Early Access Review
Hurtworld is no doubt fun, but the real question is does it stand to its own $24.99 price point, in my opinion it does not. The development team does not keep up with this game enough for it to be worth $24.99 this game was given to me by a friend who had an extra key because it had no Linux support, afterwards I had bought the game for a friend through Humble Bundle [www.humblebundle.com] for $3.60, is the game worth that much? it's worth a little bit more, I'd peg a worth it pricepoint for this game at about $14.99 personally, mainly because it's got very little content and not much end game. It does indeed come with a lot of drama reminescent of Rust and DayZ. You'll make friends as people tend to be more commonly friendly in this game, but the community doesn't define the game itself.
PROS
  • It's got an okay amount of things to do, if you like the grind of building bases which essentially takes a long time.
  • The community isn't exactly toxic, depending on if you joined a public server or not, private servers are definitely better, people tend to trade and commune.
  • The game is extremely small, less then 2GB, that's a pro I guess.
  • It's pretty casual, you build you log off and let your drill do the work.
    CONS
  • Your things can be destroyed while you're offline, something no other game company seems to be able to get right, this one sure didn't assist the matter.
  • Little to no end game, if you aren't satisfied with just building and some side pvp, you won't be satisfied with this game.
  • It's glitchy, don't head hop.
  • The networking on the regular servers can be iffy.
  • Okay, build lines. I'd understand if the totem set down build lines and you would have to stay in there, but these build lines enable people to deconstruct your base, remember when you're building STAY WITHIN THE BUILDLINES, some noob will run up swing a hammer and take the place over if you don't have a totem and building within your lines.
  • This game also gets the time waster trophy, simply because it takes so long to get anything productive done with the chance of being toppled down in days if not hours.
  • Developers don't seem to respect the games timelines and progress, they're attempting to replicate Rust in their own artstyle.
    Overall, I'd recommend this game below or at the $14.99 pricepoint because it's definitely a worth it survival game for that or less, you will be waiting a long time for updates. Overall, don't recommend in its current state.

@focus 0 player base? 492 players online now. More than most mp games that aren't ranked high on the list.

15$ for this game a fair price? No.
I felt robbed for having to pay 3.60$
