Why do I support the devs? Cause I really love the game. Why? read my review here:

What I love about Vintage Story.

First it´s indie. And before you say, yeah but looks like another boring Minecraft clone. It´s not!
Sure you can place blocks like in Minecraft and you have a crafting system, but this game goes a little further. The crafting system feels more “realistic” and resources feel more valuable. Of course it has still some issues in this phase of development, like spawning under water. But I´m sure they are going to fix things like that. The world feels very natural and alive with all those animals and swinging leaves. When you want a knife you even have to chisel your blade, which is pretty neat. And you cannot carry really much before having a basket or later a backpack. All together it feels very alive and natural. I like that. (Especially the textures)

What are cool features I noticed so far?

Weather effects like fog, wind and of course rain.
It´s more challenging than Minecraft.
Light is far more important, because the night gets really dark.
You need to preserve food.
You can find ruins and NPC´s with little houses. (you cannot grief them, which I find cool)
Many world options, like temperature resistance or even building height. (building height has an effect on chunk loading)

What I don´t like at the moment:

the clouds look still a bit odd.
it´s sometimes hard to understand how things work. (but that could be me)

Conclusion: If you liked Minecraft but felt like it could be more realistic or just better, with more features, without installing endless mods. You need try Vintage Story!
