Isn't it a survival game where you're basically out in the woods looking for food and fending off bears? Haven't played it but it looked interesting. I doubt anyone else here has played it either though because it's not weeb bait

It's pretty _fun.
Although, there's little beyond survival in the game. Once you set yourself up it's a game about hoarding, boredom, and not much else. If food was more scarce but you could stay outside longer, it'd be better, I think. There's a real lack of incentive for fucking off once you set yourself up, and there was actually a point where I had cleared pretty much all the maps for resources and was just generally fucked. Kind of annoying, since saplings for bowyery and shit don't respawn. Everything else is farmable, for the meat and arrows and wood, since wood breaks off after a storm and as long as you've got your hands you can break shit up.

The problems you describe remind me a lot of dont starve. Once you get a setup you basically won and theres little point afterwards. I guess in don't starve they tried to mix it up by adding a ton of boss fights, but it doesn't seem nearly as fun as just trying to survive.

I've played this game for a long as while, on its early days survival was way brutal and harder,
due to demand and to realism, they made it more reasonable to survive if you know what you're doing
in old days people would literally scavenge everything and then die by the lack of loot, now you Bear Grills that shit up
but inevitably it will get boring, since you have no objective besides surviving, the only other point is to explore find other things
this is why story mode gave the game a new breath of life on release (it was planned),
so now you follow a progression from getting crashed and fucked up, to getting your shit together and being a survivalist
you follow a goal to finding your lost partner and finding out is happening with the world, meeting a few npc's along the way
you expend a lot of time in the regions and can fool around exploring and doing side quest
one of the major positive points is that your gear will get progressively better, but you can't carry all the shit that you want
so its a question of making the best of it, and some of the consumables are easy to find,
for example you don't need the carry tons of firewood since you can reasonably find enough firewood to last the whole in some areas
still you have to fend off the environment, one of the highlights in my playthrough was traversing through the bog
the area is wide open with a train track traversing in the middle and several frozen lakes with thin ice around it,
you can go the middle but there was lots of wolfs in the way, and I decide to explore the POI nearby,
but a fog came down, making it extremely hard to orient myself, considering I had to circumvent weak ice all the time
still I ended up falling in the water and getting attacked by a wolf, in bad shape having to stop by a broken shack for the time

in the same point as the above, in don't starve you actually have a goal to accomplish,
to explore, find the artifacts and eventually leave the place

They should've made the sandbox the full game. They could have told the story through npc's and finding clues and various stories and such around the the locations, giving even more incentive to explore. But alas they went with the horribly clunky episodic format they went with.

And the devs dragged their feet and did fuck all with their initial successes. I see nothing but very minor cosmetic changes after all this time. Looks like story mode is finally a thing two years after the teaser trailer came out so I'll give them a point for at least trying.

There's a hard mode where you get almost 0 loot from scavenging, instead you'll have to use natural resources and such to survive. My biggest problem with this mode is that there's no real way to go forever, since you'll probably eventually run out of finite resources (like fire starters)

I tried it on PS4 and while its okay it would bug out in cutscenes including the opening the first time. I hit start and after two minutes of black screen was standing in the middle of a plain wreck in alaska or something.
Tried so far in and got to a point where it autosaved in a blizzard and after 5 attempts i was fucked no matter what. Wolves on every side. About to catch hypothermia. My options were freeze in my sleep in a car by the road or get eaten by wolves.
When i realised i had to do the long, slow, mandatory tutorial again i just had no drive to do so.
Tried survival mode and it was neat. Followed some tracks to a train crash and stole a dead guys pants and tools. Went up to a collapsed lookout for supplies and ran from wolves into a huge powerstation down to a frozen river and some caves. Came out at another logging camp and just quit out of boredom.
Its a nice looking game and the ideas good. Its like if firewatch was an actual videogame. But the execution is pretty dull and thats my honest opinion not the current goon hive mind thought exercise going around.

just a review summary for whom might interest:
game is pretty good is invokes one of the best comfy feelings in the survival genre, that being said, it has been of development for forever, even though its stated "released" it still has some ways to go
its pretty clear the dev team is small and took a way bigger bite that it could chew at the time, and it feels now that they are burned out barely able to finish the thing up, but at least they are still on it and introducing changes players do want
even though with the slow dev team, there is no doubt the game has come a huge long way, from someone who played in its early days, having bad black dogwolf, surviving being literally just click and wait, it is now much more detailed and satisfying
story mode is good, could have been better, the story is alright, npcs are a good addition but could have been more dynamic, like having them grant you part of their house, or going to sleep, stuff like that
on its default difficulty, wildlife is still very aggressive and way too plentiful for the desolate winter feeling the game deserves, with story the game gives objectives to look for, which is good, but again could be done better,
on the other hand sandbox survival is still pretty good, and with the last update you can now customize several parameters, tailoring the game to your perfect survival scenario (like for me, having still aggressive but scarce wildlife)
overall its a bretty gud/10, and don't go comparing it with the other common games of the survival trope, instead give it a shot and build your own opinion
but don't go in expecting it to be winter rust, minecraft or seven days to die, because this one game is more focused on the feeling of desolation and struggle against the environment

I won't disagree that it is kind bullshit how they did it early in the game
however now after heavy popular demand they balanced it way better,
but if you think 45 minutes is too much for chopping wood, you obviously never done it in real life
anyway, at least now they added very customizable options to sandbox,

alright, just reached about the part where you face "the old bear" in story mode, about the same as video related
and I have to say its kinda bullshit scripted boss battle that you have to go through phases,
it begs to question that the developer is both a bad programmer and bad gamer
starting with, the bear right there outside the cabin as soon as you take the quest out, like wtf?
did he get the memo that part had just begun?
second, the encounters are super bullshit, you can hit him multiple times and still he got to me,
and by which, having the plan of making yourself as bait where as the bear ends up mauling you each time,
who the fuck though that was a good idea?
I can even understand getting by after a tumble with a wolfs, you get a few scratches but you survive, but a literal bear gnawing on your stomach?

Yep, that's an incredibly bullshit part of the story and completely breaks immersion as a bear somehow tanks more than a dozen .308's on top already being injured. To make matters worse I left my rifle in the cabin by the lake, so I ended up having to scum like crazy and run away the first time, which I manaaged by cheesing the fuck out of the bear by jumping down the cliff and fucking with its pathing.
