The Survivalists is a different take on the survival genre. In the Survivalist you don't need to do all the work yourself, instead the core mechanic of the game is the capturing and training of monkeys who can help you with combat, crafting and building. You take them along during exploration and teach them how to handle various tasks. The game itself is not that different from most games, except for the monkey mechanic. You explore various islands, build a base, craft stronger gear and eventually escape the game. You will need the game wiki to help you through the game though. The Survivalist is more fun to play co-op then it is by yourself. The base price of 25 euro's is way to steep, but if you can pick this up for a good price it's definitely word a shot!

Very fun, but not an entirely refreshing experience. Gameplay loop will eventually get to you, as the mechanics (and, consequently, the "grind") get pretty straight forward very quickly. The controls and the combat seem a bit janky, and the game isn't without a quirky bug here and there. However, the castaway setting has seldom been properly displayed in a video game, and the overall feel, sound and environment of the game are truly spetacular. Adding the colouring palette, the different NPC's and fauna, as well as the different biomes, and The Survivalists becomes an enjoyable experience (at least for some time).

I don't understand all the hate and complaint about the lack of content. Yes, the UI isn't fancy and the plot is quite straight forward, but I think it's just enough. It's a very cute and fun game. I've spent about 60 hours to 100% the game and getting all of the achievements. Had a ton of fun with my husband. I've got it on sale and I think it's worth it. My husband and I also don't experience any bugs, data corruption or connection issue while playing together.
