What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's challenging difficulty and atmospheric island setting with environmental hazards that create genuine tension, particularly during nighttime segments. However, criticism centers on slow pacing compared to other action RPGs, limited combat mechanics with a restrictive single skill tree that doesn't encourage creative playstyles, and minimal melee combat options overall.

How to Survive is a surprisingly fun little zombie survival game. The crafting, scavenging, and survival mechanics are simple but satisfying, and I liked having to actually keep an eye on food and water. It's nothing particularly deep, but it knows what it wants to be and doesn't overstay its welcome. I had a good time with it, and I'd recommend picking it up during a sale.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
