  • stability
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting persistent bugs, glitches, and crashes, particularly during loading and gameplay. While some players find the experience enjoyable and acknowledge the potential for improvement, many express frustration over the game's premature early access release and the frequency of issues encountered.

  • gameplay
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of frustration and potential, with many players finding the mechanics stiff and unpolished, particularly in melee combat and aiming. While some aspects, like building and crafting, are praised for their simplicity and selection, the overall experience is marred by awkward mechanics and a lack of guidance. Players express a desire for improvements and updates to enhance gameplay before any focus on graphics or new content.

    • “The mechanics, while a little strange, are easy enough to figure out quickly.”
    • “Mechanics are better than most alpha releases lately, although the melee combat could use a little work.”
    • “The building mechanics are smooth, have a nice selection of components at this point in development, and crafting is simple and not labor-intensive.”
    • “But the gameplay is absolutely stiff.”
    • “The mechanics of the game are that of a rushed unpolished game.”
    • “Awkward game mechanics combined with horrible sound effects makes playing this laughable!”
  • story
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many players noting the absence of quests, missions, or a cohesive narrative, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the exploration and crafting elements, there is a strong desire for more interactive NPCs and a developed storyline to enhance gameplay. Overall, players express hope for future updates that could introduce a more engaging story and additional content.

    • “Can't wait for the continuation of the story.”
    • “Add a more in-depth story line.”
    • “Looking forward to playing, worth investing in the game and happy to say it has both a story line and enemies other than zombies to contend with as far as I can tell and a choice of location if you get the DLC too.”
    • “Add a more in-depth storyline.”
    • “A lot of the points of interest are certainly not developed in regard to 'a story' or 'atmosphere'.”
    • “It's okay to explore, but there are no quests or reason to do anything but explore.”
  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the game offers enjoyable features like base building and farming systems, the resource gathering—particularly for fiber and metal—can be excessively tedious due to limited availability and slow respawn rates. Despite these frustrations, the overall gameplay is considered relatively chill for a survival game, with a decent map to explore and various crafting options.

    • “The grinding for fiber is crazy; there's lots of greenery around but only a few can be harvested, and getting it from trees is very limited. The metal is also extremely limited, and I have to wait for it to spawn.”
    • “The taming system is too simplistic; you just have to click on the animal and it's tamed, which takes the fun out of it. Look at games like Ark for better taming mechanics, like using traps or bait.”
    • “Farming sound effects are terrible and way too loud, making the grinding experience even more frustrating.”
  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, user feedback on optimization is mixed; while some players report smooth performance and high frame rates on capable systems, others express concerns about optimization for lower-end PCs, indicating that improvements are needed. Several users plan to revisit the game once further optimizations are implemented.

    • “The overall performance is great on my PC and graphics look great.”
    • “I have no performance issues, though I am not trying to run it on a 'potato PC' which I fear some that are complaining may well be.”
    • “Optimization would be great.”
    • “I am refunding for now, but I will come back to this game when it is more optimized and change my review.”
    • “The performance isn't perfect, but with FSR, I can reach up to 110/120 FPS on ultra settings.”
    • “I have no performance issues, though I am not trying to run it on a 'potato PC,' which I fear some that are complaining may well be.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is visually stunning and immersive, but many points of interest lack depth in storytelling and character presence, which diminishes the overall experience. While the environment is praised for its beauty, the simplistic AI and repetitive loot detract from the potential for a more engaging atmosphere.

    • “The game is beautiful and has great atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is enhanced by the stunning visuals and immersive environment.”
    • “The ambiance really draws you in and makes you feel part of the world.”
    • “A lot of the points of interest are certainly not developed in regard to 'story' or 'atmosphere'.”
    • “Some infected inmates or pirates would have added a little more 'atmosphere' here and actually provided a reason to be in this area, but I found the loot similar to what you'd find on most of the map.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally considered acceptable, with some players appreciating the sound effects. However, the overwhelming presence of bird sounds has been noted as distracting and excessive.

    • “- The music and sound effects are great as well.”
    • “The music is okay, but the birds were deafening.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate a growing frustration with the game's monetization strategy, which many perceive as a "quick cash grab." Players feel that the game's design encourages short play sessions that lead to lost refund opportunities, contributing to a negative perception of its value and prompting them to advise against purchasing.

    • “I think it is about time Steam addressed this sort of behavior. It is becoming an all too familiar story; one cannot help but think 'quick cash grab', especially when the game reaches night so quickly and you wait for daylight to appear, only to find out that you have played the game long enough to lose your right to redeem your money back from Steam.”
    • “With several other games out there making similar moves, it feels like cash grabs as a whole, so I’d avoid purchasing.”
    • “It feels like a cash grab, especially when the game progresses so quickly to night, leaving players feeling frustrated and unable to get a refund.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is derived from its absurdities, such as glitched animals and the bizarre inclusion of a paraglider, which feels out of place. Players find it amusing that crafting an AK-47 and bullets is possible, while crafting clothes is not, highlighting the game's quirky inconsistencies.

    • “The hunting is weak, the animals are hilariously glitched, and there's a completely out-of-place paraglider that just sort of... exists.”
    • “I find it very funny that you can craft an AK-47 and bullets but not clothes.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently lacks significant replayability due to its incomplete story, though it may appeal to fans of survival and crafting genres. Players suggest that the experience could improve with future updates or expansions.

    • “I don't see a lot of replayability as it is now, since the story isn't completed, but I would recommend it if you like survival and crafting games.”
    • “I don't see a lot of replayability as it is now, since the story isn't completed, but I would recommend it if you like survival and crafting games.”
