I'm currently an hour into the game, it hasn't hit the mark at this point however that is the benefit of Early Access. If the developers are listening to feedback then here are my first recommendations:
- Fix the stamina usage (it's depleted too quickly when sprinting, a slight change required).
- Interactions with stations are delayed (when opening storage or workbenches the UI is slow to present, should be instant)
- Vaulting is too slow (this needs to be increased slightly)
- Volume of villagers roaming when interacting (when interacting with quest givers, villagers talk over the top of them, either reduce their volume or make it so you don't hear during an interaction).
- Speech of NPCs is robotic (feels like all NPCs are lifeless with the current speech).
- Stance switch (recommend a stance switch between resource gathering and fighting, often the character is missing the interaction point and then swings the axe. A stance option would assist with this.)
- Building placements should have an indicator that shows the front (i.e. a red arrow or dot)
- Building relocation (would be a good option to relocate buildings rather than needing to destroy and rebuild).
