Here are things I like about the game and how much and things I dont like about the game and how much. Been playing a year, few hundred hours into playing over the last year plus.

++++ Walking around at night with the current light.

++++ Art Direction and artistic impression and overall look of the game is impressive

++++ Weather changes in the current build, the transitions are finally finally "lifelike" in their realism presentation. This could be the final build of this and look great.

++++ Really like the core condition system and way afflictions affects player capability

+++ Wood foraging system. This is awesome, please make the boxes for "stick" bigger so they are easier to pick up. Also please consider making the branch breaking faster but cost some stamina.

+++ Ability to craft knives and hatchets, never done it yet but really nice to make it so it is not impossible to make these tools if you can't find one or mess up and end up losing your last one.

++ Level design is varied and fresh, assets can be used over more than one level with some carry over and unique items too and that is a plus.

+ Bow & Arrow crafting, adds so much more fun and skill than just rifle hunting. A good weapon, unfortunately I feel that the limited nature of the materials isn't really the best model for a game. Would like to see more types of arrows, some with less durability but craft-able with generic sticks.

- Lack of Additional weapons, like a spear which should be a day 1 weapon. Ability to set other traps, dead fall.

- Lack of realism on snow gathering

- Lack of realism on containers for water, should have to have capacity gathered not just given form heaven

-- Lack of true wolf group AI, and animal dynamics, hearing owls all the time never see any, not modeled, would like dozens of animals found to be modeled, some aggressive some not, some good calorie sources, birds which should be more easily hunted.

-- Lack of fire bow or fire-building with just wood which is totally possible to do

-- Inability to stop "sleeping to death"

-- Forests are too bare, you can see for too far, there are hardly any areas where the underbrush hasn't been cleared. No areas where visibility is 50 feet. Why is that? Engine limitation?

--- Inability to manually catch rabbits, should be possible to grab these guys by hand.

---- Much too difficult to bow & arrow hunt rabbits when it should be easier than hunting wolves.

---- Deer AI is pretty lame, they should be much more coy, and as soon as they spot you, movement, they should immediately react and probably run, having deer walking on the lake is so ridiculous because a deer wouldn't be walking on an icy surface when their primary predator the wolf has much better traction on the ice.

---- Fewer animals, you can walk in the forest for an hour or more and only spot a single animal or a whole day and maybe spot large game, in TLD you can't be outside more than 10 min and spot multiple animals. Its just silly how many calories are out there.

A spear is the probably the weapon which makes most sense one would craft himself in a survival situation it could be used for rabbit hunting, sneaking up to a rabbit and try thrusting it, maybe for fishing with a very, very low chance and maybe to defend yourself from a wolf, if you hit it should break though...

A snare which can catch deer and wolf and keep them trapped for a few hours where you can kill them would be interesting, also with a chance for them to escape and a little chance for them to die if you dont kill them yourself.

Yes, wolfs already hunt together if they both get triggered but some kind of herd mechanic would be nice, also if they both hunt a deer they should both feed on it, or if one wolf strolls across a other feeding wolf it could try to get its food, both start growling and apparently one runs off...

More different animals and less deer, wolf deer combo is so easy to get and feeds you for a really long time, seeing a owl sitting in a tree would be very nice too.
