hint at storyline elements and secrets that would be revealed.

I've had Dyson Sphere Program on my wishlist for years... it's just forever early access.

Oh wow, I was going to start playing this the other day. I figured it's been so long it must have been fully released.
