about 9 years in early access, no don't waste your money. It could be a really good game, but they have taken the money they made from sales and not bothered giving back. The game has moments but it just isn't worth the hassle, I've come back to it a few times, never really feels like there's much difference. Plenty of other games out there that do waaaaay more and get updated more often.
Love this game. Yes it's very grindy and there's a steep learning curve making it fairly hard to get into, but once you get the hang of it, it's great fun. The survival, crafting and combat mechanics are all really well done imo, and there's plenty of advanced crafting to work towards, but like I said it does get very grindy which I personally don't mind. I love the survival genre and this is defo one of my faves. Runs really well and looks good too.

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.

Wer lust hat den ganzen Tag Fasern zu suchen für den ist das genau das Richtige. Wird schnell langweilig
game is complete ♥♥♥♥. very unhappy about the time spent playing this sorry ass game that I'll never get back.
Subsistence begeistert mich mit seiner enormen Herausforderung, nur mit einer Axt und einer schwachen Pistole "bewaffnet", in der Wildnis mein kümmerliches Dasein zu fristen. Hierfür reicht es nicht, sich nur auf Lootkisten zu verlassen. Wer sich nicht um eine "ausgewogene" Ernährung kümmert und im Eiltempo durch die Wälder flitzt, stirbt schnell. Aber auch wenn die körperliche Verfassung im grünen Bereich ist, der Wolf und der Bär sind immer in der Nähe. In diesem Spiel geht es nur in kleinen Schritten voran, aber irgendwann hast du deine Basis, du schaust neben deinen angelegten Gemüsebeeten von der Terrasse aufs Wasser mit der Angel in der Hand und lächelst in dem Wissen was du alles überstanden hast. Aber es gibt ein neues Problem -die Jäger und Banditen-, und du brauchst Ressourcen die es nur in Höhlen gibt, in denen weitere Überraschungen auf dich warten. Mein Tipp; Spiele 5 - 10 Stunden auf leicht, dann auf normal. Ist schwer, aber du wirst es schaffen.
Started playing this game a few weeks ago ( 1-2026 ). Playing on easy mode to get the hang of it and its still a challenge with the gathering of food and carbs. Love this game in so many ways.....NO F-N ZOMBIES for starters. You Devs out there that continue to stick em in your games.....F_N MORANS come up with something else for a change. I think that this game has so much potential and I hope it gets continued attention and for me it has a great balance of things: base building, hunting, fishing, combat( no battlefield by any means but that's not needed) crafting.....So PLEASE keep it up cuz I think you're doing a pretty good job. I definitely recommend playing this game.
Was ein Mistspiel. Auf keine art und weise ausgewogen. Alle fünf Meter ein Bär oder Wolf aber keine Kleintiere zum essen. Hirnloser Schwachsinn. Bekommt das endlich in den Griff. Man kommt nicht mehr an die Leiche usw. Andere Spiele machen das um Welten besser. Nach drei Jahren hat sich NICHTS verbessert. Wird gleich wieder deinstalliert. Kauft das Spiel blos nicht - reine Zeitverschwendung.
У меня только один вопрос... Как - это, говно, все-ещё живёт ?
The game is not super polished and can be a bit grindy and unforgiving until you get the hang of things, but overall its still very fun, especially with other players. Well worth the $10 and it was receiving constant updates while I played it.
it is a good game but it keep on disconecting wen we playe multiplayer please tje what the problem is
