Core Keeper After 60 Hours: A Must Play Sandbox Survival Game

[@rocky_kitten]

one of the best core keeper reviews out there

[@RascallyRasmus]

Aww, thanks a lot! Your comment made my day!

[@ChrisG_90]

My biggest problem with this game is unlike Terraria, it's large but mostly empty. The amount of inventory management you need to do is frustrating, no matter where you go you're always messing with dropping stuff for space. It lacks the quality of life items Terraria gives you to break down the monotony of inventory management (Biggy bank, void storage, auto deposit to nearby chests). I also with the crafting benches would pull from the chests without needing to be directly connected - perhaps even if we could chain the crafting benches at least.

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

You are correct about all this, however, mods will fortunately fix most of these issues.

[@RascallyRasmus]

All very solid points! Inventory management could definitely use improvements! Haven’t struggled too much with the crafting myself as I find that with only needing to keep the best workbench, anvil etc. and just scrolling through them to use older ones I can have like 90 % of the crafting machines I use frequently placed around my main storage. It would however still be a very big QOL if you could chain the crafting benches like you suggested. In general I’d just love to see way more experimental and fun things like in Terraria - including all the QOL items!

Subbed, love this game and i look forward to watching your videos after it releases to 1.0!

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks! I really appreciate it :) Very excited to see all that 1.0 has in store for us!

[@ChristineRasmussen-y2y]

Wauw sounds great to me! Thanks for the very inspiring and informativ review🙏

[@Avelyon]

Very well structured review, well done!

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thank you! I’m glad you think so :)

What i find impressive with the game is the size of 1.0 together with the preformance. the game is 600mb, while also packing so much content that it just feels weird. Like that big of a game can fit several systems, calculate so many things, while also having a huge map that you can fully change. Then also the amount of spritework that goes into the game and the dynamic waters and lighting. I would say that this game should be like 3gb large at least with the amount of content packed in, but it is so well optimized that it doesnt need that space. Then the preformance, it runs so smoothly, with the only exceptions of loading in alot of data at once, but thats just a 0.5 sec stutter and mostly comes down to my own hardware, and comparing that to other titles that almost gives up just because you placed one to many enemies in one area. This shows how much they have focused on the preformance and optimization of the game as well as the amount of content. It shows that games doesnt need to be big to be able to look great or have amazing content... And that AAA studios need to step up a notch if this is what they are competing against.

[@RascallyRasmus]

Great write-up! I 100 percent agree! The fact that the game runs smoothly on my laptop without a dedicated graphics card says a lot in itself.

[@TheCorgies]

Love it. some advices, you should split to each part and have timestamps, earn some editing skill, maybe speak with full voice, it sounds like you have a sore throat lol

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thank you so much both for watching and for the feedback. I’m working hard on improving on all fronts. So it’s truly appreciated! My throat was actually sore so should hopefully be better next time haha.

[@skinmelt]

Incredible video!

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it & I really appreciate the support!

[@MemoryPallace]

I wonder if they'll continue to update past1.0 this and necesse and a lot of potential. Sandbox games that have rpg elements are my favorite. Games where you can build a base and make mechanisms are legit!

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks for watching! The Core Keeper devs just announced that they will keep updating the game post launch! And I’m with you on that. Sandbox + RPG is a great combo.

[@mathislalonde353]

I almost have 200h on this game and the 1.0 isnt even out yet !! So I'm so exited for the next update and I'm happy you like this game too

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks for watching! It’s an amazing game! Have you started a 1.0 save yet?

[@mathislalonde353]

@@RascallyRasmusyes ! I havnt went really far yet but it’s a big update and it’s amazing

[@RascallyRasmus]

Haven’t had much time to play it yet either but what I did play was great (as expected).

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

Bought this game cause it's on sale right now and I heard it's about to fully release finally. Only 4 hours in so far but I'm loving it.

[@RascallyRasmus]

Glad you’re having fun! You have a lot to look forward to! :)

[@Elsinnombre-ez5dn]

Is there an ending of sorts ? Like a final boss ? (Sorry if u already mentioned in the video and I didn’t catch it)

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks for watching! There is a final boss now that 1.0 is out :)

[@wej0w]

Started playing it yesterday. I have a hard urge to watch content about it while not playing but I dont want to spoil anything and just figure it out like a noob.

