Nov. 2024

Alright, how to begin... The game has its good and bad for sure. 1st the BAD: 1. OPTIMISATION: Game could use tad bit more of optimisation. FPS drops are so severe at certain parts of the map its absurd. (Cathedral/catacombs dungeon for example, or Radar base/dungeon) 2. STORY: Ehh I dont want to sound like a smartass, but its naive and full of holes. And most of all, predictable. (We definetly didnt know that we are also mutant experiment gone with full success.) 3. SURVIVOR QUESTs: We cant shuffle quests from survivors, meaning that if they offer certain quests you DONT want or CANT do. Well tough luck, they gonna offer them ALL the time untill you complete them. Only then will you get option for other quest type. (Survivors offer 6 in total) Can we get the option to shuffle/randomise quests each new day? (And add more quest types please.) 4. MESH ISSUE: There are still buildings within the game which have mesh issues. Meaning lootable containers are near wall or ground but you cant reach to loot them. Because in plain sight you would think you can aproach, but in truth mesh is preventing you. (Some sewers have that issue at enterance or if you want to loot skeleton bodies, you simply cant pass or reach them because of mesh/invisible wall issues) 5. MULTIPLAYER: Server performance is rather poor and very unstable. And they DISABLED Waves/Horde at night. What gives? That is the main attraction of the game. Look I understand that Day 100 Horde/Wave would wipe out most newcomers/newbies, to remedy that a bit. Start the Wave/Horde every 3rd Day(Or every 6-7 days). 3 full days in game is more than enough to prepeare a modest base. Also Newbies should know NEVER to build in the open, always use pre-existing buildings in the game. 6. DUNGEON TRAPs: Are annoying and as if Devs wanted to build an MMO not a single player game. EVERY-SINGLE lootable container within a dungeon is rigged with spike traps, which is more annoying than intrigueing. And EVERY dungeon has SAME traps. You go to Radar underground base and instead of laser or missile traps, you still get medieval spike traps. 7. BOSS FIGHTs: Only complaint here is that most Bosses have a cheap one-shot-kill move. Every time you deal large amount of dmg to the Boss, they gonna do the magical spin, that will drag you to them and will insta kill you. This is dirty and cheap Boss mechanic which was used durning 90's and 2000's Boss fights. Such mechanics were used to hide Developer inability to code proper Boss AI and abilities. Its almost 2025 Devs! Alright those were the bads which I encountered, now the GOOD. The GOOD: 1st ITEM GRADE SYSTEM: No item is the same in the game. Sure you might find Leather Armor all the time, but every time it will have unique different stats and built-in Coils with 0-5 sockets.(Depending of RNG) This ranges from Armor,Weapons to Accessories. 2nd TIER SYSTEM: Lets say you find Tier 1 Ring with supper good unique stats. Eventually you gonna find better tier 5 similar item but with worse unique stats. Dont worry, your T1 Ring can still be upgraded to Tier 5 with enough resources invested. That will increase its base stats and bring it up to par with that T5 item. And it will retain those super usefull unique stats which RNG granted you. You can do this with most items within the game, unique stats are very important and pay attention to them. All in all, this game is looter/hoarder's dream. There is always search for new items and their stats. 3. MAP: Map is super large, tho its size smtimes at certain areas make it feel empty because of that. 4. ZOMBIES: Game can handle more Zombies than 7DaysToDie durning Horde night. And within game in general. It stutters at certain parts of them map because of that, but it isnt that bad. 5. CUSTOM DIFFICULTY: You can customise most settings within the game, which is nice. OVERALL: They say the game is done, 1.0 but it could use some finishing touches at certain parts of it. I am giving it a THUMBS UP, it aint perfect game, it has issues. If I had to give it a score, it would be 7/10. (Buy at discount)

I've just finished the main story with 169 hours of gameplay, and I must say, this game is incredible. Although it feels a bit unusual at the beginning, this actually works in its favor, as the game introduces unique mechanics that differ from traditional survival games. These mechanics might not be immediately clear, but they add a refreshing twist to the genre. The daily horde attacks, while intimidating at first, quickly become a highlight of the game. The trap mechanics make each night an exhilarating experience. The map is vast, offering plenty of loot, numerous mobs, world bosses, main story bosses, a variety of weapons, and fantastic upgrade mechanics. I highly recommend this game. It's super fun and definitely worth your time.

Amazing game but i have one problem i have to run around to get stuff from chests i wish the developers add a chest that connects to workbenches i a range and auto give the item you need.

I have played this game for 700+ hours in the last year. Such a great game. It gets so much better with each update. It is so enjoyable figuring out the different mechanics (and there is like a ton of them). One of my favorite games of all time. Kudos to the devs. Hopefully this game will get a ton of more updates in the future.

I have been playing and following this game basically since it was announced and released on steam. Been loving this game since day one and the improvement on this game has been gigantic and with all the love and effort the developer puts into this game i know it will keep on improving and growing as will my love for this game. One of the best open world zombie survival games out there and i would highly recommend this game to anyone that loves post apocalyptic survival games. Especially if you love playing with friends as well. Got all my friends into this game as well and we have a blast together. PS. If the developer happens to see my review...Please allow us to break boxes, couches, beds, cupboards ex ex in the POI's so we can fully occupy the buildings as a base without the random clutter getting in the way if we want to place a workbench or something in a particular place XD. This is my only grievance with the game so far.
