✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the core survival concept and atmosphere, with some finding the game genuinely scary and engaging. However, there's consistent feedback that the game feels unfinished at launch, with complaints centered on unresponsive and unsatisfying combat mechanics, clunky interaction systems (requiring manual object selection rather than intuitive controls), limited exploration incentives, and a lack of narrative depth beyond basic survival mechanics.
*** This review is this games First Steam Review. *** I love the idea and concept of this game. Sadly, while there is quite a lot of "fun" to be had here, I just feel like this should have been released in "early access". ..It feels like an "early access" game here at launch, and in my opinion it still needs quite a lot of work to be all it can be. https://youtu.be/wNp9Kk5CEt8 Here are the things I feel need the most work, in order of importance: - The combat feels lackluster and just "not fun" at all. This needs to be much more responsive and needs to "feel" a lot better than it currently does. Right now, it just feels cheap and not well done. - The game needs a lot more "searchable" objects for supplies I feel like, instead of just giving you all the items as glowing objects so easily. - The characters needs MUCH more "backstory" and lore, especially if it's going to be promoted as a feature in the store page description. - Some people are likely to not like the graphics and heavy use of assets not "polished" or "pretty" enough for a $14 USD title. I don't have a problem with the graphics at all, but it just needs to be better done as in the first two items I mentione…9 found this helpful
Nice game :)
Those Left Behind, immersing players in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by flesh-eating monsters. Players lead survivors who venture out nightly to scavenge for supplies, aiming to build a safe haven amidst escalating dangers. Pros: - Engaging Survival Mechanics: The game effectively combines base management with scavenging missions, requiring players to balance resource gathering and community building. - Diverse Weaponry: Players can utilize a variety of melee weapons and firearms, including axes, machetes, shotguns, and rifles, allowing for varied combat strategies. - Dynamic Environment: The game features a day-night cycle and weather system, adding layers of strategy as players navigate through different conditions. Cons: - Early Access Limitations: Despite being fully released, the game is presented as an Early Access title, containing rough edges and bugs that may affect gameplay. - Repetitive Gameplay: Some players may find the scavenging missions and combat encounters become repetitive over time, potentially diminishing long-term engagement. - Limited Narrative Depth: While survivors have backstories revealed through journal entries, the overall storyline may lack d…
Pros: This game is genuinely scary and will have you jumping out of your seat a lot. Cons: The main drawback is the interface. You basically have to stand over an object and press 'e' to interact with something. It would be nice to be able pick things up just using the mouse. Also, there's no story to speak of; the challenge is to survive and collect items to build things that help you survive longer. There is no narrative other than that. So, I would recommend this game if you are just looking for a game that has jump scares a plenty and not overly concerned with story.
