Deadside

Dont buy this game if you want to play solo PVE. Developer has nerfed game to such an extent . with every update, its obvious they only cater for PVP players. When game first came out it was reasonably enjoyable to play solo PVE, but thoes days are long gone. Workbenches, which you will need , if you want anything more than a shooter, and intend to build a viable base, another nerf. Originally one workbench for repair,deconstruction and paint, no requires different benches, and far more items to build them.This at the same time loot spawns reduced , so you need far more items, yet less loot. Food and water could be found often , and water bottles where full, now there empty plastic bottles and only way to get food is to hunt or fish, dont rely on hunting , game is too rare, but fishing, although boring does result in a couple of fish, and moving to a new spot if you want more. Weapons also severely nerfed, there where good spots.provided you killed near by enemies ,for good higher tier weapons. that has also been removed from game. Also the decent weapons you could find early on, also now very rare and lots have had power and range reduced. Lets talk about traders, totally pointless for new players as you need to sell at least 5 weapons to be able to buy one can of soda, and ammo is so expensive, that it makes no sense . Basic one tier ammo, you have to buy minimum 100 rounds, works out at $50 a round, yes $5000 . and it only goes up from there up to $140 a round. Also if your the type who likes to grind and thinks well i will just earn enough money by selling stuff to buy what i want, forget it , items are locked behind a reputation wall with trader, and i doubt average player would need less than 40hrs in game to be able to find enough items to sell,to increase to level two rep. which still only gives slightly better weapons, and other items. Blueprints in this game, which is one way most other games like this, enable you to make better items, forget it, in most other games you find blueprint and are then able to make item, not in this game, you need 5 or 10 of the same blueprint, and there randomly scattered all over the map. So as i said game is now a long boring chore and you will need many hours in order to progress. I play both PVE and PVP, but its much easier once you know the game. to get higher tier items in PVP. only downside for new players, is long term players are usually fully loaded with best weapons and armour, which was much easier to come by before game was nerfed, so expect to die a lot.
