    Оптимизация тут конечно... Отбивает всякое желание играть)) ФПС-то нормальный, но всё равно выглядит как кусок Г, греющий видеокарту непонятно от чего и чем.

    The game looks like one of those games where it steals your money as a startup game unlike the bible I like corinthians in the bible :angry emoji:

    Im gonna be honest. If this games released in 2004 on ps2 it would be very good game. Unlikely its released in 2016.

    This is a big let down. They have left this behind in order to work out and polish it for a future release. With this game not getting updated it will stay in its disheveled state. A big reason why I tried this game was to play with a friend but it felt pretty bad for me.

    awful graphics. bad controls. doesn't let you play only co-op. Im always open to playing new games but this is a waste of $30.

    This game shouldn’t be €40 when it’s clearly unfinished, untested and not fun at all to play. There are better survival games that look better than this game and some you don’t even have to pay for.

    This game is bad!! On ps4 at least, poor Controls, the map sucks, giving coordinates to find your team mate, just give me an icon! I get its survival but that's just tedious. It's clearly made for PC with no adaptions made for ps4.

    Update - Still not looking good for any chance to update this aging game. It is NOT worth full price, half price, or quarter price. It was OK to play when it was the PS+ giveaway, but got old fast.    … Expand

    Great concpet terrible execution. I wish time would be put into development before slapping some unfinished game down. Also it runs horribly on PS4 on my PC I average 70-80 even with High Specs. There is potential in the game. However it's up to the developers to reach that standing.

    This is a great co-op player game and even includes couch-co-op! Game-play is fun, zombies are fun, and traversing a rather large world is a blast with friends.

    That is.. if you can get past the core issues of the game.

    Who knows the future of this game after the shut down of Tell Tale Games (the porters of the console versions).

    If you haven't played 7 Days to Die I do not recommend starting here on the consoles. The PC version is better, though still plagued by issues, its to a much lesser degree.    … Expand

    Ok I bought this game in Nov 2016 on PS4. After 1 and a half year playing the game & watching carefully the companies behind the game, I felt the need to express my thoughts.

    Well folks, it's bad, really bad. And the main reason is the non existent optimization of the game for the console. Telltale Publishing & Iron Galaxy should be really ashamed of calling themselves game company.    Ok I bought this game in Nov 2016 on PS4. After 1 and a half year playing the game & watching carefully the companies behind the game, I felt the need to express my thoughts.

    Well folks, it's bad, really bad. And the main reason is the non existent optimization of the game for the console. Telltale Publishing & Iron Galaxy should be really ashamed of calling themselves game company. Cause at this point, it's not a game, it's still a early draft of a game. But there is an explanation for this : the PC version of the game is still in early access (after 5 years of dev). But the console version is marketed as a full & finished game. IT IS NOT!

    It's a game in alpha state, with tons of bugs, lags, crashes and more. The AI 15 years late, the frame-rate vary between 10 to 25 fps, the UI & graphics will hurt your eyes, there is no end game or story or whatever that motive you to keep playing. You just build base, wait for it to be destroyed by zombie horde, rebuilt it, wait for the next wave, and it keep going over and over. There no lore, no story, no secret.

    The game also seriously suffer from a lack of content. Telltale & Iron Galaxy don't even bother anymore to bring the same content the PC version has. They do not communicate anymore about the future of the game. And the way they speak to the console community is unacceptable. They blame the players for having consoles that "aren't powerful enough to support a good experience, or the same content as the Pc version" (sic).
    Well you know what? I'm not the one who tried to port the game on console and sell it as a finished product, Telltale & IG are! If they saw during the early test that the game will not be playable correctly on consoles, they should not have port the game. It's that simple ! Also be aware that, on the PSN there are no screenshots or actual in game video of the game. The store page shows only a live action trailer which does not describe the game as it is.

    Also I need to talk to you about multiplayer : it's broken. The splitscreen feat is unplayable cause it's so laggy and the online multiplayer only support 4 players on the same room with a lot of freeze, input lag and disconnections. And when people ask about dedicated servers the answer from Telltale & IG is that "it will be to expensive". But there is dedicated server on PC ! And more, on some games the players pay to have their own dedicated servers (battlefield, cod, and more) so it will not be THAT expensive.

    There is good ideas and mechanics in this game and more to come, but it will surely be dropped out by The Fun Pimps (creators of the PC version) who mainly survive on the mod community. For the console version, it has obviously been abandoned by Telltale & IG months ago...
    People **** about Sean Murray on No man's sky, but Hello Games have done more in 1 year to improve No man's Sky than Iron Galaxy did on 7 days to die in 2 & half years !

    So to conclude this rant, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ! I made the mistake to give money to companies that are obvious cash grabber, so please do not make the same mistake ! And If somehow, you are reading this and work at Telltale Publishing or Iron Galaxy, please, if you have at least a small amount of honor, leave the game industry... forever !    … Expand

    Seriously, this game is absolutely terrible on PS4/Xbox... play it on PC, you won't regret it. The controls aren't made for consoles and it really shows. Got it to play with friends who only have consoles and I just can't suffer playing it with them. I'm not a PC elitist, it's just specifically this game that I can't get behind on consoles. Don't do it unless you get a really good sale price!

    Literally unplayable, not worth a dollar.
    Constant framerate issues, below 25 FPS at all times I would say, lame graphics, lame gameplay, lame everything, I can't even say if the game is good or not due to the poor framerate causing me motion sickness.

Lag, very noticeable popup, can't destroy your blocks and buildings. If there is a major discount I would recommend it. For the current full price it really is a rip off.    … Expand

    There's potential here for a much greater game than advertised. However, it's lost behind a lot of issues; namely the fact the game is just not finished. It's like a functional alpha build you would field to game testers rather than something you could actually feel good about selling. My best advice is to ignore it for a year and come back with a few friends to give it a go.

    Lots of good ideas and interesting features but is poorly implimented and is possibly the worst game in terms of performance that I have ever played. The constant glitches and frame rate drops completely ruin the experience. Avoid at all costs

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Xbox One) The premise of the game is good and that's what attracted me to it. The wonky combat, glitchy zombies, technical issues, tedious UI, graphics and frame rate issues just totally ruined it for me. By day 14 I could no longer ignore the fact that this game was more frustrating than fun. I couldn't defend myself on the highest game play level against zombies because of the ridiculous combat mechanic coupled with the game freezing momentarily each time I desperately needed a head shot -or -walking off a platform in my base straight into the horde below because the frame rate drops to 0 as I'm moving forward to line up a shot. Why even put the effort into digging trenches and building massive spike walls when most of the frantic zombies just glitch spin right over your defenses during horde attacks? The game has real potential but the execution is abysmal. This is half a game and was not ready for full release on console.… Expand

    7 Days to Die previously needed a lot of work. It is now in a playable and downright fun state, with a strong crafting and scavenging element that often makes sense and keeps immersion in the survival setting. Zombies become more dangerous as time goes on, but so does the player, as long as they balance their survival with scavenging for better equipment and learning new skills, and 7 Days to Die does a better job staving off the difficulty plateau many survival games eventually succumb to. Following updates, the gameplay is sturdy and solid, built off of an already fun foundation.

    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.
