To be clear, the Breath Of The Wild aspects are pretty minor. It plays little jingles when you find new landmarks that are very BotW-esque, you can get a glider, the UI is similar sometimes, and it has a climbing system that I never use. It's clearly an inspiration, but it's mostly not gameplay features.

It's a lot more similar to Ark in terms of the base building/progression. The combat is it's own thing- nothing springs to mind as a clear comparison.

But yeah, fair. Nothing lost by waiting and seeing where it goes.

That's good to hear. If it's basically Ark but I can shoot Pokemon, I'll probably find it fun. But yeah, I'll hold out for a couple months to see where it goes.
