Road to Eden

The developer ( one man project) seems to be more interested in creating another EARLY ACCESS game which is pretty much a sequel to this EARLY ACCESS game. Those who are tired of the endless EARLY ACCESS products on the Steam store will already recognise that this game will eventually be abandoned in favour of the upcoming EARLY ACCESS title that will eventually replace this one. It is a 1 person project, upkeeping 2 games is twice the workload of bugfixing, adding quality of life improvements and feature implementation. Already the offical Discord for this title is getting flooded by the developer of news, videos and screenshots about the upcoming EARLY ACCESS title. Suggesting that people should again spend money on an EARLY ACCESS project while the current one isnt even close to finished. I'm highly skeptical about this this game ever being finished as I am extremely exhausted by plague of early access titles on the Steam store. -- rant over. Yes the game itself is great, lots of gameplay done in a unique way however it is more fun with friends as getting through dungeons can be very difficult all alone. There's quests with unlockable areas that give you access to some more gameplay, excellent weapons, armor and even vehicles that offer interesting customizations. I got this game because of my friends knowing that I'd love the game, and they were right I love the game a lot but it as it is an alpha it does remain a love & hate relationship due to bugs, missing elements and user quality. Gameplay is excellent ! What I absolutely hate are the sounds. Or at least lack of sound settings, the game has fun background noises that sets the athemosphere of the game but it gets very old and staright up annoying after a while. The main problem is that you can not turn them off and you cannot lower the volume of anything. everything is either 100% on blast or its one single checkbox to turn off THAT BLOODY JET NOISE that goes by every so often. Bonus, the checkbox always indicates CHECKED when you return to the menu and it will ALWAYS BE ON when you retsrt the game. So the amount of complaints I have about the sound in this game is very popular with my friends and its frustrating to either mute it all in windows ( not a good idea if you want to know if a zombie is destroying your outer walls ) or its deal with the sounds of the game in all its ugly glory. Major pain in the butt. Bugs, every alpha has bugs and this game has a lot of them. Vehicles are outright dangerous, getting in one and getting sent into space and eventual death for no aparant reason is no exception. In multiplayer it gets even more dangerous. And the list goes on and on which is why I rant so hard about this 1 developer thinking he has enough time to fix this game and develop the otehr at the same time. ( will work for a few months and he'll mark the end of this title soon after. You'll see. OR bug fixes happen once a year while the other game gets full attention. ) I can say more but it would be too much to read... I love the game and if it had 100% of this developers attention I would have reccomended it to even more people out there but unfortunatly this looks like yet another future abandonware or FOR-EVER-ALPHA just like many others out there. Great potential but [b]yet another let down by developers inability to finish something before starting something new.[/b]

I had to refund the game. The devs should state that although solo play is listed, it is unplayable in it's current state. Absolutely unplayable. Constant freezes, stutters and lag that is so bad, i honestly didn't know it was possible. I spoke with the dev twice and he insisted that there was nothing wrong with solo play and I am the only person to have or ever have this issue. It took me less than ten minutes on their own discord and youtube and forums to find a most people have the same issue. While I was chatting with the dev, two people chimed in to say they had the same problem :/ Just trying to log into the game can take as many as 8 tries. Watch anyones attempt at a playthrough on solo play. YIKES. I was told to play on an official server. Problem is, there is only one official server and it is a test server only, based in the EU. The ping is so high for us in NA you end up with the same issues. I was then told I had to play on dedicated server only and then I wouldn't have the same problems. I would not have an issue with the game if it was actually listed as an online only, dedicated server only game. I appreciate the dev speaking to me, but he offered no solution other than to say sorry the game doesn't work, it's your fault. Give me some things to try at least man. The official forums/discord offered not a single thing to try. I did get of lot of "that sucks bro". Super helpful. I really wanted to play and like this game as it is right up my alley but honestly they didn't seem to care one way or another. I have never in 30 years of gameplay seen a game so terribly optimized. There is a reason there are only 8 people playing this https://steamcharts.com/app/929060 It's like the game is just being made for a small group of friends to play on their own server. Should honestly be taken off of the store page until they change the game modes or fix it. UPDATE: I checked back in today on forums (steam) and their discord. Nothing changed or fixed yet. The few people that are left playing the game are having the same issues. I would avoid this game until they fix the total gamebreaking problems in the game. i7 8600k/SSD/32 gigs ram/ 1080 GPU.

