SCUM isnât your typical survival gameâitâs more like being stranded in the woods with a hangover, no pants, and a deep-seated fear of public restrooms. You start with basically nothing, and by ânothing,â I mean youâre literally running around in your tighty-whities wondering why you signed up for this masochistic camping trip from hell. The first thing you'll notice? This game cares more about your characterâs bowel movements than your real-life doctor does. You ever play a game where you have to stop looting a dead body because your guyâs gotta drop a deuce in the middle of the forest? Welcome to SCUM. Youâll be checking your bladder and colon like itâs your new hobby. Forget tactical reloadsâthis is tactical toilet time. Then thereâs the puppets. These freaks donât just want to nibble on you; they want to tear you apart like youâre the last piece of toilet paper in a gas station bathroom. One minute youâre enjoying a peaceful stroll through the woods, thinking, âHey, maybe Iâll finally find some pants,â and the next, youâre running for your life, screaming like a little kid whoâs just seen their first horror movie. You better have a weapon, and no, your fists wonât cut itâunless you like being a human chew toy. And just when you think youâre getting the hang of it, some random player will show up and shove a spear up your backside just for fun. Trust issues? Oh, youâll have them after this. The PvP in SCUM is like Tinder with gunsâswipe right and hope they donât ghost you with a bullet to the head. But honestly, thatâs what makes SCUM beautiful in its own twisted, depraved way. Youâre not just surviving; youâre constantly questioning why you didnât just go play something chill, like Animal Crossing. But nah, youâre here, knee-deep in puppet guts and somehow having the time of your life while simultaneously wishing for a therapist. All in all, if youâre into hardcore survival, love tracking your urine output, and enjoy being screwed over by both NPCs and other players, then SCUM is your chaotic dream come true. Just donât forget to pull your pants up before the puppets pull them down.

The new zombie spawns ruined the game for me. I imagine it was for performance reasons but watching 10 zombies spawn in a small circle when you enter a new area was unimmersive. Edit: The developer responded to me with straight transparency and it shows me that they care about their customer which makes me incredibly optimistic about the future of this game. The game itself is very incredible - I do just PVE with my friends and when they had changed the zombie spawns it felt like the difficulty/immersion of the game was greatly reduced. I have no idea what struggles a dev team goes through and I imagine they had their valid reasons. Hopefully it can get resolved because for me personally I would put another 100+ hours in once they figure it out. Best, Mitch

I play single player, so that's what I'm reviewing. You can modify pretty much every aspect of your server, once you do that it's a pretty fun game. Performance is pretty good, graphics are good, gun play is satisfying & looting is fun once you crank up the loot %. If this looks like a game you'd be into but don't want to deal with cheaters, griefers, and toxic people the SP mode is a good time.

SCUM is an incredibly detailed Survival/PVP game. You can get completely immersed and play how you want to. Overall I absolutely love this game. If you like survival, and want realism you should try it out. Pros: [*]Huge world that looks fantastic with different biomes. The devs regularly update the map with new points of interest. [*]Sim level detail of your character; you needs to eat, drink, poo. The way you eat and move affects your body composition. You are affected by the different areas of the map. For example; the cold and snow in the mountains, to the radiation zone, and the hot climate of the south. [*]Accurate ballistics; bullets have realistic trajectory and damage. [*]Base building; you can either fortify existing buildings or build your own base. [*]Unparalleled detail of items in the world; Your NVG's need batteries (which will drain). The vehicles are modular and can be armored up and customized. [*]Regular dev updates with good community engagement; in the time I've played there have been half a dozen big updates, from adding modular base building and vehicles, to introducing more realistic humans with clothing that fits the characters, with lots of new weapons. Cons: [*]Cheaters; the best way to play is to go on player run servers with good admins. Not ideal, and because the game is a slow burn. It requires a lot of patience and time. Which makes cheating even worse because you can lose a lot of stuff. [*]The game is so detailed that I think the devs are now having to spend a disproportionate amount of time optimizing. Some things were removed for performance that made the world feel more alive. I question whether it's that important to have a car that you can almost strip bare vs keeping the old hunting system (birds etc). Suggestions: [*]More varied weather system. Having more than 20 minutes of rain. Storms that last hours would be a lot of fun, fog/mist etc. Plus different weather like sleet, and strong wind. [*]Trains that travel on the existing tracks as a means to get around the world like GTA 5. [*] Zombies that can be snuck up on and killed silently. [*]Reduce the complexity of the modular vehicles. With so many vehicles, finding a wheel for a laika vs a ranger vs a VW is something that takes far too long. [*]More realistic physics for the vehicles, especially boats.

WILL YOU QUIT ADDING DLC CHARACTER SKINS TO THIS UNFINISHED GAME IT DOESN'T NEED THEM RIGHT NOW!!! I like this game it has great potential and when 1.0 releases and mod support comes out it will be played by all but until then wait on buying and playing. A few things i would like to see added/fixed, -Remove the limping when you hurt your arms, seriously this makes no sense I understand low health slowness but this needs reworked. -Ability to open/shut the car doors when in and not driving. -Puppets need more work, don't like swinging through them when they're a little to close. -Would have been cool to see a new puppet for the horde screamer. -Quit adding character skins they're not bringing players back to the game especially at $15. -add a drink/eat button without having to open the inventory -last one and most important add weights and the ability to do push-ups its a prison game come on, like do you see people using the wheel barrel for leveling strength and go yeah that's all we need.
