PAMELA

I'd recommend this, with some caveats.
1. Don't expect great performance. It used to be abysmal (I was getting 30fps or less on my GTX 970), but after some major improvements recently, that's gotten markedly better (up to 60-70fps; it wasn't all the devs' fault either, as they needed asset streaming and a bunch of other things that just weren't in the Unity engine at the time, and had to wait on the Unity team to actually build new tools for them specifically).
2. Development is slow. Very slow. They *are* making progress, but you can check the news/activity feed of the game to see how there can be long lulls in development without much news at all.
3. There are bugs, and there are AI quirks that can make some of the scariest AIs trivial to deal with once you know them. That's par for the course in early access though. All the other normal things with early access apply (risk of no proper release in the future, story incomplete, some areas of the map really drab, save compatibility being lost after updates, etc.).
4. There are crashes. They are generally unpredictable, but you will crash. The only predictable one for me is that the game actually hangs when I quit. So...keep task manager handy.
With that out of the way: Yeah, it's a pretty cool place to explore and have some fun in if you feel like playing a survival-horror game with some base building (unfortunately, when it comes to that, there is one place on the map that is far better than all the others; see the For Dummies guide on Steam if you want to know where it is).
I suggest playing on permadeath mode once you understand some of the basics, because that'll make the prospect of dying a hell of a lot more scary as you progress. Expect to die.

OK to start, this is an awesome sci-fi horror of a futuristic eden/eutopia gone wrong reminiscent of a 70s sci-fi where the corporation or a government controls and says what is good for you and how to act. Understand that currently it is still VERY early development and the devs are still working on updates, and when they do release they are typically very large ones at that that fix alot of bugs or add more content. There is a learning curve to it and plan on dying a few times and realizing, "ok wont make that mistake again." Playstyles allow you to utilize stealth, hacking, balls to the wall combat, or just exploration and learning the secrets of Eden. Really looking forward to the final product

this game is a lot of fun, still needs work but I am so happy to see how far this game has come from when I first got it.

From what I've played so far, this game is really something special. With the way you interact with the menu, to the abandoned utopia survival. This game combines beautiful mechanics, gameplay, and a great environment together. All it's missing is VR support. Seriously, that's all I want.

Do i recommend this game? YES. I couldn't recommend it enough.
This game is honestly a hidden gem in the survival horror market.
The gameplay is, admittedly, a bit stale for those looking for an action game, but other than that the open world exploration is stellar, the combat has only very minor bugs(no gamebreaking issues, just silly stuff), and the game itself looks fantastic (when the HEAVY load is able to be handled)
That being said, my only major complaint is the optimization.
I'm running a Gigabyte GTX Ge-Force 1070 and an Intel i7 8700 with 32GB of RAM, and holy hell this game still has a heavy load on medium graphics.
The developers have also given constant feedback updates and listen to the community (to an extent) and always put out a blog post before any update, no matter how small the changes are.
Two major changes they are working into the game as of now is the moving of the game over to a newer version of unity to drastically reduce optimization issues, and the long-awaited Story Mode to be added in alongside the engine port.
All in all, this is a great game for singleplayer survival enthusiasts like myself.
The price tag was well worth the content supplied in my absolute honest opinion, i play it often.
Lastly, just make sure you have a moderately beefy rig to run this game. It improves the experience so much more than you'd think.

It's really good. It gets a bit boring after exploring all the areas, but there are more updates to come. This game has a lot of potential and so far the devs are doing a good job. Has it's bugs, but it's early access, so nothing that wasn't expected.

Still needs some polishing but I think what I like so much about this game is its potential. My complaints are that it is not very intuitive, I had to look up you tube videos on a lot of how things work and while there is a tutorial the atmosphere of the game doesn't exactly make you feel to safe to sit there and listen to it. (Which goes to show how well the environment is)
I crash a lot because of a known issue with anti-virus programs seeing it as a false positive and while frustrating you don't lose all progress with your character just inventory and base work. I want to see when it is not in pre-release and have enjoyed exploring new areas and gaining a fine tuned understanding of base building and combat in this game.
Definitely an enjoyable game though and when the story line patch releases I am sure a lot of my initial aimless feeling will go away.
