Got this game when it first came out and it was extremely annoying constantly dying. just tried to check it out again for a second chance and despite following the forums, My game will not work now. it just crashes on startup. tried running as admin, tried verifying files, tried re-installing but nothing. I have no issue running any other game but this game is garbage
Utter garbage killer animals every 20 yards even if you avoid them they will appear and kill you whilst your chopping wood or reading loot contents. Would be fine if you could get a footing. I really hate games that you can only know something after you have died and lost everything you had . Kind of like Valheim with the worse parts on steroids and you have do this in an area that literally will kill you every 20 meters

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.

El juego te obliga a farmear en exceso, al principio no lo notas tanto.. pero cuando empiezas a progresar y quieres seguir haciéndolo se vuelve duro y repetitivo a mas no poder, el juego me gusta mucho pero siempre lo abandono por el mismo sitio.. donde empieza a pedir un farmeo sin sentido que se hace muy muy tedioso.
Previously played 300+ hours, returning player. Reminiscent of legacy Rust and easy to pick up, but with plenty of challenge if you seek it. The lighting graphics and environmental sound design are a big step up from others like Rust and Ark
I blame Willjum and all his well-edited Rust videos for this compulsive Subsistence purchase (it was on sale). It's been a while since I last played Subsistence, but it's all coming back to me: shoot the bow at predators, hop and jump away until they stop chasing, then rinse and repeat. The game is grindy and slow, but Subsistence has so much to offer and so many options. It's fun to play. Nature survival is free therapy. Maybe I will survive my first Subsistence winter—maybe not.
Well..this game it is kinda hard to play if you have a friend like mine which can not understand how to hunt a chicken with a bow and if has a handgun erase the bullets in 1 second on a rock but after all its a cool game, i really want to play with some pro players and learn things faster about this game but hey, is it so cool, tbh i hate winter season because i almost die during the winter but i learned a thing, gathering wood every season and stacking it into a chest may save your life during the cold season, but you still need the minimum of food to survive during the winter, after all i love this game and i hope ill see new updates like community servers or some other things which can make this game a bit easier for rock hunters like my friend. "I swear to got i tought that rock was a chicken and i lost 8 arrows trying to hit that, i died cuz of a bear after trying to get arrows back"...those were his words.
La verdad es que el juego me gusta, sin embargo requiere demasiadas horas de farmeo que a la larga lo vuelven monotono,el contenido es poco, las mejoras hacia cosas que realmente resultan utiles tardan bastante tiempo, así que de momento diria que no vale la pena.
여태 해본 생존게임 중에 최악입니다. 그냥 서양식 배경의 조선메타실록 같은데 조선메타실록보다 조작감도 그렇고 작업한 수고에 비해 효율성 창렬인데다 배만 채우면 되는게 아니라 비타민게이지 따로 있어서 가뭄에 콩나듯 발견되는 과일,채소도 챙겨처먹어야 하고 고기 구워 놔도 반나절도 안가서 상해버리고 파밍좀 하려고 나가면 곰 늑대 어슬렁 거려서 주변 파밍 어렵고 일단 그래픽 개쓰레기에 물에 들어갓다 지상으로 올라올때 경사진면 맵오브젝트가 계단형식으로 다듬어져있는지 걸려서 올라오기 힘들고 이동수단 당연히 없어서 뛰어다녀야 하고 토끼 닭 같은건 원거리 무기 아니면 빨라서 잡지도 못할 뿐더러 시간지나면 음식이 상하는 방식은 현실성 개차반으로 추가돼있고 모닥불에 고기 넣어놓고 오래있으면 타버리는 것까지 구현은 해놨는데 정작 물속에 모닥불 설치가 가능하던데 디테일 해야할 부분에선 뇌빼고 만든 수준입니다. 지런 게임을 2만원 넘는 금엑에 팔고싶을까 3천원에 팔면 할만한 게임인거 같습니다 진짜 절대 사지 않는걸 추천드립니다
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.
jeu intéressant MAIS le problème est le loot ou le farm qui est pour moi, très incompréhensible, tu coupes du bois et tu ne récupères pratiquement rien, donc tu passes ton temps à farmer du bois pour essayer de construire ta base et je ne parle pas de créer de l'équipement dans la base
