  • gameplay
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has seen significant improvements with stable performance, clearer mechanics, and enhanced graphics, making it enjoyable for the price. However, players note that it can become repetitive, and there are issues with movement and gun mechanics, particularly concerning bullet drop and visibility in multiplayer. Despite these flaws, many find the gameplay smooth and fun, with potential for further enhancements in future updates.

    • “The gameplay is pretty well polished, and although there are still bugs, it's surprisingly fun.”
    • “The game is amazing and everyone is nice, it's easy to survive, and the gameplay is super smooth.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth currently, with highly satisfying shooting and multiplayer action!”
    • “My second problem is the gameplay; there's no clear motivation to do anything. I mean, I know it's supposed to be a remake of the Walking Dead Minecraft mod, but I would honestly play the Minecraft version than this.”
    • “Basic movement mechanics are very buggy; I get stuck on corners of many blocks (even grass blocks while running and walking).”
    • “The gun mechanics were pretty bad, especially the bullet drop considering your render distance was a lot farther than the bullet could actually travel.”

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, crashes, and freezing issues since its launch. Many players experience game-breaking glitches, such as black screens and character movement problems, leading to frustration and a lack of interest in continuing to play. While some acknowledge that the game is still in early access and expect bugs, the overall sentiment is that significant improvements are needed for a more stable experience.

    • “Buggy since day one, and neglected since day 524.”
    • “Just spawning with some guns and shooting zombies... if I start the game I have a black screen, and if I left-click it will crash. If I play for a couple of minutes, the game just freezes. I hear my character walking and shooting, but I don't even want to play this game anymore; it feels dead.”
    • “It was fun for a brief moment, but then I ran into a couple of glitches such as zombies being able to hit through walls, invisible bleeding players, and getting stuck on certain blocks while running or even standing.”

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the visuals and art style as "amazing" and "nice," while others find them lacking and in need of improvement. The game has seen updates that enhanced its graphics and optimization, but some users feel that certain elements, like the campfire, overshadow the overall world design. Overall, while the graphics are generally well-received, there is a consensus that they could benefit from further development and additional features.

    • “Graphics and everything is amazing! Highly recommend this as a game for your Steam library.”
    • “Overall, the game was abandoned for quite a while, and the devs came back again with a few updates. The new graphics, mechanics, items, and the map made the game a lot better for now. The game is well optimized.”
    • “Servers are empty, but I know the developers can't help that. The graphics are nice, and the design is also nice; it just needs more features.”
    • “The art style is strange and there's no servers to play on.”
    • “The art style of the game is okay but it could be improved greatly as it seems that the creator added more emphasis on the campfire (by far the prettiest thing I saw in the game) than he did on the actual world.”
    • “Overall, the game was abandoned for quite a while and the devs came back again with a few updates, the new graphics mechanics items and the map made the game a lot better for now, but the graphics could still use improvement.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players noting that it was poorly optimized and suffered from barren servers, leading to a lack of engagement. However, others have praised its stable performance and improved game mechanics, highlighting a well-optimized experience that enhances enjoyment. Overall, the game's optimization appears inconsistent, affecting player perceptions of its value.

    • “The game's performance was stable, and the game mechanics were more clear now.”
    • “Well optimized.”
    • “I have had so much fun playing this game that is so well optimized!”
    • “Badly optimized and barren servers; I can't see any reason to pay £7. Perhaps if it was free, it would encourage more players, but right now it's simply not worth it.”
