    Unturned is a one of those DayZ inspired games with the community calling it "A DayZ + Minecraft Style game" which we hardly get nowadays. It contains some bits of RUST style building mechanics, and the graphics are AMAZING when placed on the highest level of detail. And the best part, it's free.
    The game is a must try, and while it's still on early access, there's more stuff to come into it.

    Being a mix of dayz and minecraft in a cartoon-ish way and that is free to play makes this game very interesting in a beginning and for me it really promises. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose.

    GREATE GAME
    It is very fun to play unturned with a friend or in multyplayer.
    it is like one of those games when u create your own story by playing it.
    I first heard about it when a friend told me to play and when i openned the .exe a new world of zombie survival game type apeared.
    My favorite game.

    Unturned is about you becoming a survivor in the zombie infested ruins of society, and teaming up with your friends to remain among the living. Or to put it shortly, a free to play zombie survival game!

    Now before I tell you about the game itself, let me tell you a bit about the developer, this game is developed by a guy named Nelson Sexton, who made the game when he was only just 16(he's 18 now), these days he's adding new content into the game at least once a week, and he's listening to the community and making ideas become a reality to get this game out of early access, there's also a $5 DLC and I'm thinking of getting it, just to support him a little.

    Now I really like this game because it's fun and simple, graphics and game-play are like a combination of Dayz and Minecraft, joining servers is as easy and fun as ever! If I get tired of that I can play some singleplayer too. There are tons of food, weapons, clothes, and even cars and trucks too to keep the game interesting.

    There is a problem though, more than likely most of the fun will come from playing multiplayer, it's either kill or be killed, survive or die. If you're not good or even an average player, you'll likely die or get killed, and it isn't a lot of fun when you keep dying and losing all your stuff.

    But in the end, it's a free zombie survival game that's a lot of fun to play! 8/10

    This game is very good, some people say that is a rip-off of dayz and minecraft, but no, it's like saying, there is a book with a blue cover, there is other and is a rip-off, dayZ is focused more in real horror and is more realistic, unturned mixes fun and realism + horror, one of the most funny things is that a random booster skill can make anything fly like he was punched by 300 THIS ISThis game is very good, some people say that is a rip-off of dayz and minecraft, but no, it's like saying, there is a book with a blue cover, there is other and is a rip-off, dayZ is focused more in real horror and is more realistic, unturned mixes fun and realism + horror, one of the most funny things is that a random booster skill can make anything fly like he was punched by 300 THIS IS SPARTA people, seriously the zombies even go trough walls, both, 3.0 and 2.0 versions are great, but in the 3.0 it have pros and cons

    Pros of 3.0 against 2.0
    -It's better optimized
    -Workshop Support
    -Better Graphics
    -Custom Maps
    -More zombies
    -More Drops
    -Better crafting (it now shows what you can do with the things you have and what you need)
    -Constant updates with a low quantity of MB used
    -Better Backpack
    -More ways to make your character fancy

    Cons of 3.0 against 2.0:
    -Some items are removed
    -Poor drops
    -Underpriced skills
    -Constant updates, making almost impossible to play without updating every day (this is a con and a pro, pro because adds minimum 5 things, con because they days)
    -Sometimes Unstable

    So yeah, this game is underrated in the user scores, i mean, the guy who made this game is a 16 year old canadian, Can this guy make a AAA 10/10 100% Optimized game? I bet those who give a low score to make a game you alone and have the lead of it, the canadian guy doesn't have a special team, if he had it would be better, but still is good, so, try to make a AAA 10/10 game you alone, yes, those who have a negative score, stupids

    9/10 Would Play again

    Lets face it, it's like Minecraft that meets Roblox but with guns and vehicles.

    Unturned was created by a 16 year old, but then his Dev team brought it to life; oddly enough it runs great (I get an average 180 FPS in city and 280 out of city), graphics are on pair with other similar art style games, and it has a variety of weapons.

    If you have a mid/low end PC, you can probably run this game without a problem. The only issues that the game currently has is that; sometimes the game will freeze for a few seconds, some zombies run faster than your sprint bar (why have this bar in the first place?), and lastly, you can't make a keybind unusable. Every key needs a keybind, so making the option to have that certain keybind have an empty space would be very useful since most of the keybinds listed aren't really needed in order to play.

    Since the game is Free To Play, they do kinda trick you into buying the "Permanent Gold Upgrade" if you want features like premium servers, expanded character customization, exclusive cosmetics/skins and a few little things in settings/options (but mostly it's a way to support the game if you wanted to give them money).

    Other than these minor issues, Unturned is actually pretty decent. It's a great game if you want to waste an hour or so.

    Unturned is a fantastic mix between DayZ and Minecraft, which wonderfully displays difficulty of survival. The game is intensely challenging, with hard to kill zombies and lack of supplies.

The game is intensely challenging, with hard to kill zombies and lack of supplies. During my first few times playing, I kept dying. Soon enough I realised it wasn't the best idea to walk right into towns and try to scavenge and steal cars. The game forces you to be patient with how you survive, but sometimes pushes on the boundary of unfairness, with sometimes quite a significant lack in food and water supplies, and a crazy amount of weaponry. Managing to get a sufficient amount of supplies and still surviving feels great because of the real challenge it is to do it. The one thing the single player game doesn't have is a long lasting effect. Once you have a car and a large amount of supplies, there isn't really much left to do, this is why I would recommend playing on your own server with a friend and fight off the undead and survive together. For a free, early build game, it is one of the best. Survival gives you a massive sense of achievement and the whole game itself is presented beautifully. Expand

    Could have been much better. Game-play is uninspired, as it is clearly a copy and paste of a more successful survival game, DayZ.

