As an Early Access title, the game isn't bad. It's definitely a wait and see though as there's not enough content to justify the 9.99 price tag. I got about an hours worth of fun out of it and likely wouldn't fire it up again without a major update to content. There's just far too little to do or build at the moment.
I would love to see some more dynamic elements such as storms or shark attacks. A variety in the gameplay anywhere would be nice. A threat to the player other than thirst and hunger would make the game more interesting for me.
There are some questionable decisions like having a player wait 2 minutes between deaths when there's only one player on the server or you don't have a bed yet. This decision boggles my mind and is strongly anti-fun IMO.
Overall though, it's a decent prototype for what could be a good survival craft game. There's nothing really bad or negative, outside of the death timer, there just isn't enough total game.
Unfortunately I can't really recommend picking up the game in its current 0.4.8 state. There just isn't enough to justify the cost unless you really like fishing up scrap.
