You’re dropped into a harsh environment with almost nothing – not even clothes on your back. Through scavenging, crafting, and hunting, you’ll eventually put together the basic items you’ll need to live. You’ll have to deal with cold, heat, hunger and thirst, and there are wild animals that see you as prey. But that’s not the worst, because you’re not alone — the undead wander all around you. Slow and relatively easy to avoid by day, at night they become merciless, fast-moving killers, hungry for your flesh.… Expand

    7 Days to Die is a lo-fi, budget survival-horror sandbox that surprisingly breathes some new life into the tired zombie template. It’s a powerful example of how a game, even when executed without the technical wizardry of big AAA publishers, can become a canvas for your own personal stories. It’s arrestingly compelling and, in the right hands, infinitely replayable. It’s a diamond in the zombie-infested rough.

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

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

    7 Days to Die is a horrible porting of a game that could be appreciable on PC. The good crafting and building system doesn't justify the horrible combat system, the bad animation and the old style graphic; there are also bugs everywhere. Maybe it could be good for you, but only if you are blind.

    Right now, 7 Days To Die is an extremely shoddy release on the PS4. Hardcore fans who love crafting and survival games may find a potential time sink here, but I find it hard to recommend this title to anyone else just looking for a game to occupy themselves with during this summer drought. Don’t Starve is available on PS4. Try that one instead.

    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.

    7 Days To Die is a retail release of an alpha build of an Early Access game, and a downright scummy thing for Telltale to market as a finished product.

I have watched a couple of videos of this game on YouTube and I would have to say that this game looks pretty good even though the game might not be as good as other Zombie games that has parkour like Dying Light but the fact is 7 Days to Die is pretty impressive. I am also very skeptical because I have played a little of Minecraft but not much it to be totally invested in it but this game just might appeal to my taste a lot better than Minecraft. Definitely going to try this game out this evening when I get home from work. Can't wait!!… Expand

The combat and graphics are very lacklustre but in all honesty thats just not what this game is about. It does fit into that minecraft niche where graphics and combat are second to being able to interact and use everything you can see.
    While the pricetag is very steep for what you get, I know already that this is a game i'm going to keep coming back too. My advice is to watch a few gameplay clips so you know what kind of interface your dealing with and if your still keen take the plunge, you might just be pleasantly surprised.
    Splitscreen is great fun defending against the weekly hordes, I just hope a few major updates are included in the price not just DLC/bug fixes, too my knowledge we're not promised anything beyond the base game.    … Expand

A little surprised by the negative scores so I'll try to beOk, so I've got 65 days in so I thought I would stop and write a review for this. A little surprised by the negative scores so I'll try to be as objective as I can with this. Preloaded the game, stayed up till midnight to play it, had some major issues, which was to be expected I guess. Reinstalled later, major issues resolved. Picked Clyde for my character, experienced some minor issues, deleted that save, started with Lee. Been great so far. Some slight polygon tearing here and there, but no game breakers. My girlfriend and I play split screen survival. I'll say this, if you are expecting to be blown away by graphics, don't. The primitive look is what makes the depth possible. Expect sort of a low budget ps3 type look to it, no big deal unless you are a graphics snob. As far as the game goes we are continually impressed at how much ha dot have gone into this, and its hella fun once you get up and going. You can expect to die. A lot. Set it up to where you only lose your tool belt to start, save yourself some headache. The frame rate stutters a bit, when the RAM is being taxed, but again.. not a game breaker. As far as bugs go, with the report system being pretty efficient I would imagine this game will be running smooth in a few months. In essence, its deep and fun. We haven't been able to put it down. You get it cheaper and are essentially helping test the game in this stage. Right now its a solid 6, later on could be a 7- 8 depending on what all they add. Add half a point for fun factor. Worth checking out, just don't make any plans for awhile.… Expand

    There was an ad about colon cancer which popped up just before I wrote this review.
    That should pretty much sum up this Ps4 port.

    That should pretty much sum up this Ps4 port.

    The game mechanics aren't bad themselves but I don't think the game should be available for purchase in its current ps4 state. Lighting is extremely screwed at the moment with shadows being so overbearing that you can barely make out the zombies. Melee combat and hitboxes are a bit of a joke. 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
