Before - promising sandbox game with a lot of gameplay options and wide array of tricks.Now - developers ruining the game trying to fix corner-cases. Now its impossible to play the game except for the only way you are being railroaded into - stupid zombie grindfest with level-locked skills, which this game sucks at implementing. Unfortunately, developers stubbornly dismiss abundant criticism and plan on keeping those "changes" - just take a look on their forums.Sad.. I'm sure the people who develop this game, worked really hard on the new Alpha 17 update. However, I'm here to tell you that even though they worked so hard, they flopped pretty hard with me and apparently many other. If you decide to get this game or re-download it, try out 17, see if you like it. Then, when you've decided that you want to play the superior version, go ahead and opt into the prior version Alpha 16.17 makes the game look, admittedly, prettier. That's about all it does right though, unfortunately. Skip the ----- if you don't want to read an experience I had that I turned into sort of a lax DnD role play thing.-------------------------------------------------You spawn in this world with nothing but your browning undergarments. You have nice, cool, clean, singular, bottle of water and a can of food. That'll tide you over until you can find something else... probably.You head off in any direction, more than likely straight for any little cottage or building you see. There has to be some goodies in them, right? While you're heading toward a cozy little cottage in the middle of a snow strewn wasteland, you're taking the liberty to punch every bush and rock you see. While occasionally, sifting through piles of trash that seem to litter the ground everywhere. You spot a zombie or two and for you first timers, you may be a little wary. Don't sweat it, give them a wide birth and they'll ignore you entirely.You're coming up to that cottage now, it doesn't look so cozy up close. And for some reason, when you get close, your framerate drops drastically, wonder why that is? (I'll explain later) You start to walk around the building looking for any opening you can get through. Meanwhile, a pesky zombie vulture is pecking the back of your head. Every time you turn around to deck him in the Toucan Sam looking mother f****** face of his, he flies off, only to come back as soon as you turn your head... Oh! You spot a little opening you can get into, cool. You jump up on a trash can and launch yourself into the safety of a completely boarded up cabin. You take a second to look around and you realize that this place is a mess. Broken crap everywhere, old boots lay all over the place, dust, cobwebs, bodies, and... Oh, bodies. Wow, a LOT of bodies. All 6 of these bodies start to stand up even though you haven't made a damn noise. You turn around to go back out, but nope, there's scantily clad nurse zombie who got her ninja zombie cosplay mixed up because she's coming right at you and you didn't hear a damn thing. You take off toward the other zombies weaving in and out, realizing that even though you weren't paying attention to that Muhammad Ali documentary, you've clearly took something away from it.You turn a corner and race upstairs, jumping over a gap in the floorboards. You get upstairs, and zombies are coming out from under dressers and behind doors and what the hell is this house of horrors!? Alls you wanted was some damn pants and maybe a bagel! You race into a room at the end of the hall and you slam the door behind you. Well, screw you, because this game has continuity. Three more zombies were in this one little single suburban size bedroom because of course they are, why not? At least there's an open window. You'll take your chances leaping off the second story and impaling yourself on the white picket fence that Dolores just HAD to have put up one summer. You run to the window and jump.You land on your feet without even bending your knees. That's really bad for them, you know? Toucan Sam has seen better days, he's stuck in the window you first jumped through. Poor thing. You take off running because all 40 of the zombies that were in that 3 bedroom cabin have been ready to leave for awhile, by the state of the place. They decided that your succulent, juicy, naked thighs are the final straw. They're bashing through the front door as you take off up a mountain.After a few minutes of running you turn around as you see the zombie aimlessly stumbling about, not knowing which way is up. You catch your breath and drink your water. You plop down on a rock and dig into your can of store brand baked beans. And, as you're sitting there, with nothing but your underwear, you realize all that you're now completely out of food and water. You have no clothes and you went through that whole ordeal, you have absolutely nothing to show for it. You stand up and head for the next building, to repeat this, ad nauseum.----------------------------------The game gets boring fast when the only thing the developers want you to do is run around and kill zombies. They've changed the whole dynamic of survival building, to kill zombies, loot, next building. The developers have gone out of their way to make sure any base you build can be easily destroyed. Somehow, these zombies with dying brains are more intelligent than a lynch mob of rocket scientists. They go for structural supports, they can detect your heat signatures from quite literally, miles. If you're trying to hide during a blood moon, forget about it. They know where you are. This has always been a thing though, not just A17, but with each update it gets worse. You found a way to stay safe from zombies on a bloodmoon? Best not to post it on the forums or they'll patch it, because screw how you want to play it.The game lags really bad when you're in a building near a group of zombies. Which is every building now. There's no building in this game that doesn't have zombies occupying some sort of space. Zombies on the floor, on the beds, under tables, on top of shelfs, in air ducts, etc. They're everywhere and there's 10 minimum per building. I assume it lags because the new zombie AI and their attempts at pathfinding to you. (1060, 6700k, btw and it didn't lag in the previous update on high. Now it lags on medium-low settings) So, when you're first starting out and you have nothing but your trusty wooden club. It takes you like 15-20 minutes to clear out a small building and that's if you're not interrupted by wondering zombies. If you're