Разраб конченый мудак,спустя 10 месяцев затишья добавил в игру обновленные модельки мусора. симулятор сбора древесины и еды . Крайне не рекомендую к покупке, пожалейте свои кровные и свое время. Просто посмотрите видосы на ютубе и все сами поймете.
Bonjour , J'ai acheté ce jeu car le trailer m'avais tapé à l'oeil sincèrement , J'avais lu plusieurs critiques sur celui ci mais comme j'aime bien donner la chance à des bons jeux (potentiel/survival surtout) j'ai préféré faire mon propre avis. Je commence , le jeu est assez simplet d'ailleurs en paramètre et interface , bon oui ok , c'est un jeu Alpha on ne vas pas en faire toute une histoire non plus. Une fois la partie hébergé et lancé je me suis dis :"Wouaw , les graphismes sont magnifique , c'est la première fois que je voyais des graphismes aussi réaliste au niveau de l'eau ou encore des mouvements de prédations , lorsque l'ont se fait massacrer car oui , on passe clairement son temps à mourir. j'ai beaucoup de patience ça ne me dérange absolument pas mais je comprend maintenant pas mal de critiques malheureusement . En 4h de jeu , nous sommes morts environs 30 fois sans finir de fermer une fondation... de 1m2¤ car la construction et l'évolution de ton jeu se base sur des coffres et des sacs totalement aléatoire à travers une énorme carte largué je pense par un avion , oui nous avons aperçu et entendu l'avion en question. Totalement vide , le contenue du jeu manque de pas mal de chose et on tourne vite en rond en perdant le plaisir de jouer. J'ai limite envie de dire que le trailer ne reflète pas le jeu qu'il montre mais bon c'est ce que nous avons ressentie ( 2 joueurs coop , pas de problème pour se rejoindre ou de lag/freez.bug). Je ne pensais même pas que j'aurai pu trouver un jeu encore plus vide que Icaru....un autre survival assez similaire à ce jeu... mais la c'est le pompon , très peu pour nous , notre patience a eu sa dose pour aujourd'hui.....pfiouuuu Je ne regrette pas vraiment d'avoir découvert ce jeu , il a du potentiel et de beau graphisme mais ça ne fait pas tous , un meilleur contenu , un bon rééquilibrage des ennemis et des ressources ramassées serai le bienvenu, de la faunes plus diversifié également ainsi qu'un détachement de la dépendance de petits coffres et sacs à trouvé dans la map pour progresser, des flêches qui nécessite de clou...???? qui sont uniquement disponible dans certains coffre énoncés plus haut ??? Youpi !! Un Loup lvl 1 de 80 pv doit se prendre 3 balles de flingue et un coup de hache si tu n'es pas trucidé avant ...., et cerise sur le gâteaux dès qu'il te bute il gagne un lvl ... ton spawn à 1000m fin bon ça va 1h quoi.... Ressources pire que The Forest ou The Ranch Simulator : un animal 1 peau , 1 tissu , 1 viande...?? euh???30sec sur un caillou = 1 hum mouais compliqué hormis nous avons du temps à perdre dommage surtout en mettant en avant un système intéressant de nutrition du personnage (genre manger 5 fruits et légumes par heure et consommer de la viande pour avoir des protéines pour être en bonne santé). Je met un pouce vers le bas à contre coeur car je me sens trahie par le trailer qui ne représente pas son contenue. Déception... après Icaru... Mais ceci dit je suivrai le développement du contenue et du jeu. Je soutiens les développeurs pour améliorer tous ça et rendre le jeu comme montré sur le trailer et immersif. J'ai décidé de garder quand bien même le jeu et je vous soutiens. J'ai hâte de voir une bonne évolution du jeu ! je vous remercie de m'avoir fais malgré tous découvrir votre jeu, respectueusement à vous. (^.^)_/

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.

Na, been away over a year and the game still has broken physics. Making animals overly resistance to bullet damage is just frustrating, not more difficult. Realism is the only metric by which a survival game like this one can be measured. Bad and inaccurate mechanics render survival preparation and planning moot. Nice graphics.
I'm surprised the game isn't more popular than it is. It's by far one of the best survival games on the market. And I mean a real survival game. The updates over the years have made the game a much better experience as I'm just coming back to it again now. It's still grindy, which is what I want... but you get much more resources now which is making it a much better experience since it almost took a little too long to gather resources prior. Instead of finding one fibre plant to make rope, you'll find a bush with several. So the grind is still there but it's just much more balanced in terms of loot. I see a lot of other games struggle with their AI implementations but this dev has been getting it right. They build their own bases, they fish, they hunt, etc... It's quite unique and enjoyable to have them as a threat. You can set it so they don't attack you unless you attack them first, which is a great option to add for players. In terms of survival mechanics, it's quite vast. You build plant beds for crops, diving tanks to go under water to search for underwater caves for more resources, generators to supply the base with power, fridge, stove, difference types of workbenches depending on what you're building. I honestly think this game should be in every survival game players library.
