    The gameplay of "No One Survived" has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its potential but highlighting significant issues such as clunky mechanics, poor AI, and subpar graphics.

    • “Overall, I feel like this is the perfect game for a casual gamer looking to get into a little more challenging gameplay, without the hardcore punishment that comes with other survival games.”
    • “I would have continued with this game, but the building/construction mechanic is horrendous.”

    • “The gameplay itself is crap and clunky.”
  • optimization192 mentions

    • “Optimization is a big one.”
    • “The game looks good, it is fairly well optimized, and it isn't by any means unenjoyable.”

    • “The game's optimization is overly poor where half the time I'm trying to spend playing the game I'm crashing and trying to reboot back into a server.”
    • “Very poorly optimized, incredibly simple mechanics, 2005 levels of detail and graphics.”
    • “Performance is very choppy with frequent stuttering and fps drop, even on a high-end rig.”
  • stability142 mentions

    • “For an early access game, it's pretty well bug-free and filled with content.”
    • “Game is very buggy when it first came out. Performance was playable, but now adding everything without a solid foundation makes the game very laggy to the point where it's unplayable. I would recommend waiting until they fix the bugs and optimization.”
    • “Extremely buggy, ugly, early access title with clunky, sluggish, and boring combat, lackluster and counter-intuitive crafting and building recipes, set in a typical survival world full of emptiness with a few loot containers here and there but nothing that makes you go 'oh wow this'll definitely change the dynamics of the game.'”
    • “I would not spend the cash on this game now, but rather wait a year maybe when it's closer to done. As of right now, it's very buggy.”
  • grinding130 mentions

    The game's grinding mechanics receive mixed feedback, with many players noting that while it can be tedious, it is not excessively grindy compared to other survival games. Players appreciate the rewarding looting and crafting systems, but some express frustration over the time required for gathering materials and managing inventory. Overall, the grind is seen as a necessary aspect of the gameplay, contributing to the survival experience, though it can sometimes feel overly tedious.

    • “It can be a bit grindy sometimes, but the rewards make it worth it.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding, but the sense of achievement is incredible.”
    • “But you can't actually build anything at all unless you spend at least 10 hours grinding, and by the time you realize it's not worth the effort, you're well past Steam's arbitrary 2-hour time limit for requesting a refund.”
    • “Anyway, in this edition, we also have to deal with an insanely grindy progression that also depends on the favor of RNG to find the specific singular material you need to unlock certain branches in your tech tree in an attempt to artificially extend your playtime.”
    • “Crafting is tedious and inventory management is annoying.”
  • story94 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and structure, with many players noting the absence of quests, missions, or a coherent narrative.

    • “This clearly tells a story of some awesome things yet to come... and quickly too.”
    • “Unfortunately, there are no game modes other than 'survival', and the entire plot is limited to a short introductory text at the beginning of survival.”
    • “No one survived is a game with a shallow premise, exactly zero explanation on how to progress on the crafting tree, zombies, and the story is precisely 2 sentences long.”
    • “No real story or any feeling of accomplishment or even progression, just build an ugly house and survive.”
  • atmosphere30 mentions

Overall, the atmosphere is seen as having potential, especially for fans of survival games, but it requires further refinement to fully realize that potential.

    • “I would like a little music, kind of like State of Decay 1 and 2.”