unlucky, then you're screwed. Time to make another club to clear out the next building and if you don't have a decent setup before nighttime when the zombies go \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665, you're screwed. You can try just running into buildings, looting a few things while dodging zombies. As a person who has played and beaten Battle Toads solo without cheats, this\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665is hard to do without getting hit, stunned\/infected if you're unlucky, then mauled. There's just too much zombies now and it's not that I don't want there to be zombies or a sense of urgency. I just want to be able to loot buildings without constantly having to kill zombies. Like, get this, a zombie game where killing zombies gets tedious and boring within the first 30 minutes. Does that sound like good game design to you?Anyway, 9\/10.Seriously though, A17 4\/10A16 7\/10. I'm going to give you the best possible review I can so you know if this game is worth your money or not. The short answer, maybe. The long answer, below. In this review, I wall talk about my opinion, the pros and cons, and more.7 Days to die has always been a favorite of mine, mainly for the tower defense feel of the game. I play with friends which amps up the fun, and makes the game a little easier. Let's go over the aspects of the game together.GAMEPLAY - 7\/10In this game, you must loot, hunt, farm, and build to survive. The horde night is a thrill to fight through, and looting is a fun part too, but I recommend you increase the loot values in settings because the default value is so low that you find wood clubs in gun crates. Combat feels very unsatisfying. You can shoot at a deer 10 times straight down the sight of a gun and still end up missing. Zombies can stun you, and beat on you like a punching bag. Zombies are a lot scarier because they play dead before waking up and attacking you out of nowhere. Buildings are filled with around 10-30 zombies, making looting dangerous if not prepared. Overall, gameplay if very unique and has it's strengths and weaknesses. GRAPHICS - 5\/10Graphics are much better looking since to Alpha 17 update released. Textures are better than some AAA games like Fallout 4. Overall, the graphics are a mixed bag and are not ugly, but not pretty.AUDIO - 8\/10One of the strong points of this game would have to be the audio. From floors creaking to fat zombies gurgling, this game is pleasant with headphones. PERFORMANCE - 6\/10This game is badly optimized. Even with graphics at lowest settings, I still fall at 15FPS.DIFFICULTY: HARDThis game does not mess around Even on the easiest modes playing with four people, me and my friends still die constantly. Be careful when doing anything, even going to get water can be dangerous.PROS:- Fun for hours- The horde made me pee myself- Nicely crafted open world with secrets around every cornerCONS:Rarely updatedClunky combatRepetitive after awhileBadly optimizedOVERALL - 7\/10The rating would be much worse if I was talking about Alpha 15. If you like zombie games, sandbox games, or survival games, why not try them all in one package?. enter room .. no one there .. start looting a bag\/closet\/box .. next sec someone hit me from back ... press esc to stop looting .. another hit ... switch to club... another hit ... turn around .. another hit ... you`re dead ... god(devs) create zombies from air in a sec you start looting in EMPTY room ... and that sh.. happening last year or more .. still did not fix that ... i love this game but this bug is frustrating ... and of course zombies are like ninjas .. move silently till they hit you, and then start screaming ... i realize this is a game but put some reality in it for god sake .... Really liked this game until the last update. I've started over many times with friends, and now it seems like a chore. The new leveling system took the fun out of the game.. I tried to enjoy A17 the older leveling system was much more fun and played of how you liked to play but the new leveling system to me is just lazy throwing points into skills instead of earning them gradually its a step backwards not a step forwards, who every thought of a skill point for more inventory slots is just pure lazy. I cant recommend this game until they fix A17 and bring back the old leveling system which is my opinion was superior to this crap they have now.. I have over 700 hours on this game. I loved it. Played from the very beginning. When there was almost no elevation change and very little anything. Then A15 came out. Friggin amazing. This is when a majority of my hours with friends were spent. Building, surviving, trying things out. Sure you hit some dull spots but it was fun. A16 came out and added some cool features. Played more. Then the next one came out, A17. Cool buildings and modeling added but I stop there. Laggy frame rates, one little cabin middle of nowhere, 27 zombies. I gained a friggin ton of levels. But I found, that is basically what it turned into. A grind fest. On top of that, the immense huge world, scalewise, went from giant mountains and forests and terrains that gave you a sense of being in a world to...the scale of the original game. Back like single digit Alpha. I have played maybe 4 hours since A17 came out. I refuse to play this garbage. I am pretty close to uninstalling this. Go back to 16 and add features that are in 17.. I have spent a lot of time in this game, on PC and Xbox prior to the TTG thing. Every time I see something about it, I get a little sad. This game used to be how we wasted our evenings and weekends. Then A17 came along and totally trashed the perk system, and removed any reason to be a builder in this game in a group.We used to divide tasks, and do very well. Now, it seems my character cant learn how to build hardly anything unless I smash a zombies face in. Like how does grinding zombies teach me how to dig a better hole in the ground?Prior to A17, I progressed based of the skills I used in game. It was amazing. My friends were hunters and gatherers, and I built the defenses for the nights. Now I cant build a damn decent wall without going out and killing 100s of zombies. Makes NO sense at all.There was so much great fun with me and my community in the game, until they pushed A17 out, and lost all connection with what their community was enjoying.Do not recommend this game unless its < A17, or they pull their head outta their butts and reconsider the prior skill\/progress system. Makes me sad.
