    It's essentially an early access game that's supposedly now "final" but has been technically out for years in an unfinished state on the PC. Tutorials are non existent. Interface is laughable and... oh just buy Jurassic park or two point hospital instead. pretend this doesn't exist. it's not a fun experience.

    The game has the worst tutorial I’ve come across in a long time. There are a lot things you need to know in order to be successful at the game, and the game tells you almost nothing about any of them. I’ve had to look on Google to find out simple things like for example what some of the icons mean. Things happen in the game and you don’t know why and there’s no explanation, again a GoogleThe game has the worst tutorial I’ve come across in a long time.

Things happen in the game and you don’t know why and there’s no explanation, again a Google search is needed. Why couldn’t they explain all of this in the game? Do they really expect people to have to search for these things online, well clearly they do and it’s extremely lazy of them to do that. I can’t rate the game more than a 2 as it is, I’m finding it a chore to learn all of these mechanics the game should explain them to me not Google.… Expand

    It works, has not froze on me and runs slightly below average on the PS4. At a whopping 5 GB, at version 1.03, the game is just not fun. One would hope it is, but one should only find frustration, as the game asks if you would like tutorial hints, then goes away after ten minutes. The game needs far more speed time adjustments, as I would call this game surviving the epic waiting. Cannot recommend

    There’s a lot to like about Surviving the Aftermath and I became genuinely invested in the continued existence of my survivors, fighting and struggling with all I had to get them through the many hardships of living in a post-apocalyptic world. It’s unfortunate that I was constantly forced to return to exploring the turn based world map, rather than having fun building stuff. Also, if you do decide to pick up Surviving the Aftermath, it's probably best to go for the PC version to avoid the contradictory brain-melting console controls.
