Early Access Review
This game is intense. I mean INTENSE, provided you play it in single player with default settings and normal difficulty.

You will certainly die screaming. I mean literally in the MY GOD THEY SPOTTED ME THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THE DOOR I GRAB MY TORCH AND HIT THE FIRST --- AAAAH I'M BURNING I AM BUUUUURNIIIIING! die screaming sense.

You will constantly suffer thirst and hunger. You're either be too cold or too hot. You get sick and you get tired. There are never enough resources. The Zombies are smart-a** b*tch*s. And they are dark, perfectly for an environment that is mostly dark. And wet. And too cold. Or too hot.

The crafting system is a bit complicated and stupendous at the beginning. But why should you care? You won't find enough things to survive, anyway, and you will die screaming. Enter a small village with only 6 zombies and you have 40 wooden arrows with an aiming talent of 2? No problem in other games... here you still have a fair chance of dying screaming.
It's intense, it feels eerily real. You are really there. That's the best thing you can say about any game, and you can certainly say it about this one.

So far I only played a few hours in single player mode (SP), and I already died two times. My experience from other FPS didn't help me much... (started in 1994 with Doom, go figure, there were humans back then).
Multiplayer? Haven't tried yet, I'm just too unexpierienced. This is no action shooter, this is a mean survival game.

Crafting and building - 7D2D is Minecraft on steroids with FPS elements and fairly good graphics. Did I mention you will literally die screaming?
Btw, 7D2D has different difficulty settings, and there also are settings for unlimited resources and no enemies (apart from bears, they still appear...). I sincerely recommend playing 7D2D on the easiest setting with default values at first. Wait, you mentioned bears? Yes, bears. Die screaming, you know the drill.

Mining, building a vast fort? All possible, but you have to be really experienced to try such things. Now go die screaming.
