Early Access Review
I think this game has a lot going for it, and the graphics are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. Besides that, if you like survival games, this one has an extreme amount of systems in place to make you feel like it's somewhat of a real scenario. For instance, although everyday you aren't able to see your exact vitamins and proteins flowing through your body, in Scum you can, and like in real life, in Scum you can lose weight or gain weight. There's leveling to do in terms of exercise and practice makes perfect. If you want to get skinny and fast, and strong while doing it, I personally liked to make trips packing a bag full of rocks and carrying it in my hands while I run to where I'm going, and I kept my character's diet small and consistent, eating often but never a lot at once. Sardines were my favorite choice for their low calorie and high protein. I'd often raid the fish factory for unlimited supply of canned goodness. I'd choose to run their even over ridding my motorcycle, and would only use that when trying to pick up a friend or come to their aid. Love this game. The combat is smooth. My problems with it come from the lack of hardcore servers that are still monitored. Officials have bad "Alpha Tribe" groups and hackers, and community run servers are far too easy going and often disable most of the fun of the game, such as finding loot for yourself or weather effects, as well as making literally half the map a safe zone. That, and you never know that when an update comes out, you're PC will be able to run it. I used to play on a 1060 3GB and after an update I could no longer run Scum on any settings, but after buying a 3060 12GB, I can run it extremely well.
