I'm sad it's almost over but I'm glad that I played. Curious to see what they will do with the full release and how the game will expand. Though I will say, playing it as much as I did (60.5 hours) almost makes me feel like I got everything I need out of it. Hopefully the game will release enough new features to make me want to continue out of beta.
I almost managed to complete the entire Collection but I don't have it in me to keep searching for the Clothing fragments in the underground lol. Probably my least favourite mechanic of the game but I do enjoy it as a gameplay option / part of the story. Now that I've grabbed all the furniture options and started my forever garden, I'm content to end.
That said, there are 2 datapads I'm missing and kind of want to find them. I managed to find the others on my own so I want to say that I got them all! But we'll see.
In the full release it'd be nice to get a mini map, more island areas, clues or riddles to find items when hovering over the greyed out option in the collection, and better island customization. I would love the option to lay down dirt or stone paths as well as add rocks, trees, bushes, and other landscaping - without taking up the item limit.
I don't know what their plans are for the future as I'm not in the discord or keeping up with news, but some fun ideas for future islands could be: Arctic Area, Nature Reserve (I'd love to have a camera to take photos of wild animals for the collection and to catch bugs), a Desert Town, and more. The more they add as the game evolves, the more I'll be interested.
