Have played for 238 hours. I like best the customization options. You can decide difficulty by determining if you want predators and how many zambies you want to encounter and where. You can turn zambies off altogether if you just want to build. I personally like to fight things, so I enjoy the enemy customization options. Construction is straight forward, and while there aren't as many building pieces as other games, it is enough. I like the progress in available workbenches. Finding technology is a bit of a grind, but you can turn off technology requirements if you like. Critique: I would like to see more of a variety in enemies. I have encountered 3 or 4 zambie types and it would be nice if there more. Also, more variety in zambie attacks would be nice. They are pretty predictable, which is good if you want your game easier, but not so good if you want a little more difficulty.
Yes if you like detailed builder games. Just turn off the vambies and build. But that is not for me (although I enjoyed some of it). I enjoyed the detail put into everything from making food, clothing, tools, machines, vehicles and buildings. Enjoyed the impacts of seasons, health, time and that you had to find, mine/acquire base minerals/produces and put together (sometimes through multiple layers of production) final products. The game has improved alot over time. But unfortunately, I feel it has become overly complicated and I lost the enjoyment of the game because of that. From cooking recipes (with food that hasn't gone off yet) to running wiring, plumbing, processing minerals etc all whilst trying to explore the map and fight off vambies etc. I think the game is trying to be a builder game (good) whilst being an adventure/action game as well (mediocre).
The ONLY negative thing I can say about this game is that you cannot play it with a friend. My sister and I co-op everything and unfortunately we cant with this game. Totally bums me out because this survival game is amazing. Everything else is great, I like the mechanics and find it to be entertaining enough to spend hours playing! I do wish there were more missions or quests to keep things interesting, but overall - GREAT game!
