The verdict
A Rust/DayZ-style survival shooter with fun gunplay and easy entry, but dead servers, cheaters, harsh AI and a grindy blueprint/repair system hurt it. Skip it if you want solo play or hate grind.
Great for
Players who want an accessible DayZ/Rust-like survival shooter with friends, especially on PvE servers
Main risk
Grindy updates, dead servers and cheaters or unfair bans can make it a running simulator
What changed in the last 30 days
50 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews complain about the grindy blueprint/crafting changes, dead servers, bugs and fatal errors, and bans. Even recent positive reviews note dead servers. Fairly confident.
