    I really liked the idea for this game but it wasn't implemented well and the game was released in an unfinished state. Moreover, the company behind did some very dishonest moves and tried to censorship justified criticism of this game. I strongly encourage you to not support this game.

    This game is everything I wish I could be. The gameplay is sooooo captivating. And the characters, unforgettable! Anyone who doesn't love Garry, is just jealous of him. So there are a few bugs. MEH, the bugs just makes the gameplay more unique and entertaining. All in all a fantastic game. 10/10

    Better than the crap some AAA developers make. This game made me realize how harsh one's life would be if we were to be in Garry's shoes. *sigh*

    I have to give it a decent rating, since it doesn't gouge its players. Fair is fair, and I know it isn't polished, but it at least functions

    When looking at the worst games of Metacritic when Warcraft 3: Reforged started to race for that spot, I have found this piece of ... garbage? I don't want to give it 10 points, unlike certain angry people. But some asked how can I give it a higher score than 0. Here it is.

    The game offers some "its soo bad, that its good" type entertainment value, so it deserves a few points, but not your money. It might offer 2 hours of fun, just like a "rather bad" 5 points movie.

    This game didn't kill a perfectly working classic (unlike Warcraft III Reforged).
    Some amateurs tried to create a game, and as they promised it to some customers they have tried to finish, but it is an unfinished, unpolished game, but at least an honest attempt to fulfill promises.

    No cashgrab lootboxes, etc. So an honestly bad (and with hat hilarious) game that can offer a few hours of fun.    … Expand

    A Game Full of promess and exciting trailers that never delivered !

    Day one may be attracting to try at first for its Survival Genre ,
    crafting system, Far cry Like environment and uncharted action !
    But then you will discover the sad but truth reality wich is
    that this game is nothing more than a cash out.

NO! This is a game that with much more work, could have potentially been pretty good, but as it stands, it is a buggy piece of rubbish that tries very hard to be something more than it is. It has all of the base elements needed to make a good survival game, but nothing more, no further effort was put in past that point. That alongside the massive amount of game breaking bugs, horrible controls, and developers who's heads are stuck pretty damn far up their own asses, forces me to say I cannot in any honesty recommend this game to anyone. I don't think it deserves the current 1.4 that it has on user score, but I'd say about a 3 or 4 is rather deserving for this title.… Expand

    Possibly some potential here but bugs, clunky controls and terrible voice acting get in the way. Also, why in this day and age we can't adjust brightness or assign controls to any mouse button is beyond me.

    Do not play this game. It's a total disaster. I'm warning you. Don't even think of it. No. Stop it. Dude, don't. Get out of here now before the game gets you. Kill the game before it lays eggs.

    The concept is good but that's pretty much where the positives end. Graphics are below poor and painfully poorly optimised running shoddily on a beast of a machine. Combat is cumbersome and unengaging, the layout of the environment is pretty dull and the storytelling in the game such as it is, is lackluster. I will however give the crafting system some credit as it's interesting enough.The concept is good but that's pretty much where the positives end.

    Then comes the bugs. This game is, at times, game-BREAKINGLY buggy. Collision boxes don't match textures (or even exist in some cases), the ai will freeze up randomly, your health bar doesn't seem to match up to, well, anything and the list goes on. Most inexcusably (in my opinion) is save points don't seem to remember the world correctly. Things that should be dead are suddenly alive and vice versa. My inventory seemed to be the only thing immune to this.
    Overall, I would avoid the game unless a lot of work goes into bug fixes. Even then the basic execution of the game will be below par but balanced against that is the fact it's not a AAA title. You'd have to REALLY REALLY want a "survival" game to forgive this game its myriad faults though (and I mean REALLY)    … Expand

    The developers of this game disgust me. They advertised an in-game contest for Steam currency on their Steam page days after the contest had ended. The game is impossible to enjoy because of the terrible taste left in your mouth from those rapscallions.

    It still sucks, but it doesnt suck as much as some of the current suck. All controversy with TB aside this game is just bad. I've recently picked it up because of a different currently ongoing controversy, just to see it. It's bad. It's not good. But it's better than the unplayable Drek and lies that it's up against

    i just saw the survival title, bought it and couldn't expect the game can be that bad. You can die just jumping near the wall on the plain sight. You can't skip cut scenes which developer maybe thought it was his masterpiece. It should be a long way testing before this game can be even shown to people.

