I tried the demo back before multiplayer was added and found it pretty frustrating. The pick axes were so short that they made for terrible melee weapons. It was impossible to hit the spiders before they hit me because they were lower than my irl floor or had a longer attack range than I did. Plus they would always sneak up on me making no noise to show aggro. I know you can make weapons that are (probably) better but I never got that far. My first climb that I managed to extract from I didn't bring back enough or the right resources to craft anything at all. The extraction hook ended up further away than I had explored which just made me feel like I was absolutely shit at the game.
Has it improved much since then? I've seen a bunch of people shill it but I don't want to sink into the grind just to find out it's not for me.
