Zibbs - Alien Survival

The Good: looks nice, a more entertaining take on the "all your bars are always depleting" sort of survival game premise than many, humorous interactions with the very few npcs, nighttime light source is just your own glowing skin, some genuine laugh out loud moments from the stretching abilities and physics. The Bad: can't fight back when attacked, can't gather materials from the environment, can't shelter from weather conditions, can't use most of your abilities more than a few times before running out of energy, energy doesn't replenish so you have to take a nap every couple of minutes, opaque gathering and crafting system has no relation to the environment explored, standard "all your bars are always depleting" approach, starve to death in a couple minutes, very limited environment, rain kills you, sunlight kills you, using any of your stretching abilities kills you, rare materials gathered disappear from inventory randomly. Overall, it probably depends if you like those ark-rust-valheim kinds of meter watching games or not. Personally, I'm a bit tired of them, but the alien that just crash-landed is a more entertaining premise for one than most, and the ability to stretch a…

Gameplay - 6/10 Story - 1/10 World Design - 5/10 Repay Value - 3/10 Art Design 4/10 ---------- Synopsis: You are an alien that has crashed in the mountains. Your ship is trashed and your end-goal is to get the resources to rebuild it. ---------- Cons: The graphics are quite limited and there is no background music to take the edge off. The first few hours are about feeling your way out and trying to figure out how to do thing. The tutorial is near non-existent as it wants you to go to a secondary site. So you will largely be playing blind. You may be wondering for hours just trying to find the resources to stabilize yourself in the beginning. The ending is rather unremarkable, basically once you have the resources and feel like applying them your ship takes off and that's that. Yay, you are winner. End game. ------------ Pros: The above cons become strength - this is one of those games that really roughs it out, but once everything clicks overcoming that phase becomes very rewarding. The lack of background music makes the low bird whistles in the background and rustling trees come alive - really emphasizing the notion you are caught in the mountains somewhere. G…

The price isn't the issue. i Love the skill leveling and how simple and funny the game is. My issue is i cant get past the beginning. I cant meditate and cant get resources either so progress is stopped early on. if you tweak it so that meditation works or take it out of the game it could make this a whole alot better.i will change my review after i can play more.

Game is very good, must have this christmas

Update: Good run on the survival spin as an alien. Had fun, yet I dont see myself building another UFO to escape earth. Still, refreshing survival without getting to complicated. ===================== This little gem sucks you in. I'm having fun with the trial and error of being a little green man on earth. The help section can be a little overwhelming, but they have links to youtube videos that demonstrates what you're reading. Wish it had coop or multiplayer.

keep's kicking you out but i do like the concept
