The player receives little help and has to teach himself things and gain experience, which is a crucial part of the game concept and contributes significantly to the authentic atmosphere of being lost in the jungle. The combat system, on the other hand, is criticized for being cumbersome and imprecise, as attacks sometimes go nowhere. Furthermore, the size of the game world, the animations of the animals and opponents and the predictable story sections are criticized. The textures, light effects, animal models, the crafting and progress system, the sound design, the design of the flora and fauna and the dynamic game world are also praised.
