I tried it on Steam. It's very unoptimized. My poor 1080 couldn't handle anything but low graphics settings. It looks very bad at those settings obviously. When I watched Lirik play it on his stream it looks pretty cool, but he has a GTX3090. lol
I would say go try Stranded Deep instead. Another early access survival game, but a ton better optimized.

Not quite. It's saved game status. So you go onto a world, do whatever, log out. Everything is saved to the host. Log back in the next day and everything is saved where it was, where you were, etc. The wiping occurs between missions. You come in with nothing (until later) and take nothing out (mostly). It's like survival quests basically that you get an allotted time of between 3 days and 30 days to complete with you or your and friends. Then you get rewards for completing them and unlock more missions. You get currency which allows you to upgrade your default characters starter gear for each mission.

Yeah unfortunately my squad started a vanilla Minecraft server the same fucking day this launched and I don't want to play this solo, but I'm going to play a bit more tonight. I think you have to have people who realize that you can't just rush objectives, you've got to level and build bases and outposts in each prospect to actually complete them reasonably. I'm sure some people just death-rush stuff, but that seems much less fun. People need to treat this like old Command and Conquer or Starcraft campaigns where you go in with nothing, build up, then expand and complete your task. Then you go back up and start a new mission and do it all again. At least this one gives you a passive skill tree for your character and "epic" items you can invest in to make your start up time much less each time.

Yeah, our total for the LAN (concluding now) was about 20 hours. This game took over more or less the last couple days. We did 2 prospects and below is the start of our next w/ 4 people. Game is a good time and looking forward to continuing to unlock more and the dividends it pays towards future prospects. The C&C/Starcraft campaign analogy is perfect, and IMO makes it a ton more approachable for many. When we blew 150 hours in Valheim it wasn't really reasonable to add people later in the game without them 'skipping' everything. With Icarus every new prospect is a chance to introduce the game to new players, etc.
