How to Survive

Запомни, Ковак твой бро....или нет?

"How to Survive," developed by Eko Software and published by 505 Games, is a top-down action-adventure game that immerses players in a zombie-infested archipelago. Released in 2013 for various platforms, including Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and later for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as the "Storm Warning Edition," the game offers a blend of survival mechanics and crafting elements. The game's narrative begins with the protagonist being shipwrecked on a remote island, forcing them to navigate a hostile environment teeming with zombies and other threats. Players must manage basic survival needs such as hunger, thirst, and fatigue while combating the undead and other hazards. The inclusion of a "Survival Guide" adds a unique touch, providing players with essential tips and recipes to aid in their survival journey. One of the standout features of "How to Survive" is its extensive crafting system. Players can combine over 100 different items to create a wide array of weapons and tools, ranging from basic spears to more advanced firearms and explosives. This crafting mechanic encourages experimentation and strategic planning, as players must decide the most effective tools for various situations. The game offers both single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing for cooperative play with friends. The "Storm Warning Edition" further enhances the experience by adding new content, including additional challenges and characters. The introduction of a third-person perspective in the "Third Person Standalone" version provides a more immersive experience, allowing players to engage with the environment and enemies from a closer viewpoint. Despite its strengths, "How to Survive" is not without its criticisms. Some players have noted issues with the game's pacing, particularly in the early stages where resource scarcity can lead to frustrating gameplay. Additionally, while the crafting system is robust, the game's combat mechanics have been described as basic, lacking the depth found in other survival titles. In conclusion, "How to Survive" offers a compelling survival experience with its detailed crafting system and engaging gameplay. While it may not reach the heights of some of its genre counterparts, it provides a solid foundation for players seeking a challenging and immersive survival adventure. Its unique blend of mechanics and cooperative play make it a noteworthy title for fans of the genre. Rating: 7/10

Can't turn off friendly fire. Developer made fun of someone asking for this feature. Never buying anything from this developer again.

It's very good game of zombies

KOVAC IS A GOOD GUY!! HES JUST MISUNDERSTOOD!!! HES A GOOD GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% recommend i love this game

Very bad game. Boring, buggy, pointless. Better skip it.

I like a lot of this game. But the game becomes incredibly annoying later on. Combat is very shallow and becomes repetitive as zombie waves get bigger The longer you play the more annoying it is. The damage feedback and the stun locking on the player character is awful. The final showdown on the beach is so cheap that after almost 8 hours I was like. I'm done. It could have been a sun little game but ultimately buckles under it's annoying padding. Sad to say I can't recommend it. Hopefully part 2 is better.

Fun little diversion of a zombie game. Play this one not the sequel its just a grind with no story.
