The verdict
A brutally realistic Amazon survival game with deep systems, a good story and great co-op. It punishes newcomers with a steep learning curve, clunky UI, constant nutrition upkeep and co-op and save bugs.
Great for
Hardcore survival fans who enjoy learning by dying, plus co-op groups of friends
Main risk
Overwhelming difficulty, clunky UI and constant upkeep, plus lost saves and co-op bugs
