Jordan Lemos, GIZORAMA - "It’s always an interesting experience when loading up an Early Access game for the first time. These projects have grown quite a bit over the past year and they each come in various stages of development. Rising World decided to enter the scene fairly early on, and such a decision can either help or hurt them in the long run. As of now, it’s in Alpha 0.5.1.3 and it released on December 3rd. The good part of getting Rising World out there early is that they can start building up a community now while securing additional funding. The bad side is the risk that your playerbase will either quit before the game is fully released or that a broken build or two may completely turn off first time players completely. Even though most gamers know to expect anything but a completed game, a first impression is still just that, and while Rising World may seem like it’s early on in its initial release, it already shows a lot of potential."

Rising World doesn’t do anything really new but what it does, it does very well. As usual you are dropped into a world with minimal gear, a stomach that will soon begin to rumble and a hint at dangers that may come your way. A journal gets you started with building your first shelter and telling you how to gather your first necessary resources.

"I really liked the look of JIW-Games, Rising World. It is an open world, sandbox, resource gathering and building game, without the block styling of minecraft. The game is still in Early Access, which means that you’ll be privy to a few untouched glitches and craftable items that require no resources. Such as the sword and battleaxe. Is this game going to be able to contend with the all mighty Minecraft? Or will it sit on the sideline and watch Minecraft continue to run ahead?" says calmdowntom
