Cons
Con In early access
The game is not yet finished and any design decisions can change. A good amount of the functionality is in an early state and bugs are common.
Con Jack of all trades master of none
The scope of the game is quite large when compared to something like Minecraft, which means there are quite a few mechanics in the game that just do not feel that fleshed out. While there is much one can do in the game, when closely looking at how these things work one can see their failings easily.
Con Development progress is slow
Often many devs that do Early Access bite off more than they can chew which tends to slow down development when they inevitably need to switch engines or do rewrite large portions of the game from scratch.
Con Character is boring and gloomy
The character played in the game has a boring and uninteresting story as well is normally gloomy and downtrodden making it somewhat of a chore playing as such an uninteresting character.
