I decided to give this another try. It's been over a year since I last played and I figured I would check out the updates....... So the game just keeps crashing after the Unreal logo shows up. :/
for ♥♥♥♥ sake! It`s my first tiem leaving any comment on any game but bro are you mental? the grind in this game is more punishing then rewarding and the fact that you can`t adjust ANY setting even for a singleplayer is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid! Like seriously, why don`t just add a gameplay setting for those of us who doesn`t have 20 hours a day to grind? what is the developer afraid of? not being fair game for the NPC`s? or wolfs?

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.

Hard as hell.....great game
On one side the game is interesting idea, great game if you want to play something "quick", not tooo complicated, just walk out of your base and do what ever you want - hunt, climb, dig, collect, kill or die ... yes, simply die just like that. Simple, funny, suddenly scary when you are doing your best to save your life. But as per my opinion what is KILLING this game and why I stopped playing it is the unrealistic behaviour of the wild animals. It is so disturbing to see almost exactly each 20 m some wolf or bear or wild boar, or sometimes all together - alone like a fence post, 20 m another, left and right the same, like a chessboard, not going far from the spawning point. Is this real animal behaviour? Are really wolves wandering 24/7 somewhere in the meadow sniffing flowers? Accompanied with bears? Sometimes some doe no animal is interested to hunt. What I will do differently? Simple, bring more reality to the game: I will immediatelly cut 80 % of ALL wild animals that are in reality very rare to encounter, but make them more deadly, more clever, more rewarding and add migrating animals that can cross your line unexpectedly. Wolves never hunt alone, but in group, so I will add caverns hidden in forest - and when you will get close to cavern, you will know immediately, that you are not welcome there, they will protect their territory. Like in DayZ, wolves are apearing unexpectedly. When you hear them howl you know you have only 2 options, run for your life OR fight like a hell. Is unrealistic standing 5 m far from wolf and he does not see you? Wolf can see you and start hunting you hundred meters far, Bear can smell you kilometers far away, etc, etc. Prehistoric weapon selection is another topic - only Yagua Blowgun is missing. Just drop there something more interesting, more modern. Make fights with anymals less occuring but more challenging with more planning needed, more rewarding. Because currently as it is is not interesting. Need flesh? No problem, open base door, walk 5 m, shot pooor wolf with a shotgun to the face, take one and only one piece of meet (because from one poor wolf the is no more flesh left), return to base, job done... no thank you. I do not like that....
ただのクソゲーです。 後悔するので買わないほうが良いです
I highly recommend people do not buy this game. I purchased in Feb 2024 and it looked promising with new updates however the game looked bare. At first me and a friend walked round the whole map and there was nothing to do only harvest resources. Then we found animals and a random guy running around with a gun. This was basically the game. It takes real life days to build a base after dying hundreds of times. The game is not fun and will never be fun. The last update was December 2024. They have not posted anything since.
viele andere games dieses genres haben ja schon gezeigt, dass es auch ohne charakter-fähigkeiten klappen kann. dieses game aber leider nicht. eher im gegenteil. vorab sollte jedem, der mit dem game liebäugelt, klar sein, dass es ein unendlicher grind ist, fasern, holz und co. zu organisieren. gut, wäre soweit auch kein problem. aber: keine besseren werkzeuge, keine charakter-skills, die einem das ganze im laufe des spiels einfacher machen würden. und das sorgt irgendwann eher zu einer spass-unterversorgung. es ist demotivierend und hat einfach keinen reiz mehr. es nervt irgendwie nur noch...so würde ich das ganze nicht empfehlen. sollte es doch noch bessere werkzeuge bzw charakter-skills geben, könnte man nochmal darüber reden...
aged graphics. not for me

Save your time and buy RUST. This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Pathetic and the team behind this game is just retarded. The game is not even close to be balanced. You cant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ get anything. I have played this game a good amount and no matter how safe you play the grind is so insane the rewards are too low. The NPC spawns with everything and can just kill you in 1 shot and it makes it really hard as you keep losing your stuff. You get punished for every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing. You even lose items upon death. If you die and its night, you cant make it back to your base without it turning morning. You guys just need to play Rust instead and have a way better experience. This is the most pathetic survival game ever.