My guild leader said that he found a gem. We have played most survival games there is. Iv been amazed playing Road to eden, its in alpha but is more finished then alot of games in beta! Content in alpha is usual non existent, in this game there are so much to do! there are POI´s,tunnels, caves, some you need to do in the right order to get access to, have you ever seen that in an alpha? The map is developed with lots of roads,houses,woods The game has alot of puzzles that you need to figure out to get to new areas and lootspots It has a working weather system with rain,mist and day of night it has many different types of animals , infected , bosses and more iv played alot of miscreated and thou thats about finished this is better even in alpha The crafting has a twist, you need to find books for recepies and until you have looted or crafted some resources they are black in the recepie, i had a recepie i just couldnt figure out what i was missing, the icon was just a black line leaning to the right... until i looted a rebar, then it lit up, have you ever seen such deaph in a alpha? Iv played about 40h and been to perhaps 30% of the map Base building exists and works And the the looting.... i love it, i havent found a single house you cant go into and open all furniture and loot! And the best part, the dev is LISTENING! He talks to us, he listens and ask questions and tweaks Iv played so many games that we quit because the devs had god complex ;) BTW NEVER LISTEN TO THE WHINING KIDS WITH LESS THEN 2H IN A GAME!! CO-OP ROX IN THIS GAME!

How can i start this review .... i own most survival/crafting games and ive left them for one reason or another .... either they were not very good or there were cheaters who spoiled the games and the devs do nothing about it.this game is different i have 311 hours logged as i write this review although it is single or multiplayer i have only tried single and it ticks all my boxes .... the crafting and base-building is very good and the enemies are great.ok it is early access but the Devs are very involved and the community on Discord are wonderful and helpfull.one more thing the graphics are great and at over 300 hours i have only just scratched the surface and looks like ill be logging another 300+ hours at least.best survival game i have played and i recomend this to anyone.i have never wrote a review before but i felt this game was worthy of one.anyway i cant sit here writing all day i have some crafting and survival to do :)

the game looked promising to me, having 2K hours into 7dtd i was looking for a new addiction but sadly this game isnt it for me. I'm all into crafting, building, exploring survival and so on but this game needs a lot of work in order to be fun to me The beginning is difficult and the quests are a bit of a mess that need structure (make it logic so you can focus on building a small place to stay and create storage, food & water supplies etc) The quests are there now but idk, it didnt work for me... i died because of food/water issues or because OP aliens (even tho i had decent weapons but 7 aliens + & spitter in a starting area building is a bit too much to make it enjoyable for me) i think this game has potential and i might look at it again someday..who knows? but for now..not my thing

Dont buy Dev sucks at fixing games has not updates game in a very long time.. and has started to make another game but most of us well never buy because he has left this game in state that you cant play it..

