“Dead Poly ripoff, not fun at all. Broken mechanics. Horrible game play. Frustrating experience. Boring game and just buy deadpoly. Its cheaper and wayyy more fun”
“this game is not ready and is just hiding behind the early access tag like so many others. No point in the faction system and no map to pull up. You spend an hour crafting one sleeping bag and it doesnt even spawn you there after you die…”
