There was a time in this part of the 2000's, we called the "survival crafting" apocalypse in the gaming world. Many were abandoned, many had bad reviews, many didn't live to the hype or died midway because they could not compete. And few survived, and very few still live long prosperous development... And this game is one of them. A dedicated team, always fixing bugs, bringing new content from time to time and still going at It. This is one of the teams that deserve a prize for their commitment. 7 Days To Die, a long trip from 2013 until now. I saw this game being played on youtube and didn't expect a lot, but seeing the constant updates every month on my feed grew my hopes along the time. Something I have to point out in my own perspective (and perhaps many) in horror games is, as soon the player is given a weapon, the horror factor either decreases a LOT or goes away entirely. NOT in this game! If you play It with headphones at night, alone (no other players), I guarantee this game will scare you even if you have a weapon while exploring for resources. The very rare moments of music in this game is eerie, the ambient sounds (majorly in the "Burned Forest" and "Wasteland" biomes) and the silence always put you on edge, and when a random horde spawns close to you and those "battle music" drums start rolling, you start looking everywhere for your safety. Exploring the ruins can be scary too, mostly if you enter a room, and right next to the door out of your vision is a zombie right on your face, gurgling right into your hears and puching you, It will be a guaranteed jumpscare. And when you are done and/or your inventory is full, you race back to your base and as soon you enter the "claimed" area, nothing beats hearing that piano indicating you are back to your home and safety, but the melody gives out a vibe that you're not out of the woods yet, and any moment a horde decides to spawn with 3 "screamers" ready to spawn in even more zombies. (No joke, those screamers are terrifying at any part of the day!) The Blood Moons, a huge experience farming event, which can also be the end of your base if you REALLY aren't prepared. If you decide to fight this event in your base, good luck and always be on the watch, the hordes don't come from the same direction. But once you beat It and the clock shows 4AM, hearing that sweet piano tune indicating the night is over and a new day dawns, and the event is over, the relieve is real. Graphics. The zombies are really well made and give the look of a real threat, even more if they are irradiated ones cause those are a pain to deal with, and don't get me started on the screamers! Another huge upgrade to the game is the "cosmetic" debris. I still remember WAY BACK in the day, were construction vehicles where designed and made with separate blocks, making it weird destroying them for resources. Now they are It's own models, allowing the player to break them completely. Gameplay also got a huge change too before. You unlocked recipes by reaching new levels and unlock specific perks and such. Now, you have to look for magazines about the topic (like weapons, materials, workshops, etc...), and THAT WAS HUGE, It makes the player explore more and more and that is wise. It keep people enganged. It was before, but now It's even more. The hitbox of the zombies is also superb. If they move a lot, the hitbox moves along, and if in the last 0.5 second, they more their head and you shoot It, It's a miss. Making It a crucial decision in dealing with groups. Go for a quick kill with a gun and probably miss, or go melee and risk getting overwhelmed? Exploring great difficulty ruins is challeging in terms of navigation and fighting your way in, but the rewards are really good. If you want a good and fun survival experience, play It with friends. If you prefer a horror game, play It like I said in the start of this review: alone, headphones, at night.

Is this game good? Yes. Is it worth 44 dollars? no. 1.0 release was just so they could charge more for the game. Its litterally the same exact game with the same bugs and issues before 1.0. Get it on sale or dont get it

It is a very good game. I've had it since it first came out. I played the very first Alpha version and the game has moved forward a lot. BUT. Version 1.0. The price tag is laughable. Game system and recipes? Tell me which idiot came up with the 5 raw meat to 1 grilled meat recipe? Or 1 stone = 1 sand? Why not 2 or 4 sand from one rock? Duct tape? 1 glue and 10 clothes fragment? Why 10? And why is there no recipe for springs? Why can't I lift the storage boxes? And I'm not even talking about seeds. 5 potatoes for 1 seed? WHO THE F*CK WAS THIS IDEA ? There is an awful lot of nonsense in that game (recipes, loot, levels, skill books), and an awful lot of undone things.

Nine years ago today, I purchased 7DTD and have put many hours into it, so I figure it's about time to review the game since it's about to go to 1.0. First off, I don't like zombie movies. They bore me. The only zombie movie I've enjoyed was "Shaun of the Dead". That being said, I was skeptical about the game from the start, but it looked interesting, and I enjoyed it. In those nine years, the game has become my most played game of any. I may look away for a couple weeks if a new game catches my attention, but I always come back here. I have other games of the genre without the zombies, but this blows them away. The game is immersive to a point where you do not want to play it when someone is sleeping nearby, unless you don't mind waking them with your "startled exclamations". Seriously. I speak from experience. Now, like all games, this one has some things which will not appeal to some folks . . . it's inevitable. Fortunately, 7DTD was built with great modding capabilities, and if you don't like something, odds are a modder didn't like it either. The only thing of which I can think that I dislike, I changed with a mod. Graphics: Excellent. I like them. The artwork pulls you in where details abound which help to create a world able to suspend disbelief. Computer is a few years old, but running 5760 x 1080 > 60 fps @ max settings. Gameplay: Very enjoyable. Many options available to find your desired game style. Time to Complete: Define "complete" and look at my time played. Overall, I really like the game, including the zombies. I would recommend this game to anyone that likes the Sandbox/Survival genre, even if you don't like zombies. They work in the game, and I've come to enjoy them in their role. Thanks for your work, TFP.

I guess I should give a positive review since I've played almost 2200 hours... It definitely doesn't suck your life away. I haven't found another game where the mining of all things is as satisfying, nothing scratches the itch quite the same. I do miss the learn by doing, but I think it's more nostalgia than actually missing it.
