    I'm enjoying it. I'm a bit of a sucker for 32-bit crafting games like this (loved Starbound) so that factors in, and no, it's not redefining the genre but it's straightforward and the monkey aspect is rather innovative and keeps the juggling act entertaining and engaging. Not sure why these hyper critical users are scoring it at 0 and 1, etc. when it's really not bad at all. I haven't runI'm enjoying it.

I was going to rate it at 7 but I feel this overall rating needs help so I gave it an 8... Let us know how YOU like it.… Expand

    We played The Survivalists, because it is a very interactive multiplayer game, with pixelated graphics, good soundtrack and great gameplay, with an open world with several challenges, from wild animals to enemies, which in this case are goblins, to attack them. Online, we are able to explore mines with traps that give us rewards at the end.

    It’s a lot of fun with friends, but it lacks something in single-player. I definitely recommend picking this up if you’re looking for something new to play in co-op or if you want to try out the survival genre in general. However, it lacks some of the satisfaction of other games in the genre. That being said, the monkey system is incredibly cool and the game is almost worth playing for that alone.

    In an industry that has shifted from being “kid-friendly” to “adult-focused,” it’s imperative to remember that some games simply won’t work for the more aged gamers (30 is aged, right?). That’s not to say The Survivalists won’t resonate with adults — if this is your cup of banana smoothie, by all means — but it seems to be trying to speak with a younger audience. If you’re lamenting that school has started and you can’t devote as many hours to Minecraft with friends as you’d like, you’re probably going to love The Survivalists.

    Well, that’s a disappointment: After The Escapists 1+2, we were looking forward to the next game set in the same universe. The Survivalists, however, can’t hold a candle to its predecessors. The gameplay is broken in more ways than we can count, there are plenty of design flaws which makes you wonder how anybody couldn’t have seen how irritating they are and nevertheless, the game is way too short and way too easy. Such a pity.
