    Great concept and intentions. Poor execution and Interface. Not the best survival game available. Only for fans of the survival games.

    7 Days to Die has a lot to offer for the zombie genre but hides beneath glitches, bugs and bad graphics.

    7 Days to Die features a very interesting mix of role playing games and survival games mechanics, with customization possibilities and multiplayer features deepening the experience considerably. Sadly, everything is damaged by the horrible interface and menu system, a sub-par presentation, some serious technical issues and a general lack of focus.

    It's an enormous game, but a bit of a shambles. [Sept 2016, p.103]

    A frustrating and flawed experience that could have been great. It will be interesting to see how the game is updated and whether the developer's can capitalise on the potential that 7 Days To Die offers, but unfortunately doesn't deliver on.

    The console version of 7 Days to Die has many issues, poor graphics and a bad user interface. Crafting and building defense are not supported by a purpose, and this makes difficult to be patient and take full advantage of all available resources.

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.
