I don't do a lot of survival games, but dwarves reclaiming a lost hold is the sort of premise I can get behind. I'm looking forward to it.

Word is that it is a pretty mediocre open world survival game with a LOTR skin. Valheim is a much better experience at half the price.
Have not played it yet but my understanding is: Combat is tedious. You can only dig in certain areas. You can only build inside your base area (I think this is linked to your hearth). No dedicated server support (LOL).
I wanted this to be good but it sounds like it needs some more time in the oven. For $40 it's a hard pass from me.

I took one for the team so you don't have to and tried this out since some of my bros are into it. You're constantly being attacked and combat is really tedious. I refunded it after just under a couple of hours because I thought it was just annoying.
I could see major fans of LotR universe sticking with it just for how it brings it to life but I was turned off. I'd be willing to take a look at it again in 6-12 months to see how it has developed, hopefully on Steam and on sale.

I watched a few twitch streams of it. It looks extremely grindy and repetitive. And not in a "grinding toward advancement" sort of way. Just repetitive grinding like a mouse clicker.
I was unimpressed.

I wanted to circle back on this one to say I was wrong. Some friends of mine convinced me to give this a second look, which I did, and I have had a blast. I have been delighted several times by what we have encountered along the way through this story and game loop is pretty good. Here are some details:
Good:
- Good graphics
- Stable
- Fairly deep crafting system
- Lots of quality of life. E.g. if anything is on a pallet or in a box in your base and you are also in your base and attempt to craft something, it will pull from your inventory. Any time you tear something down, you get all mats back. You can create map stones for fast travel to wherever you want.
- Fun progression through the story.
- Lots of cool touches.
Needs improvement:
- Day/night cycles too fast
- Buffs too short
- Combat a little janky sometimes
I think if you are a LotR fan, this is a no-brainer purchase. If you're meh on LotR but like the genre, I wouldn't say that pushes the genre but it's good enough to purchase on sale.
