I would normally say we have another survival game on our hands, but typical early access games have more stuff to build. What we have with Hobo: Tough Life is an interesting idea trapped on a bland map with limited interaction. You can scavange in dumpsters, beg for money and collect money to get better food in order to survive. In select areas, you can also create a hideout to store supplies and get a better night sleep. This is all you can really do at the moment with every routine dumpster dive or conversation granting experience points to make certain actions easier or to unlock new crafting options.

Problem: the game has major technical problems that can halt progress with the drop of a hat. Upon further playing, I found my character endlessly falling, trapped between two textures and also found myself unable to craft due to missing prompts. The motion is also sickening for some reason, but this could just be me. I would hold of on this one for now until they get more content and fix some of the more severe issues that can render playthroughs void.
