The verdict
Survarium was a Stalker-flavored session shooter praised for atmosphere and gunplay, but servers were shut down in 2022. It can't be played now, so skip it.
Great for
Nostalgic fans remembering it; nobody can actually play it now
Main risk
Servers were shut down in 2022, so the game is unplayable and unavailable.
