The Real Review

Romestead's a fun, janky survival builder where most people are having a good time fighting and farming with friends. The core loop is solid, with the building and multiplayer praised as highlights, but the technical side is a mess. Performance issues and a punishing difficulty curve come up constantly, especially on PC, and the developer Beartwigs is getting a lot of heat for it. It's a good game buried under problems, making it a cautious buy for now.
