Yeah it IS buggy, but c'mon, the game is in ALPHA, when people will understand that Alpha = Bug/glitch. The game is being developed by 4 people, so, if you are looking for an AAA game, go somewhere else… Expand

   Amazing !

   Seriously half the people including myself initially don't understand this game. Anyone who claims there isn't enough crafting is wrong , as after 55 days in im still finding cool stuff from a secret evil church to a full on glider. It's not minecraft but once you finish it you'll get that mode which is cool. Or the horde mode that's crazy. Because its not Ark it actually works and works well which means it's a scary horror story which has two endgames based on choices.
   
   The optimisation isn't great and there's a few glitches but nothing bad considering how much is going on.
   The music is none existent outside of musical tapes but the sound is terrifying ..truly scary.
   The gameplay is high mearning curve and finickity at times bur plenty of options.
   Lastability is months or years as every time you play its different with random starts and locations and new updates. No microtransactions at all.
   
   The combat isnt destiny but its brutal and fast with awesome weapons.
   Overall the attention to detail is spectacular with many stories told through the environment as much as the lore through collectibles.
   The multiplayer is a little buggy but amazing fun and an entirely different experience.
   So i'd say buy it as it's cheap and play it and dont give up.
   Use your second device as a game support tool as there are interactive map apps. And the wiki is cool though don't spoil many of the brilliant secrets and surprises.
   
   I've played games for 20 plus years on all formats and across every genre and i was amazed to find it is one of the best game experiences i've every played and beyond value for money. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed.… Expand

It was scary to experience every night. But the games have problems and disadvantages. One of which is a small variety. The first days everything happens very quickly, but later everything abruptly becomes a routine and the game becomes very boring.… Expand

The first few nights are spent desperately scavenging materials for tools with which to build, hunt, and defend yourself; construction (or discovery) of emergency shelters is required to be able to sleep or save the game, and doing all this while trying to stay out of sight of the roving cannibals is a wonderfully tense and even strategic experience.
   
   After about a week on the island, you should be well enough equipped to actually take on two or three cannibals in a fight if need be, and begin descending into the island's many cave systems which are dense with more powerful mobs but also peppered with more powerful tools. You start feeling capable of tackling the challenges both above and underground.
   
   After two weeks on the island, the surface will have gradually become populated exclusively by 12-foot mutants and Dr. Manhattan clones, who can all outrun you like you were standing still and two-shot you once they catch up. Attempting combat is complete suicide, and most of the weaponry you've spent your time building up is now effectively worthless, save your precious limited supply of explosives. Any base you may have built on the surface won't be worth attempting to return to as you are forced underground into a winding array of tunnel mazes, fumbling around in constant near-zero-light conditions as your sole feasible means of egress. God help you if you haven't yet found all the most important equipment by this point.
   
   It's also still fairly buggy.
   
   In short it has a strong start, but a lategame that I could only recommend to a C.H.U.D.… Expand

   33 hours on record, worst game that I have played to date. The gameplay is awful, and it is a sorry excuse for a horror game.
