Good survival-esque game, good for at least 20-30 hours of content! Regular content updates keep the game fresh and bring players back to test new features. They also have seasonal content throughout the year. Very much worth the price. I hope they expand the automation features, good as they already are!

lot of stuff good, music is ok, a few bugs still, very happy with time playing

It is preferable to Minecraft

I like: how much you can do to affect the world, and your character. Base building, skill training, crafting, difficulty of combat with zombies. The "moodles," and what you have to keep track of, add a sense of realism.

With the new update in testing, they even have new systems in place that add more layers of stuff to keep track of: insulation of your clothing, tailoring and scratch and bite resistance on clothing in general; among a bunch of other new things.

I dislike: how some basic things don't feel as solid as they should be; an example being zombie hitboxes, and where they fall versus where you're stepping on them. Sometimes, when you try to step on them, you aren't actually hitting them when it looks like you are. So it can lead to very tense situations, where you're fighting multiple zombies and the mechanics are failing you because they aren't as tight as they should be. I feel like this kind of stuff should be a major priority versus adding new mechanics and such, but that's just my opinion as a player.

Story good, controls a little wonk 9.9/10

Really enjoyed the first game. Currently a few hours into exploring, and I feel like I'm going to enjoy this one too! It's got pretty poor optimization due to it being early access; I played the original game on low settings, and I can barely play on low/off AND scaling down my resolution to 400x300. So, if you're riding the line between a system that can play it and can't, this level of playability might not be for you. Looking forward to future optimizations!