[@RascallyRasmus]

Enjoy! It’s a fantastic game!

[@Zhar-Ptitsu]

This is quality. The Game and the Video

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thank you watching! And for your nice comment! - Really made my day :)

[@Zhar-Ptitsu]

@@RascallyRasmus Not saying this to put you down or anything but I usually don't like small content creators because they don't have the same vibe but I thought after I realised that you had less subs that you have a bright future in KZbin. I am looking forward to see what comes next.

[@RascallyRasmus]

​@@Zhar-PtitsuI know exactly what you mean! KZbin definitely has a steep learning curve, so I really appreciate the support :) I have a very long list of videos I wanna make - so a lot more is in the works. Primarily more reviews.

[@eioclementi1355]

If this game get automated train scheduling....it going to be a completely different ball game for me ..i love to his project so far but it still feel about 59% complete...boy this is one of those game come back in 4 or 5 updates time... it going to be a completely different experience.

[@RascallyRasmus]

That would be awesome with automated train scheduling! Yeah, it is for sure! Core Keeper has so much potential!

[@eioclementi1355]

@@RascallyRasmus farworld pioneens had to close development it was a similar dev team I hope they can continue this adding new game play features games like this need new player opportunities

[@RascallyRasmus]

I hope the Core Keeper team will be good for a while at least given the succes of the launch.

[@PrincessBubblegum]

I saw the launch trailer and it looked interesting

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks for watching!

[@HeyEd456]

Nice content

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear your liked it :)

[@odeskald]

Good video, subscribe. Now i'll wait for new core keeper video's

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thank you so much!

[@buuu1985]

its very nice to play but after around 30-50 hours its everytime same same :( and the nodes can expire. after 1000 hours its sometimes hard to find some new nodes :/

[@RascallyRasmus]

We reached that point of feeling like we’d seen it all after roughly 60 hours. Enjoying the new content in 1.0 on our fresh playthrough so far though. Are you gonna try 1.0 yourself?

[@timo8032]

i get it you play corki

[@jiahangwu2975]

Very detailed review but hard to hear&understand.

[@RascallyRasmus]

Thanks a lot both for watcing and for your feedback! I’m working on improving sound quality for future videos!

[@PrincessBubblegum]

Why create new pickaxe when it doesn't break 😂

[@RascallyRasmus]

I think I just needed one right away ;)

[@Truefacts-j5y]

The game has huge performance problems when your base gets bigger I recoment not buying the game you cannot even setup keybinds or lower graphics or animations for better performance on console I recoment play teraria it's way better performance no matter how many mobs you spawn or however you build it's never lagging

[@RascallyRasmus]

Oh yikes. That sounds bad. Out of interest - What console are you playing on? I agree that console players definitely should be able to change keybinds too!

[@Truefacts-j5y]

@RascallyRasmus not only keybinds even setting of shadows or animations would help alot in on Ps4

[@Truefacts-j5y]

@RascallyRasmus today came 1.06 update and now even the Musik laags sometimes and sometimes the game freezes

[@RascallyRasmus]

Oh no… I certainly hope the game will be fixed asap. I know the devs worked very hard on pc performance so I imagine fixing it for consoles is at the top of their priority list.

[@Truefacts-j5y]

@@RascallyRasmus consoles are dead soon player more and more hate to be not supporter or even last supportet I don't think that this gonna be fixed soon he's just one Dev right so and I don't even know if he know the problems

[@gyrenrockz]

"ISOMETRIC" hahahaha topdown view is now called isometric wahahhaha

[@RukoS-xy6jo]

Isometric? 3D? What is he cooking.

[@subsume7904]

This.. this is an isometric game.. are you confused?

[@realanimalshorts]

the game doesn't feel worth playing with by yourself, especially when they advertise it as being able to be played with 8 people at the same time. playing it alone just feels like you're lacking a lot of fun

[@ManWitScythe]

Usually games are always more fun with friends tbh.

[@RascallyRasmus]

I’m sorry to hear that. I agree with @ManWitScythe though - usually survival games are a lot better with friends. And I can definitely struggle getting into some games if playing solo too.

"minecraft and terraria" is an awful way to spell "stardew valley clone"
