I'll just get the negatives out of the way. First, due to many locations having just been abandoned, it makes the game feel a bit apocalyptic, like everyone just up and left without a care in the world, leaving projects unfinished and campsites unkempt. Not to mention the lack of other people, and the only other creatures being dogs, birds, rabbits, and butterflies, also makes it feel very unlively. I get there's a festival going on and everyone went to it, but there are people in the world who just don't enjoy that kind of atmosphere and would rather stay home, or they simply just don't want to go. Then there's the fact the whole game is based on driving a vehicle around, and the lack of a radio makes it way too quiet, especially when the in-game music cuts out for very long minutes at a time. All that being said, I understand projects being left undone gives the player something else to do besides just drive around and explore, and honestly I feel there needs to be more. However, more people being around would make it feel like everything wasn't just abandoned, and that every project left undone and up to the player to finish for them. Despite all that, it's a game based on just enjoying the views, being one with nature, and just relaxing. It's not meant to be a game that keeps the player on edge and expecting twists and turns like most other survival games do. It's a game that gives the player a sense of calmness and peace without too much stress of running out of supplies, and the fear of making the wrong move and being killed by some random monster or trap. Supplies are aplenty and respawn daily, and the only fear of death is starving or possibly falling, both of which are easily avoidable. The only pain in the butt is having to go all the way back to get map specific items, but that's also part of the charm as it gives you more time to just chill and enjoy the drive, stopping to grab other things you need along the way. I look forward to seeing this game become more, and hope future updates add more areas and more things to do, such as fishing. With all the water around, and with it being a survival game, fishing should definitely be implemented as it is a survival aspect, and this is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy fishing at all, even in video games LoL. All in all, it's very enjoyable and relaxing, and with a little more work it has a lot of potential to become a top tier survival game, and I look forward to hopefully seeing plenty of updates.