Primeiramente vamos deixar claro alguns pontos aqui, Subsistence definitivamente não é um jogo pra um jogador normal (casual). Se você é o tipo de pessoa que quer jogar pra passar seu tempo, relaxar, ter a sensação de estar progredindo logo de cara, sinto em lhe informar, você nao vai vingar nesse jogo. A dificuldade em ter que lidar com os recursos escassos, IA apelativa, ambiente hostil (Frio, Sede, Fome, Stamina) tem que ser levado em consideração na hora da compra. Este jogo leva vc a um nível de dopamina e cortisol extremamente altos em um intervalo de tempo muito curto, (exemplo) Uma hora vc encontra uma bela caixa militar, linda , vistosa, pensando que seus dias de azar e miséria chegaram ao fim, pobre gafanhoto/libélula, vc caiu numa trap e com certeza vc morrera logo em seguida para algum predador que foi encarnado pelo Chuck Norris e arrancará sua cabeça com apenas uma mordida! Nao existem missões, Lore, explicação de nada para nada, o jogo te coloca no mapa com uma arma de festim, um machado que vai te dar tétano, e alguns minutos para vc conseguir fazer uma fogueira pra nao morrer de frio a noite, e sim, vc vai morrer de frio se não se aquecer. Ah mas pq eu recomendo o jogo então? A sensação de vc estar na sua base autosuficiente, com todas as armas upadas, conhecer o mapa de cabo a rabo, matar os predadores com 1 tiro, e pra mim a melhor parte, Raidar as bases dos caçadores, Tretar com os Pilotos do avião, descer nas cavernas e ainda conseguir pescar durante a noite, DOMINAR o ambiente ao redor. Isso é gratificante demais. Meu save mais avançado com mais de 300 dias e 84 mortes, posso afirmar que esse jogo de fato separa (homens/mulheres) de (meninos/meninas) Se vc se sente pronto pra conquistar tudo e perder mais rápido ainda. Bem vindo(a) ao Subsofrencia! Persista, vai valer a pena.
Unity Assets, terrible graphics, bad game play progression, this game has everything a survival game should not have. Buy something better.
I think there is a very small number of people working on this but is a good game but stupid hard, enemies hunt you down like crazy, animals when they kill you they heal and level up so they are harder to kill. if you are looking for a real survival challenge then play this. Just so you know you will start the game with some items, you see a lvl 1 animal and think i can kill this, nope he one shots you and is now lvl 2, you go back and try to avoid him but he sees you and chases you and you die again, now he is lvl 3. Hard is an understatement when it comes to this game lol fun but yeah not for anyone looking for a regular survival game.
0.00 stars out of 5 Unless you are an absolute fool, under no circumstances send money to this con artist by buying this game. Today, I lost everything I had on all of the public Multiplayer servers. I had a shack with tons of stuff on West 1 and West 2, everything is gone. I had a shack with tons of stuff on East 1, everything is gone. I had a shack with tons of stuff on Australia 1, everything is gone. I had a shack with tons of stuff on Europe 1 and Europe 2, everything is gone. I had a shack with tons of stuff on UK 1, everything is gone. All of these servers have a stated "DECAY" timer of 7 days , I logged in at 7 days and 4 hours on each one of them. So in just 4 hours over I was wiped out?!!! When I had logged out from my previous play thru on all of them, I had made sure I had a successful logout by telling the game to take me to the main menu. On the previous play thru on all of them, I never logged out by closing the game thru Windows task manager. On the previous play thru on all of them, I never logged out by closing the game thru Steam. On the previous play thru on all of them, I never logged out by the game closing itself because of a daily downtime. On the previous play thru on all of them, I never logged out by the game closing itself because of a game software crash. In my last play thru on all of them, I logged in and did something meaningful (not just log in and log out) like for example water my plants or eat a carrot or feed my chickens/rabbits. Thousands of hours setting up all those servers and now I have nothing.
Developer is an incopetent greedy egoist, he dont want to finish this game just need your money and give a ♥♥♥♥ game for it. You can find a lot way better survival game. This game is a true example how to ruin a game with good base idea.
Hardcore but them damn wolves seem to just spawn out of mid air, I can check my surroundings and poof wolf that kills me in 2 hits can't run away fast enough tried fighting one lol nope fun game just buggy and your gonna die no matter how safe you think it is definitely needs some work......Okay calmer now just be prepared to die.......alot. Hunters with Molotov cocktails, shotguns and pistols......with unlimited ammo along with some damn good aim botting I built half walls on roof and i cant peek them but they shooting straight at me. Bears the good death typically if you die by bear its super fast. But once you start to break into more exploration and base building and learning key points of food and where and what its pretty easy, I only die now because I just run around and don't look for trouble because I know it will find me. Fun solo but a blast with friends. Best death scene is when you get eaten by a cougar/moutain lion lol grabs you by the neck like a kitten and just randomly walks around with your corpse in its mouth. now fix the stupid ai hunters that can shoot you through rocks.... and just make head shots actually kill things 3 arrows to a wolfs head 4 pistol rounds to a wolfs head hardcore part is fun but realistically this game is worth 5 bucks tops you can burn some time but needs alot of work not really worth the 12ish bucks i paid for
