Even on easy this game is ridiculous. Harvesting thousands of fiber is not run. The fishing is so unbelievably unsatisfying and having to create bait every time is just the worst.
Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt eher nein zu einem Kauf, Wölfe können einen auch beim Schwimmen töten, den Zeitverlauf kann man leider nicht einstellen genauso wenig kann man den Verlauf wie oft man was essen muss oder die Verfallsrate einstellen. Man muss permanent für Nahrung sorgen. Wölfe und Bären lassen ignorieren andere Beute, Sie warten lieber auf dich

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

as you can see, i only have 12 mins on my record because everytime i launch it, it just crashed right away and i'm pass the due date to refund this game. so yeah, no. at least for now. I've tried many ways, many tips to make this work on my PC (it's a pretty high end pc, so yeah, my PC is way up the minimum recommendation). After all that, it still doesn't work. Even if it does. a good game shouldn't have the player to do those meticulous chores just to launch the game. But yeah, still waiting, Until they fix this issue.
i realise is only new but an hour in real life to craft the basics is abit much billlions of trees but can only gather fiber from certain bushes then you have to have a tonne to build anything. need alot of nails but cant find hem in world unless they are in the crates with no option to build them. Animals kill you out of nowhere then level up everytime. Cant build basic weapons from stone or sticks sorry but is a hit and miss for me requested a refund
game is unplayable with an xbox controller. keeps switching and screwing with my button layout. then would no longer let me try to save a layout. never had a problem with other games.
Running around for 4.5 hours looking for cotton trying to build a bed avoiding wolves and bears every 15 meter. You have to make sure you are at your base before nightfall otherwise you die fom the cold but nope there are bears and wolves at your doorstep while the bear kills you in one hit. Why over complicate a survival game, 0 fun . Get Icarus, its far more superior
So far had the game for a long while doesn’t seem worth it solo dev or not there are a lot more games out there by solo devs and they’ve done a better job on their games even in early access. You have to get 4x as much resources than any other game I have played.. do better and add the console commands for solo players at least but noooooo this game should just stop before they make it worse and no one wants to touch it…
うーん、超絶シビアでテンポの悪いゲーム展開でも楽しめるマゾヒスト向けとしか言いようがないかも。 最初は別にそんなこと思ってなかったけど、ある程度ゲームを進めたところで手に入る銃火器系がね……多分7DTDとかRUSTとかやった方がいいですよ。弾丸が1発単位で貴重なのは萎える……というか各種素材を集めるのもランダムで配置される箱からのルートしかほぼないのもちょっとね…… ゲームの構成自体はいいんだけどなあ。サンドボックス設定とか追加したら化けそうなのに。
AVOID DO NOT BUY, the game has about 2 hours of content turned into 100+ for dumb reasons. The first few hours is running around trying not to get 1 shot, freeze to death at night, or starve looking crates. The only way to get the supplies you need early game is crates. Not logging, mining, etc. Its looting crates. Bases are exceptionally expensive to craft, want a 3x3? Thats 2 hours of looting box's for nails. Want 1 shotgun shell? you need 6 casings and 15 gunpowder 10/10 do not recommend, will be refunding. The game is an inch deep. If the dev's read this, you really need to play your game. You can claim "Hardcore survival", and sure, having to avoid getting 1 shot while you hunt for 50 crates, and randomly respawn 1km-2km away when you die loosing what you looted is hardcore. But its not the "fun" hardcore, its the "my game lacks content, so i moved the slider bar to make it harder". If the early game "intro" where updated and changed, this might change my view, but im not spending $14 on a game this bad. Refunded at a little under 2h.
game is absolute garbage cant find half the parts you need for a base seems empty and just awful wish i could get my money back but its been in my library too long dont waste your money anyone that says its a great game is probably a.i.
