game is so ass4 found this helpful
Was honestly looking forward to this game, it looked pretty good. Unfortunately the bugs are unplayable, getting continuessly rubber banded when you get out of you vehicle makes it unplayable, had bosses and enemies fall under the map which makes running a high POI pointless when their bag spawns under the map. At the current stage i wouldn't recommend this, its a buggy mess that might get fixed one day4 found this helpful
Has great potential, but a looooong way to go. As of July 2026 - three years after "launch" - it's pretty ass to play. Feels like early beta, with a plethora of really bad bugs (as well as a few funny ones), weird ass flight controls, illogical designs and impressively horrible execution. It's a shame, because they do have a few cool ideas in there, they just haven't made good on them.2 found this helpful
***I Only recommend it at $10 sale price*** This game could be really nice but it suffers from a few glaring issues which I will outline in hopes that the Devs see it and take it seriously. I would submit tickets but that process annoys me. Feel free to spend your time doing that if you think it will help. Given the state of developers these days I doubt anything will change and this may just end up being another high potential game that gets abandoned after the money slows. 1. AI - a. Zombie AI is trash, they are dumb, easy to avoid and a very underwhelming threat. b. Animal AI is unreactive, they stand still and let you walk right up to them and bash them on the head. This makes hunting super unrewarding and dull. Just grinding from animal bones and hide without any stealth skill required. Boars should be aggressive, deer should flee...shouldn't be that complicated. 2. Optimization - Frame chugging on medium settings on a rig that smashes games like ARK, 7DTD and Icarus on max settings without any issues. I hit a zone around a church that causes massive lag and frame drops and eventually totally crashed my PC. This was most certainly an issue with the game not the hardware …2 found this helpful
