I tried it last night not having heard of it before, it was very easy to start playing and looks great fun ๐Ÿ‘ Not sure what I was supposed to aim for so just ran up a nearby mountain and explored ๐Ÿ˜€ I'll definitely explore a bit more, but does anyone have a suggestion of what sort of things to try first?

Honestly I just like to walk from one side of the map to a other since the visuals are so good.

I have been playing for two days myself. I started killing firebugs, then some deer.