Not even 5 minutes into it i had reload my auto save 5 times. That's a reload a minute. The bugs included escape from a temple and I got stuck in a wall and gather panther meat only for the body of the panther to vanish when I killed it. The problems are everything that made this game sound appealing. Lets first look at the settings. There are none. You cannot adjust the screen resolution or the graphic settings in the game. Now I got it from Steam so maybe it's just hat version but in the opening cut scene it looked cutting edge for 1998. My computer can run just about everything on full settings but this looked like crap. At one point Gary grabs a bottle of whiskey with sound effects of liquid in the bottle but it looks empty. In a later cut scene after getting this plasma canon wrist bang thing it was gone. As was his flask that he was supposed to always have had. Okay crafting. Every time you craft you have to play a mini game. Push D hold A etc. It SOUNDS nice but over all it is just there to pad the game time. Even picking up items. You don't Push E you HOLD E. Why? Just Why? Running through a village that doesn't care if you take stuff you have to HOLD E to pick it up. Oh and killing a squawking parrot didn't stop the parrot from continuing his annoying squawking. It was dead. Nothing to get from it the Squawking continued. Okay good parts of this game. There really isn't any. I could only muster an hour before giving up completely and loading up Minecraft. I would have rated this lower but the game loaded and has potential. If they don't fix the bugs or anything else I will rate this lower so I am going to give it some time. Final score 2/10.… Expand

    This is the most bugged release game i have ever seen. You can't complete quests, stuff disappear from your inventory. it's visually terrible, the voice acting is terrible and so on.
    It's just worth buying if you want to have 30 minutes of laugh at that concentrate of mediocrity

    Its obvious the guy waned to create an experience comparable to the far cry revival but its just to much of an undertaking for him and whatever team he had. And of course everything that's happened lately with TB and Nerd3 is just ridiculous so yeah. do not buy this game please its just not right in any respect.

    This is a game that could've have been good, or at least average, if it remained in development to iron-out all the bugs. I'm not even going to bother writing a full review. Every I would've said is stated in my summary below.

    In summary: The game is a total piece of [insert object of your choice].

    One of the worst games I have ever had the displeasure of playing. Buggy AI, glitched graphics, and it is obvious the developers pushed this out the door prematurely. It ranks with that special place inhabited by games like Aliens: Colonial Marines which is actually a better game than Day One. An absolute sham.

    Absolutely worse than Ride to Hell: Retribution, at least RTH was playable, and did not had whiney devs, instead of Day One, which is completely unplayable and with childish devs who will censor your comments if you don't like it.

    I simply have no words to describe it, not even a single word apart of ruining 2013: The year in gaming history of bad games.

    Unfinished and buggy game, very lacking in features, shouldn't be anywhere near release. Despicable developers who have both cheated the kickstarter to get funding and filed false takedown claims to attempt to silence negative criticism. Avoid like the plague.

    This is easily one of the most broken games I've ever attempted to play. There's really not much to say other than stay away from this game. Also, the lead developer doesn't believe in freedom of the press and deserves the slamming this game is taking.

    Gamers are getting SICK of these half finished products and we are taking a stand now. (Looking at you Rome 2)

    This looked like promising game, but I was expecting too much...
    It wasn't unplayable, but still very broken.

    The amount of bugs and glitches was overwhelming.
    Invisible objects, invisible enemies, glitching objects and enemies+much more...
    There were no way to adjust the graphics(which were bad)

    If majority of the bugs are not fixed, this is and will be a BAD game.

    Its bad. It has a nice concept but the boring gameplay, ugly environments, laughable AI and all the bugs and glitches in this game don't make it worth a buy. Its disappointing and doesn't even feel like it was bug tested at all.

    I got this game, I actually did, honest. I'd been following it since Kickstarter and it sounded like a cool idea. I found it to be, well, terrible. I mostly was going to just keep that opinion to myself, but after the idiocy that they have pulled to keep negative reviews from the public eye, I figure I ought to add my voice so people know.

    No element of Day One appears stable, polished or functional. Avoid the big green "Add to Cart" button lest you suffer an incident of your own. [December 2013, p.82]
