When this game first came out years ago on the old map, I loved it. The mechanics were wonky but the game was great. It was hard but not as hard. The old map was really great and seemed realistic unlike the current map. I loved playing this game as a survival game. I played for a while and lost interest like many people do. When I came back a few years later, I tried out the new map and boy oh boy does this map...

The store page lists full controller support and it's not even partial the game is not playable with controller as advertised the dev is lair do not buy from a dev who lies about their product there is a reason they feel a need to lie and hide the truth.

I gave this game a shot, I wanted to like it, but it is trash as is. Hope it gets better, since I put to much time into it to get a refund

i am a controller user. the button mapping is atrocious and you cannot change it for controller. played for all of 2 minutes and that was enough. entered world, controls sucked, had objectives and did not know wtf any of them were.

I usually try to give a game 300 to 400 hours before reviewing it to allow for updates and fixes. Took only about 40hrs to build and find everything. No updates of any meaning or that add anything. Sorry, more pieces of paper to collect does not a story make. Game "appears" dead. Nothing to do. Stable yes, but beyond boring now. Total yawnfest. Dev's are around though so I guess its possible something may...

The crafting and building systems are top notch, but the combat is so bad it makes the game nearly unplayable.

Good for "timekilling". Clumsy unclear interface is the game biggest problem. Too many ways to interact with enviroment. For example - died once because no idea how to apply bandage on self.

I have played for about 170 hours and I think this game offers a lot. I've played since the beginning and can only say that the developer is doing a great job, and I'm glad I bought the game. I strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys building mode, zombies, creative freedom, and survival.

The early game survival was sort of neat, minus the magically highlighted sticks, stones, and frogs (making "survival" a trivial matter of finding highlighted resources). Had an alight time, I guess. Until I encountered my first infected at a nearby encampment. They insta-killed me without any feeling of meaningful challenge. The zombies glided into me, weren't responsive to my attacks (i.e., no feeling of "impact"...
