buenas noches: he estado jugando a este juego hace varios años,al principio me encanto y me colgue con el juego, pero al principio se podia avanzar mas rapido, crear cosas mas rapido, pero lo que veia era que el enemigo avanza a pasos agigantados , mientras yo tengo que ir a full y no se llega a tener lo que los enemigos tienen en pocos dias, despues empece a ver que el juego te va matando de a poco,te quita de la mochila cosas importantes desde las balas, municiones, en fin te quita de todo un poco cuando moris,luego veo que el creador no se molesta mucho por no decir nada en que el juego avance, desde que estoy jugando vi dos o ttes actualizaciobes y nada mas,siempre siempre lo mismo, ahora el creador lo ha hecho mas dificil crear cosas elementales que antes se creaban mucho mas rapido, veo que el creador del juego no se molesta en hacer mas nada, creo el juego,no dejo de reconocer que tiene buenos graficos y las estaciones y doias y noches, pero no le hizo mas nada, el juego te va matando de a poco, no te da respiro a recuperarte, yo les digo a mis amigos que no les recomiendo este juego,no lo recomiendo absolutamente, se lo digo yo que vengo jugando hace años y vi el proceso del juego, esta estancado el juego, he ido a las cavernas y de la nada me han aparecido con mis amigos enemigos como transportados de otra dimension, o los vas atacar a los enemigo y de repente desaparecen, y eso te juega en contra porque es un juego que hay que estr muy atento, simplement eso, no les recomiendo este juego,ojala que este juego tenga un giro de 360 grados y el creador se ponga las pilas y haga un verdadero juego en la cual, los enemigos vayan avanzando al igual que el jugador o la persona que esta jugando, que se ponga las pilas y actualice cosas que valgan la pena . y de esta manera motive jugarlo, desde ya gracias por su atencion.... Saludos Cordiales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

After all those years this is not getting any better.
I gotta be honest this game is grindy and I dont mind. But for the love of god why is infection the most miserable ♥♥♥♥ put on top of the rest of the grind this game has. It should not persist death. Why would I want to lose the hp I have gained from living so long just to save time from fishing and diving.
Die Spielbalance stimmt nicht. Tage sind mit ca. 30 Min. zu kurz, 45 Min. wären realistischer. Tiere sollten bei Verletzung langsamer werden und nicht gleichschnell bleiben, auch der Charakter verblutet unbehandelt. Ein ausgebautes Windrad schafft es bei Wind nicht den Kühlschrank zu betreiben?. Es sollte doch wohl auch einen Stromspeicher füllen können. Ein Mensch stirbt nicht an zwei nahrungslosen Tagen. Früchte sind real auch länger haltbar. Es stimmt so einiges nicht an der Balance.
As much as I hate to say this but this game is not worth your time/money. The resource system is complete rubbish. The amount of resources to craft anything is mind numbing high. Enemies are better than you in every way both animals and hunters. Food is extremely hard to balance when getting meat if so frustrating. There are better survival out there that. Also its STILL in early access/alpha. Don't waste your money.
its got a horrible early game. if you like getting 1 shotted by animals everywhere while taking 20 minutes of harvesting resources just to only build 1 foundation, then this trash is right up your alley. this game is a scam created in 2016. look at the positive reviews made with chatgpt, im not joking. DO NOT FALL FOR SCAMS
Ridiculously difficult starting experience. Makes you wonder how many players don't make it past day 1 of trying this game. You can spend 2 hours, multiple deaths, and still not even have a basic structure built. You need to be able to have the ability to defend yourself against predators at the beginning, just avoiding them isn't fun. You should also have the ability to build a very basic survival structure without having to hunt crates for an hour to find enough nails for a foundation and one wall.
For those that dont know, Coldgames is actually a solo dev; that being said, it is in EA however the disclaimer clearly states its an ongoing project and EA is used to develop it further; no better feedback than from your players. Ive been following and playing this game on and off since its inclusion. My best wishes to coldplay and whatever is going on that has him on extended hiatus, and hope that he can pick up the updates once more someday. The game is meant to be difficult, your not suppose to thrive, its called subsistence for a reason. You will either love this game or you wont, and for those that do, they will tell you its one of the best survival games made. Its immersive and yea challenging. The game will kill you in the first few minutes of game start if your not paying attention. So for what it is? Give it a chance. Once you have power generation the game does get a tad easier.
Ran around. Got eaten by a bear in the first 10 seconds. Discovered the handgun in my inventory. Shot a wolf in the head with eight 9mm rounds. Got eaten by the wolf anyway. Requested refund.
need a lot of work done not a very fun experience as of now
