    So I've had the game for a few weeks now and I love it. It's something between Minecraft & State of Decay or DayZ. The crafting is becoming better with every update. World generation is not added but planned.

It's something between Minecraft & State of Decay or DayZ. The crafting is becoming better with every update. World generation is not added but planned.

    The first thing everyone notices about this game is the price. But what is early access?

    Early Access is commonly accepted to mean you are paying the developers and funding the game development. You are not "buying" the game but rather helping to further the development and help pay bills.

    So is the price something that should cause you to forget this game?

    Answer: Yes & No. It depends how you think about Early Access. With the description above, I see no room for complaints, you are supporting development with your wallet. As a reward you get the game free when it is released. Since you also get the game early, as in right away, you also can help bug test and report issues to the developers.

    So yes, the money is a high price to pay. Was it worth it? Yes. I would buy a second, third or fourth copy if I had friends/family interested in playing.

    Will this be the next Minecraft craze? It could be, but the price holds it back, the multiplayer in general is a disaster unless you play with friends only.

    Multiplayer is what Minecraft multiplayer would have been if there were not plugins.

    Now, the building in this game can be hard, it is what I had always hoped for in other crafting/building games. The blocks all have physics, which means buildings can fall and crush your face. But as in real life, if you provide the proper supports you wont have a problem.

    The mining in this game leaves much to desire, it's rather slow, and is based on Stamina & Tool damage points, which drain from every hit. Water refills stamina but your tools will require repairing or replacing.

    The good point with mining though, there are not caves to search, you just start digging down and you will start finding ores. Which is great, it's not realistic in anyway but is a improvement over Minecraft's mining in a lot of ways, (which was not realistic either.)

    Overall you have both Multiplayer and Single-player and both are great in there own ways.

    You have many options when starting a game and they can be changed at anytime before starting one of your saves.

    If you don't want to play with giant wasps and hordes of zombies tearing through your walls ready to eat you, you don't have too.

    Play in a war torn landscape as the soul survival or join MP and find other survivors and rebuild civilization.

    Build a giant bunker underground or a giant castle. Build a wall with many traps and defenses surrounding a small town and build a community. It's all up to you and as any role-playing game with unlimited replay-ability it is up to you to find the fun. It's yours for the taking.

    I for one hope to see you soon.

    Cheers,

    Одна из лучших игр про зомби! Даже несмотря на ранний доступ игра уже очень хороша - геймплей довольно интересный, полностью открытые и случайно генерируемые миры с кучей зданий, и каждый может сделать что-то своё. И в отличие от Minecraft тут есть физика блоков и построек. Так что не будет висячих домов. И игра постоянно развивается, продвигается к релизу    … Expand

    If you like fast paced (you set the speed) excitement then this game can be the one you are looking for!

    You can build your own bases, go out scavenging for food or guns and even medical supplies.

    Blood Moon Nights (you can set as often as you like and even make it random with a lot or a little warning, it is up to you).

    Map size can be small to large, that is your choice.
    Lot’s of zombies.
    Mary ways you can build your character to be what you want them to be in this apocalyptic type game.
    Because fun pimps made this game in such a way that people could make mods (free) for it, I do not think this game will ever die because there is a large community of people that make create their own version with special features some can even change the game so much that it feels like your not even playing 7 days to die.

    As for Young Kids: This game has a lot of jump scare for new players. We have even seen some more advanced players scream like little girls at times.

    12 and Under I would say a hard no.
    13+ I would say if dad or mom played with them.

    That being said. I love this game.    … Expand

But half of the fun is just testing what does and does not work against the zombie’s erratic AI. With that being said, this game has it all... survival, crafting, brain smashing and terrifying greatness. The custom game settings allow a great range of replay-ability and variety in each new game. Think you finally have a solid grasp on combat? Think the game got too easy? Well... try to play with a horde every night. Do you just want to build things? There’s a creative mode with the option to turn off zombies. If you want to build hardcore zombie smashers and then test them on ridiculous hordes, well... you’re free to simply change your settings at any time.

    Each new release offers new things. Alpha 16 to 17 was almost a completely new game. New POIs were introduced and nearly every house now has a unique dungeon layout.

    I got this game during the Halloween sale on steam (2017) for $7.50. I recommend you do the same. The $30 asking price is worth it, if you simply can’t wait to delve into this game.    … Expand

    I'm a selective gamer; rare games that attract me thought Alpha "7 days to die" game glowed me for hours to my Laptop without feeling that I'm wasting my time as it gives somehow educational in a way; like how to build a structure while putting building integrity in mind (that's somehow like an engineer do in real life).

    I would give developers 10/10 if not for the new Alpha 9.1 has some back-steps than in Alpha 8.7

    My feedback about Alpha 9.1 as follow till now:
    - Old "Compass/mini Map/Status" view was a lot more effective & efficient than in Alpha 9.1 update view ... that became surprisingly & annoyingly hidden behind belt (Plus can't see Zombies around me in mini map).
    - Backpack got smaller
    - Items got lost sometimes in-game, when reloading game & ammo consumes more than normal for example: one crossbow shot sometimes consumes 2 crossbow bolts.
    - Game still lagging while near zombies specially at night ( not the stun ).
    - While digging underground; graphic fails & find myself on surface or in endless space all around.
    - TNT crafting become very expensive.

    *** Game needs the Dynamic Story Generation ASAP as it feels too lonely & boring without companions & NPCs in Single player

    All that & still I enjoy & continue playing it while waiting for better updates & hopefully the fully release.

    After whopping 10 years spent in Steam’s Early Access, 7 Days to Die still feels unfinished, which makes it quite difficult to evaluate. My reason tells me to tear this game apart for tons of bugs and pretty much non-existent optimization, but my heart wants to give it a high rating. After all, I spent over a hundred hours in it and had fun for most of that time.

    7 Days to Die, in my opinion, is dated in a lot of ways. Some of the mechanics feel unnecessarily tedious, the game doesn’t look incredible, and the engine is undoubtedly on its last legs. In other ways, however, the game is revolutionary, featuring a core mechanic loop that I am shocked no other games have replicated and a surprising amount of player freedom in its gameplay. If nothing else, 7 Days to Die will quickly become the next Stardew Valley or Rogue, inspiring a variety of new games and becoming the forefather of its own genre.
