Your team has something brewing, unfortunately your game is so buggy it is almost unplayable. I appreciate your team responding to reviews but a lot of what was flagged as a bug persists today. Our group of 3 experiences issues getting into the same lobby, frame/stuttering issues, DC'ing and loss of inventory upon return, inability to remove campfire pings, etc. I'll be checking back in here in the future to see if your team has fixed this game enough to play it co-op with my friends and see if the review changes then, but as of right now I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone looking to play co-op. From what I've seen online, the game looks to play better when playing solo. I would focus on fixing what you guys have over adding content and marketing this out now...we weren't able to even enjoy the current amount of content that's out. And it seems like there is a lot of it.14 found this helpful
game is not ready. v-sync doesnt even seem to apply, so i get super horrible screen tearing.2 found this helpful
So far so good> Have watched videos and made some mistakes, but survival games are like that. I don't fully know what happens but i know it will be fun. Check this game out for sure.2 found this helpful
I'm only giving this game a low recommendation because it has alot of bugs but has the potential of being a great game. It's a cool concept game. But it's buggy AF atm cause it's a team of 4 I beleive making this game. Me and my buddy are not getting our money back, we'll weight it out and hope it's not gonna turn into a early access abadongame. As of now, the mouse moves by itself to the right on both myself and my buddies rig's. My buddies the host couldn't pick up hardly anything off the ground that was vital mission components. Those are the ones on top of my head without going back in. Keep up the good work, it really does have potential. Because of the bugs, we couldn't really get a full feel for the game because of the lack of functionality. I hope to change my recommendation in the near future and get to emerse myself in this game.
i like it lots of fun great concept for a game and the huge open area is fun to explore although needs more animals i spent 3 hours on the game and found one animal and it was a mountain lion, also bug i kept finding was trying to fill my empty bottle up at a lake it wouldnt let me actaully most of the water i went to on my 2nd life it wouldnt let me fill my empty bottles up ive died a few times cause of that, i will contiune to play the game cause im curious to see where it goes and i know it will get better i would recommend this game it has alot of potential
Absolutely love this game. I'm hooked when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about it. As someone who loves the outdoors and weird government conspiracies, this game is it. Yeah has some bugs, but for early access I don't think its that bad. My kids love playing with me and are always trying to figure out what's going on. Keep up the good work, so far fantastic.
