So I'm surprised how comfortable it is being perpetually underground in Core Keeper. Part of it is the charming art and animation, along with the dynamic lighting effects. The game begins in the gloom of the Core chamber, but place a few torches and clear out some dirt walls with a pickaxe, and soon the room is bathed in warm light.

Salvage and Repair Station is used throughout progress to repair durability loss on all gear. Or scrap it for materials.

There needs to be a reward for either killing enemies, or a multiplier of exp based on the damage the player deals, because this is just painful to play with, especially if you ever want to switch your class in the middle of a world, as you no longer enjoy what you were playing before. This system also encourages the player to attack enemies that take 0 dmg, which like, why? That shouldnt reward the player at all, and yet that's how I was farming my Melee exp.

Overcoming the bosses requires a keen sense of strategy, so strengthen your character with purpose or suffer a swift end to your journey.

Absolutely. I've been playing solo for my entire playthrough and generally found the challenge level manageable, and the gameplay enjoyable.

While it doesn’t reinvent the wheels of its genre, Pugstorm’s Core Keeper emerges confidently out of early access and I’m looking forward to revisiting it over and over again in the coming years.

After travelling out to touch and drop the unbreakable barrier wall, players can return to speak to The Core for a second time. This yields a brief description and approximate compass direction for the first outer biome: Azeos' Wilderness.

Your first step will be to create your character. You can adjust your cosmetic look in a variety of ways, but don't stress out about this too much — you can change the look of your character later by crafting a Magic Mirror and a Dresser at the Carpenter's Workbench.

Character creation doesn’t get too complicated, but you might hesitate over choosing your character’s Background and the perks that come along with it.

TL;DR: Core keeper is a game with potential, but with very shallow progression systems that can make it feel repetitive very quickly.

Don’t be in a huge rush to unlock all the crafting resources immediately, though, since you can get a lot done by starting simply.