******************************************************************************* * PRODUCT ABANDONED AND INCOMPLETE AS DEVELOPER CREATES ANOTHER PRODUCT * ******************************************************************************* Last game update - 16th June 2022. Last developer post on OWN forum - 19th Dec 2022 Last active post on RTE game forum - 27th March 2024 Last game played - RTE Worlds Testplay 27th March 2024 BIG UPDATE: I know I am guaranteed to attain some repercussion for writing this but I am doing so to protect the rest of the Steam community from the situation I was placed in. Firstly I want to say look at the discussions of the game's forum and people's comments about the game's production, then the news/updates of roadmap and progress of the games development (note the year of the last posts up). From there look at the lack of responses from the developer to the community and the sense that this product has just died in the water. After that, and what I am about to post, take note of the suppression of freedom of speech, being allowed opinionated comments regarding what you're actually witnessing as they unfold and the in-justification of penalising someone for comments that should not be bannable. Some time ago, over 10 months but under 2 years (as my comments were deleted by a moderator or the developer so I can't pinpoint the exact month/year) I made two comments on the game forum, which I have had my Steam Profile come up with, 'Your profile is being forced private due to an active Community Ban on your account.' The terms of the ban was 2 of the following reasons that I will paste word for word. 1) You have been banned from Road to Eden Community Hub You have been banned from Road to Eden Community Hub by a Road to Eden developer for your post in "Update?": Originally posted by Zouking™: Road to Eden is not abandoned. I just wanted to quote this... I already said my piece back on the 13th of June.. but its nice just to remind.... Ban Reason: (blank) 2) You have been banned from RTE worlds Community Hub You have been banned from RTE worlds Community Hub by a RTE worlds developer for your post in "Road To Eden": i've already put this on ignore and blacklisted it... gut burnt with road to eden by this guy already. Ban Reason: (blank) I have not only had my profile be banned from writing anything on that forum but the ENTIRE of Steam. I can't post on other game discussion pages, I cannot write anything on any other forum thread, including the Steam Community page where I would have asked what steps I could take to resolve this. I have literally had a full account block on doing anything like that. Purely for stating those comments above. I have contacted Steam Support regarding the bans and their response was to basically pour gasoline over myself, run into the fire and contact the developer's moderation staff - the exact people who thought those 2 comments were bannable - on their mercy to persuade these exact people with reasons to remove a ban that technically should not have been placed there in the first place. Especially since I'm not the only one who voiced the games abandonment. So if I contact the support team, what then? who's to say they won't extend the ban or, heaven forbid, make the penalty worse because I confronted them on this unjustified decision? The fact that this was initially just another developer who just lost interest in his project, this has now turned into something where either the developer or their moderation staff has the power to actually severely damage someone's Steam account just because their ego became fragile with a comment they didn't like. I'd half expect if I said something like, "I hate the game" I could quite easily have received this exact ban just on that remark. I am 48 years old and I not only see any logic with the moderators severe response based by the comment, the ridiculous range of power they have to destroy someone's account based on something that is literally so small and the emmense restrictions they have to be able to not only ban you from their forum (which should have been the case) but the power to make this ban go across EVERYTHING - even past their forum's boundary. If you purchase this game or post in its forums, just know that you are taking an insanely risky gamble with your entire steam account if you say something that ruffles one of the above mentioned parties. I am writing this because I do not want other Steam community members to relive my experience. ************************************************************************** * I SUGGEST AVOIDING THIS TITLE AND SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SOMETHING ELSE * **************************************************************************

This is "7 Days to Die" younger, dumber brother. The interface and combat are super clunky. I had a couple friends try hard to play (I'd rented a server for everyone) and they just couldn't continue. It was like it had been made by someone whose knowledge of game interfaces stopped some time in the early or mid 1990's. At the time we were playing, we looked at other servers and found that our group had tripled the player population . If I had to describe the game in three words, "Clunky A.F." After playing for a bunch of hours, I've not changed my opinions but the crafting system is the best thing about it. I like it though it is very very very slow to do things like make stone walls etc.

Not one to write reviews for games. played most survival games i can get my hands on that offer open world survival and good crafting mechanics and options. After about 80 hours in hosting a private co-op server after joining an amazing discord community that have vast amounts of guides and information as well as many people ready to help at anytime, including a VERY dedicated developer and his team. This game is absolutely amazing, few years into development still early access and few things to iron out. I do backups of my server and game often and can roll back without issue and continue with minimal loss. The developer works so hard on introducing more and more content. The crafting and tactics of your base builds are endless, game balancing and physics needs more work but doesn't spoil the experience for me at all. So many points of interest to explore as long as you go prepared. Looking forward to seeing what this developer and his team have installed in the future for this survival title.
