Ratings and reviews

There's several reviews about not getting past age verification, but I don't even get to that point. When I hit play, I get transported to a blue sky all around with other characters occasionally spawning on top of me. When I close out of the app and go back in, I'm transported to the same nothingness but this time with a nighttime setting instead of a daytime setting. There also doesn't appear to be a way to play single-player, which the description hinted at.

Edit: I did some research and it's not just a bad game, it's tied to NFTs so it's a bad game AND a scam. The controls are rough, and the game seems to be built around mostly grinding, but also a sprinkle of setting timers that they can sell you a way around.

Can't move. Literally can't move my character what so ever. Game loads fine "no issue's there" but shortly there after you find yourself standing on a dock with several other players spawning in on top of you and that's it. You can open the world map, go into character view ect but your doomed to stand and watch.
