    A compelling zombie concept thoroughly ruined by frighteningly horrid execution. [Sept 2016, p.74]

    7 Days to Die is a horrible porting of a game that could be appreciable on PC. The good crafting and building system doesn't justify the horrible combat system, the bad animation and the old style graphic; there are also bugs everywhere. Maybe it could be good for you, but only if you are blind.

    A super-deep zombie survival crafting simulator ruined by a sub-par PC-to-console port effort, resulting in endless bugs and glitches and an ugly game which struggles to run competently.

    Right now, 7 Days To Die is an extremely shoddy release on the PS4. Hardcore fans who love crafting and survival games may find a potential time sink here, but I find it hard to recommend this title to anyone else just looking for a game to occupy themselves with during this summer drought. Don’t Starve is available on PS4. Try that one instead.

    7 Days to Die has resulted in an infamous port from the PC game. It still features some good ideas like crafting or the combat system, but the technical aspect is full of bugs and graphics issues.

    Even three months and numerous patches after release, it’s clear that this project is nowhere near complete.Worse, the developers are clearly prioritizing the more successful PC version over this compromised port job. Console-owning fans of the survival genre may find something to enjoy in 7 Days To Die, but my advice is to steer clear all the same.

    7 Days to Die has a compelling premise, but it withers within minutes. The gameplay here is fundamentally not fun, and having to deal with technical issues every few seconds becomes extremely grating. The multiplayer injects a little entertainment, if only because you'll be observing the release's shoddiness with others.

    When buddied up with three fellow survivors, there’s certainly some fun to be had. However, these moments will usually stem from the hilarious situations you’ll find yourselves in, enhanced by the game’s dumb raft of bugs and glitches.

    7 Days To Die is a retail release of an alpha build of an Early Access game, and a downright scummy thing for Telltale to market as a finished product.

You shoukd expect bugs and problems, if you can get past any problems you encounter, you'll likely enjoy yourself. I've had a blast playing the split screen co-op so far. Also, a common issue with the game is after it installs it might not launch properly, if this happens to you simply disconnect from psn, restart your system, or delete the game and reinstall it.

    I feel I was a little too hard on this game at first. After having some more time with the game, and playing splitscreen with a friend, I canI feel I was a little too hard on this game at first. After having some more time with the game, and playing splitscreen with a friend, I can definitely tell it has potential. If the devs can iron out the bugs, and get the game running at 60 fps (I feel this game needs to be running at 60 frames, given it requires some pretty precise aiming), it will be an amazing game.
