Looking for a review that's something more than "It's good", then read this:

Vintage Story (VS) is a combination of modded MC and Wurm online. Things like a mini-map and world-edit are built into the Vanilla game and yet VS is built from the ground up with an excellent modding system.

The game has just the right amount of challenge and grind to feel rewarding and if you disagree then no problem, simply edit the world settings to your preferences. You don't like how often you need to eat? No problem, adjust that in the vanilla settings. Don't like the challenge of "True Winter"? Again no problem, just adjust a vanilla setting. Don't like rifts, temporal storms, or unstable areas? Again, no problem, just edit world settings (there's a lot). And if you prefer multi-player then you will probably find a server with the settings (or mods) that you like. 

The game has been in development for 7 years and even as an early access game, it feels very polished. With all of the content, it's hard to believe that it is only 40% complete. I was surprised to learn this because it feels nearly completed already and I'm excited to see how the game is going to improve further.

The attention to detail is phenomenal and you can tell that the indy developers really care about their game and how it is experienced by you. The chiseling system is second to none and lets you chisel pixels from most blocks to create any shape you want which in turn lets you create things you could never achieve in MC or Wurm. You can even replace bits from a block with bits from another different colored block. You've seen pixel art on MC... well you can do that in detail with single blocks in VS. You ever see a building IRL and then attempt to recreate it in MC or Wurm and it just didn't work? ... it works in Vintage Story.

You can purchase direct from the developer but I purchased through Itch because Itch allows me the use of a US domestic-only prepaid visa gift card that doesn't work with most international payment processors. So if you don't have a credit card, you can buy a prepaid visa gift card with cash and then purchase the game here on itch (worked for me in the U.S.). After purchase just read your email and follow the instructions to create a VS account, download, and install. I don't know why some people had a hard time with this, all I did was read and follow the instructions. Easy Peasy.

Wrong. Features previously available have already been blocked behind Patreon. 

If you want to sell this, then why not simply sell it rather than go through Patreon?

Trust is earned and you've provided no reason why you should be trusted. Everyone has MC already and it's in the gutter now since Microsoft bought it. You can't even play without migrating your data so that MS can add you to their database which is the only reason they bought it. You can't even play without logging in to THREE authentication servers, one for MS, one for Xbox, and one for Mojang.

MC was great, before MS scooped it up and turned it into a data mining farm.

And your logic is ill placed, there's plenty of room for games of the same genre, or do you really think that there should only be one shooter, one strat, one rpg, one survival game, one voxel game, etc?

I like it. I could see it being the mining aspect of a larger game.
