Review update 1: Changed from Yes to No
So its been 3 months since steam launch and they haven't released a single update adding anything to the game!
Even if devs were on holidays for 1 month and its ok for an excuse once but 3 months in a row?
Game is dead
Servers aren't fixed
Promised updates are postponed, even visual update for already existing items are on hold while there were presented 2 months ago...
Literally another SCAM company.
---Definition of a scam: a dishonest scheme; a fraud.---
Also they didn't do anything against P2W.
DO NOT SUPPORT THEM until they finally do something what they promised us!

Welcome to Early Access folks!

Crucial bugs/things which are still here after a month:
Level cap is 41 which at most could be leveled up in a few hours.
Some skills will take you weeks to max level, while others are done in few hours at ease.

Un-minable ore: after one hit with a pickaxe you cant mine it anymore.
Unregistered fireballs to NPCs until you find a sweet spot where you have to run around for a few minutes to find it.
Teleporting named NPCs as if they are having 3000 ping issues while all other mobs around are fine.
NPCs spawning on you due to server issues.
Resources like ore/plants/NPCs not spawning for >2 min every single time you run to a different spot just beside the one you jsut were inside the same location due to server issues.
Trees regrowing through foundations and blocking movement and light inside buildings while other important resources like clay/ore/food/animals never spawn again even beside the buidling/plot.
MMO with no global chat or chat history where you could be chatting to someone but after a crash which are very often you have no way to chat back.
Loading screens are now longer and kick you out of server more often.
Plot boundaries change if someone connects or disconnects their plot to/from yours making it a griefing target.
Recent patch made it impossible to jump over fallen trees.

Balance issues are all over the place.
Even after their recent storage balance update, huge expensive chest has the same storage as a little cheap one???
Stack sizes have little logic behind them.
Same level and family type items have exactly the same stats with one exception, their names...

~99% of jewelry crafts are useless.
~80% of meat is useless.

PVP is dead, you can only find fully naked clans with pickaxes or people who run away as soon as they see you.
PVP combat is so bad.
PVE combat is even worse.

There is no getting rid of 5000 spears you just crafted or chainmails when you level up your skills so what you do is manually drop it out of your inventory (40 slots max) and wait for them to despawn.
There is no way to salvage even a fraction of the resources you spent on those crafts as there is no recycling.
Every level of the skill is the same crafting procedure.

There was an update with storage increase/decrease so for that update to take place you would had to manually deconstruct your whole structure around chests to have them removed into your inventory and placed back for the different inventory slots number.

When a "hotfix" is being implemented they shut down the servers...

They really have to step up their game as the online is dropping, updates are taking ages to drop and bugs are not addressed in the manner they should be.

I wrote this from my passion to the game and if they address those issues I believe they will bring guaranteed success to the future of Pax Dei.
So please hire more people and make it a Top 10 game of 2025.

Also the upgrade packs are so pay to win.


Other than that the game is cool.

Buggy, unfinished, not optimized by itself as well as with windows OS.
Had to restart pc several times for it to work out update.

5800x3d / 2080ti / 64gb ram / 2k resolution (as 4k was 30fps)
50fps epic
60fps medium
When streamers had 180 fps on medium settings

Unfinished control settings.
Movement is bad.
Bots are dumb.
The server lagged and stuttered for first 10min so bad I wanted to quit immediately.
The list goes on...

I believe they released the game on steam for sale because of tarkov scandal and the game is not ready for wide audience, especially for such price.
As of right now it is a rip off and I wouldn't suggest to buy it. Maybe in a year or so under heavy dev work it will come out as something playable.

I am fed up of early access garbage games for insane amount of money.
€35 For unfinished nor polished game (Should be €15 at most in its current state with price increase in 1-2 years when its fully complete).
€23-65 for bigger stash size and p2w secure container.

No statistics or detailed analysis - "A nice to have feature".
1 Map - Decent and has some variety to it.
Doesn't explain where to acquire "higher level" components - future wiki will solve this issue.

Returning to lobby sometimes takes over 3min instead of usual few seconds.
No bugs or major flaws have been encountered in 6 hours!

For Alpha, this game is beyond my expectations comparing to other companies which can't get their game together in beta stages.

If FTL and EFT had a baby, it would be this game.
I had been dying for over an hour now and I loved it!

Valheim and Don't Starve mixed together.
Very cool concept, looking forward towards the full game release!

Please make the rolling/evading with combat more fluid. Feels very clunky with those pauses while you are locked in place after each hit you make and can't move. "V Rising" combat doesn't have this problem.

Any patch of mud you get stuck in, is an additional game you gotta overcome while playing this game.

Unfinished game. (RELEASE DATE: 23 Jan, 2018)
This game supports VR but it doesn't support rotation of in base components like ladders etc. I was expecting this game was polished out bug free since it was over 4 years since release and what I got was a couple unfinished "features" straight out of the box. Problems with dual monitor (no mouse lock on one monitor) and no built in multiplayer unless you go for 3rd party software which has its downsides like often lag and freezes. There are more bugs and undeveloped things but those are the most frustrating.
Overall this game has a lot to offer and you should definitely try it out but not for their original price tag.

Okay graphics
Well done sound

Will update after exploring more of this underworld.
I would love to give it a Yes for recommendation but seriously you can't rotate things you should...

Unfinished game.
Upon logging into season 2, a couple hundreds of Aurum disappeared when it was stated that Aurum will be untouched.

Cool game to play with friends.
Has many interesting mechanics and base building.
The main criteria tho is that the devs are active and game had measurable progress made over the years since its first release.