    It's free.

    ...that's about it. You can buy the dlc to 'support' the creator and get some bonuses, but yeah it's basically a 'stylized' (lazily made) zombie survival.

    And the zombies aren't a threat. The only real threat is hunger(You can grow plants or hunt). If you have a base, players aren't a threat.

    This is just my opinion, but it doesn't really have any replay value for me(But I will check it out again when there is a new update)
    I've played Rust and DayZ. I like survival games. But I don't find this one challenging. It also doesn't have alot of items/content.

    I still had a good time playing "Unturned"

    I'm still giving this game a good rating, because its made by a 16-year old, its f2p and it is still in Early Access.
    This game has alot of potential.

    Again: This is just my opinion. You should really try this game. Its worth it.

    There's no point in the game, quite literally, like you just go around, find stuff, and then use that stuff to shoot zombies, and i said FIND because crafting in this game is pointless as you can already find god-tier loot in specific locations, not to mention the braindead AI.

    The UI is buggy, doesn't works and looks pretty bad too, the game in general is pretty f-ing broken, sometimes you can't connect to a server, sometimes the game freezes or crashes for absolutely no reason, which gives me Goat Simulator vibes, although Goat Simulator compared to this is actually a decent game which unlike Unturned is actually fun to play for like 30 minutes or so.

    Speaking of Multiplayer, well, it is god-awful, most of these servers are /kit p2w VIP 10$ garbage inhabited by Kids, Trolls, and people that TOTALLY had sexual relations with your mother, not even joking. Most of the time you just wander around a city that has WAY TOO MUCH good valuable items for a zombie apocalypse, only to get sniped by a 13 year old """pro""" that was sitting in a concrete box in the middle of the sky only to scream with their squeaky voices about how much of a noob you are.

    Combat mechanics are somewhat decent here, you can modify your guns however you like although it's still pointless when you can die from like two 5.56 shots + bleeding.

    This game also has ALMOST no story, no OST and TERRIBLE performance as a bonus, which seriously looks like someone rushed this game only to get those sweet sweet Gold Edition donations on steam by kids that watched a Youtube gameplay of it, and they say that Cortex Command is a unfinished game. Don't bother playing this piece of crap.

You spawn with a golden suit and glasses, you get more and better loot, and a few other character customization perks. They will add a lot more, so be patient with the game devs. They have a huge plan for November with a ton of updates coming. AI's will be able to jump through windows, which includes timberwolves, deer, and zombies. A contender for one of my favorite games. Expand

    Die Grafik ist wohl keinesfalls als beeindruckend zu bezeichnen. Aber der Stil passt zum Spiel und alles wirkt stimmig. In bedrohlichen lagen wie zb Vollmond spürt man die Bedrohung auch und auch sonst fühlt man sich gut in die Welt hineinversetzt. Grafikfehler kommen äußerst selten vor aber das Spiel ist in der 1st Person etwas Animationenarm. In der 3rd Person gibt es zwar etwas mehr zu sehen aber auch das ist nicht übermäßig anschaulich. Die doch wenigen Polygonen fallen hier und da, va bei der Fauna auf, stören aber nicht übermäßig. Wasser und Himmel schauen je nach Einstellung durchaus gut aus. Insgesamt:

    (Animation: 4)
    (Grafik: 7)
    (Gesamt: 5,5)

    2. Sound
    Zombies klingen ganz gut und auch die Schusswaffen hören sich durchaus sehr eindrucksvoll an. Allerdings hört es da fast schon auf. Sounds für schlagen von Metall auf Metall existieren nicht, Geräte wie die Motorsäge klingen eher dürftig und auch die Lautstärke für schleichen lässt sich nicht hören. Das die Motorsäge genauso laut wie eine Axt ist ist eher belustigend. Insgesamt wirkt die soundatmosphäre aber stimmig.

    (Atmosphäre 8)
    (Spieleinbindung 6)
    (Musik 7)
    (Gesamt 7)

    3. Umfang
    Das Spiel hat keine Story. Trotzdem kommt durch das Bauen ein großer Teil Motivation hinzu. Lange Spaß kann man aber nur in Multiplayer mit Freunden oder fremden. Ansonsten wird das Spiel nach einigen Stunden eintönig, für ein kostenloses Spiel bietet es aber doch viel Umfang. Der Umfang an Inhalten im Spiel hingegen ist für ein F2P Spiel aber nahezu unglaublich. Eine Menge an Verschiedenen Gegenständen sorgen für eine große Vielfalt.

    (Motivationsdauer: 7)
    (Spielinhalt: 9)
    (Gesamt: 8 )

    4. Weiteres
    Bauphysik: Das Bauen geht leicht von der Hand und ist recht intuitiv. Zwar gibt es nicht so viele Objekte zu bauen, die die es gibt funktionieren aber alle gut. Insgesamt ein komplett zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis
