About

"PostCollapse is a survival game set in a collapsed civilization's ruins, spanning a vast 120 square km procedurally-generated world. Players must gather resources, construct tools, grow food, and hunt for sustenance, while adapting to the game's unique winter/summer cycle that lasts only a few days each. Choose any building as your headquarters, storing items and setting up a base of operations as you navigate this harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape."

  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally considered basic, with some players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative, such as quests involving recipe discovery or clues for survival. While some reviews highlight a great story alongside gameplay, others note that the story is average, suggesting that the focus is more on survival mechanics than on a compelling plot. Overall, the game appeals to those seeking a simple survival experience rather than a rich narrative.

    • “5 of 5 great story, great gameplay.”
    • “4 of 5 great story, average gameplay.”
    • “It would also be nice if there were more of a storyline (maybe finding recipes in libraries or hunting down clues for a survival compound). It would also make a great format for a multiplayer game.”
    • “The current storyline is basic, but again, if you buy into this early access version, you can put your ideas straight to the developers.”
    • “I think the beginning quest for potato seeds should be changed; however, I completed the quest once, but when I did my second playthrough, I literally spent a whole hour looking through cars looking for potato seeds.”
    • “I think the quest should be changed to any seeds.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them acceptable for the genre, while others criticize them as crude and outdated. Many note that the visuals do not enhance the survival experience, especially in a post-apocalyptic setting, and mention issues like glitches. Overall, while some appreciate the low-poly aesthetic, the consensus leans towards disappointment in the graphical quality.

    • “Here's the thing: if you're not going to do post-apocalypse with zombies or robots or something to build tension, then you really need to ace the graphics and depth of the survival experience.”
    • “Good sounds and graphics for this type of game.”
    • “Has some graphics glitches but nothing too serious.”
    • “Useless day night cycle, minimal skill depth, forgettable scenery, and third-rate graphics make this a bit grueling.”
    • “It's incredibly badly designed, crude graphics, and more like something that could be new and exciting 20 years ago.”
    • “Still very early access, released a few months ago, but the graphics and physics are already far beyond what this piece of garbage is capable of.”
  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, fitting the overall atmosphere and enhancing the experience with its pleasant and old-school feel. However, some players feel that the variety of music could be improved, as the sound effects are often considered bland. Overall, while the music contributes positively, there is a desire for more diverse tracks to accompany different game instances.

    • “Music perfectly fits the game.”
    • “Good music that fits the game very well.”
    • “Some animals stick their heads through walls constantly and the sound effects are quite bland; mostly, though, some music is okay.”
    • “Music, atmosphere, old school feel, all is in here...”
    • “A little atmospheric music helps as you explore, but watch out for those bears!!!”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players noting a promising premise and solid basic mechanics, but criticizing the unbalanced elements and numerous bugs that detract from the overall experience. Issues such as unrealistic time progression and rapid starvation contribute to a frustrating survival experience. Overall, while the game shows potential, it struggles with execution.

    • “Yet another good start on a survival title using mechanics that are basic but solid.”
    • “Good premise, decent mechanics, too buggy.”
    • “Like I'm not picky about graphics or mechanics, but top-to-bottom the game is hot garbage.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the extensive grinding aspect of the game, noting that it offers over 20 hours of farming content with a strategic approach to resource management. The ability to level up skills and the regenerative nature of trees and animals provide a sense of unlimited endgame farming potential, making it appealing for those who enjoy logistics in survival games. Overall, the game is considered a great value for its price, with many players finding it addictive and rewarding.

    • “Includes up to 20 hours+ minimum of farming content, all resources are perishable, but if you have a good strategy leveling up farming, you can save metals and scrap materials to buy necessary tools and last many in-game years in this game.”
    • “You can level up certain stats that allow you to make certain chores easier on you, such as holding items (which all have weight), chopping wood, fishing, farming, and also hunting!”
    • “This game is great for people who just want a simple survival game that requires logistics... also it is possible for trees to regrow and animals to reproduce so there is arguably unlimited endgame farming since you can stash some items unlimitedly.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game presents a promising premise and decent mechanics; however, it suffers from significant bugs, including spawning glitches reminiscent of "7 Days to Die" alpha versions and some minor graphical issues. Overall, stability is a notable concern for players.

    • “Good premise, decent mechanics, too buggy.”
    • “The level terrain also has some odd spawning glitches that look similar to 7 Days to Die alpha.”
    • “Has some graphics glitches but nothing too serious.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a solid and immersive atmosphere, characterized by a strong sense of solitude enhanced by atmospheric music. However, it requires some polish to fully realize its potential, especially in creating a more engaging environment while players navigate potential threats like bears.

    • “It's a solid and atmospheric survival game with a particularly good sense of solitude.”
    • “A little atmospheric music helps as you explore, but watch out for those bears!”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is enjoyable and reasonably priced, but it suffers from optimization issues, as players with decent hardware, like a GTX 1650 Ti and 16GB of RAM, report frame rates around 45 FPS, occasionally dropping to 35 FPS. While it remains playable, the performance does not meet expectations for its graphical fidelity.

    • “This game is pretty fun and it's definitely worth the price, but it needs better optimization. I have a GTX 1650 Ti mobile and 16 GB of RAM, and it runs at around 45 FPS, with some drops down to around 35. That's not good for a game that looks like this, but it is playable overall. I would still recommend it.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is severely hindered by technical issues, such as frequent crashes during loading, leading players to feel it lacks the content and polish found in other titles. As a result, many users find it not worth revisiting.

    • “The game has not improved; it crashes now when trying to load it. It's not worth it when there are other games out there that are more playable and have more content.”
