The real review

People are split on Sand: Raiders of Sophie, with most reactions being a mix of interest and frustration. The core gameplay loop of scavenging and building your walking Trampler base is solid and the multiplayer is fantastic when it works, but the experience gets dragged down hard by widespread performance issues and technical jank, especially on PC. The developer, Hologryph, is getting a ton of negative attention, suggesting players feel the game was poorly handled or supported. It’s a cool concept with a great foundation, but it’s tough to recommend at full price until the technical problems are fixed.
