If you enjoy Terraria, you’ll like this game. Keeps you entertained.
I picked up Necesse expecting a simple top down survival game, but after spending quite a few hours with it, I realized there is a lot more going on under the surface. It starts off pretty basic. You gather resources, craft tools, build a small base, and try to survive. But the more you play, the more systems open up and the game slowly turns into something much deeper.
The core loop is easy to get into. You explore different islands, mine resources, fight enemies, and bring everything back to improve your base. I liked how natural the progression feels. You are not rushed, but at the same time there is always something to work toward. Unlocking better gear, expanding your base, and preparing for bosses kept me engaged for longer sessions than I expected.
One of the best parts of the game for me was the colony system. You are not just surviving alone. You can recruit settlers who move into your base, take on jobs, and help automate tasks. Watching your small camp slowly turn into a working settlement felt really satisfying. Assigning jobs, setting up production, and seeing everything run more smoothly over time adds a strong sense of progression.
Combat is simple but works well for the kind of game this is. There is a mix of melee, ranged, and magic options, and boss fights add some challenge as you progress. Some fights actually require preparation and better gear, which makes them feel rewarding when you finally beat them.
Exploration is another strong point. Each island has its own layout, resources, and dangers. Traveling between them keeps things fresh and gives you a reason to keep pushing forward. I often found myself going out just to see what I could discover next.
That said, the game is not perfect. Visually it is quite simple, and at first it might not stand out compared to bigger titles. Some parts of the gameplay can also feel repetitive, especially when you are grinding resources for larger builds. It can take a bit of time before the deeper systems really start to shine.
Overall, Necesse is one of those games that quietly grows on you. It combines survival, exploration, and colony management in a way that feels smooth and rewarding. It may look simple at first, but once you get into it, there is a lot to enjoy, especially if you like building and managing your own settlement.
If you love Terraria or Minecraft, you’ll really enjoy this game too! The exploration is vast, procedurally generated and unique to your own world! There are a whole bunch of creative weapons, tools, items and crafting stations to use. You can also intricately manage your colony of npcs who have all kinds of professions and shops to use! They don’t just sit in their house and offer you a nearby shop at your base, they help with farming, mining, woodcutting, fishing and can come explore with you into the dungeons to mine and fight mobs/bosses! They also defend your base, craft and sort through your chests/inventory! You have to keep their needs happy and fulfill base requirements just like Terraria! The mobs and bosses in this game are very unique and the fight takes up the whole screen as they fly around, it requires a good amount of skill and the right weapons/preparation of potions to defeat them! Defeating a boss is really satisfying and actually unlocks new areas, weapons, summons and trinkets that make a huge difference in power! The biomes all have a distinct theme to them with different winding caverns/hidden nooks, underground bases to loot, mobs, chests and furniture items to take back home! There are a lot of secrets to discover and all kinds of things to collect wherever you go in the overworld too! You drive a boat across the map to discover new regions and dungeons which makes exploring the land above really exciting! Growing and proudly building out your base with all the things you’ve found, crafted and designed is very addicting. Being able to manage your colony while you’re gone takes the pressure off of feeling like you need to return home to refresh your farm or keep your villagers happy, as they can manage themselves after you get set up! There are lots of storage backpack items you can take exploring with you as well so you can stay longer and not feel too much pressure to manage your items! This is one of those games you won’t want to put down, and I’d imagine it’s really fun in co-op with friends, though singeplayer is amazing too!
