BEWARE! English is NOT my native language !!!

Tbh, Rebirth had an bloody start - The community (including me) forced the dev to release that game.... But nothing works perfectly, we got heavy issues and everything felt it doesn't work right. At the end, this title got a ton of negative reviews from the community and Youtubers, too.

But the developers decided to work on this title and released one small patch after another - and it's not easy for such an small developer - especially if you have near 0 feedback.

At the end, Rebirth 0.7 was released, added 2 new game modes and fixed a lot of gamebreaking bugs and issues. Finally, they released an Demo, too - so it's free to test for everyone.

Here are some cons in my opinion:

- Animations and Character models should have a higher quality. But I know it's a small studio, and custom HQ models are really expensive !
- The Zombie bite function is something you have to deal with (it's also called the "Versus" mode). But if you get into the game, it's easy to avoid it. Currently, 95% of the time I don't run into it.
- The map of the main MMO game needs a lot of work, too. But I know the devs planned to rework the whole map - so it looks much more "believable" and it will be much more optimized. Currently, I deal with 19-23 FPS on this map - in other game modes I run with 60+ FPS !

Pros:

- If you know how the combat works, it's fun to kill some zombies :)
- The two PVP modes are fun .... Laughed hard some times :P
- The Loading Art screen looks beautiful !
- Developers working hard to get everything right.
- A lot of updates the last couple of weeks (so a lot of support)

Conclusion:

This game ISN'T for everyone, so please, feel free to try the Demo first (available on Steam for FREE!!!) and decide if it's your type of game or not.

Creatures Inc. is an open world survival game released as an EA alpha - and for such an early state, it's really fun to play and I've never seen some gamebreaking bugs and things like that. You can craft or buy some items, you can build your own base and/or tame your own creatures (and they're helping you to fight against other monsters)...

Create your own company, select your own player character, play alone or with others, explore the world or escort some npc to a safezone, walk on foot or drive a car.... It's up to you how to play ! I am enjoying it a lot and it's one of the best indie games out there. Sure, they're using assets from the Unreal store, but I am doing 3d art since more than 5 years now and I know it's not easy and time consuming to create all stuff on your own (and hire an artist is really expensive!!!). But at the end, you will get a game with great looking graphics and a lot of fun to play.

This game use the UE4 engine and run's very well. I don't noticed any framedrops or something. In my opinion, the devs did an amazing job! I am highly recommend to visit the official Discord server. The devs/mods always answer as soon as possible, working hard on this game....

Would I buy it again ? Absolutely!

(sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language)

This is not the typical Zombie Survival Game, it's my personal Survival Game of the Year. I've backed it a couple of weeks ago and I fall in love with this game.

The reason I recommend this game is: it feels completely different than any other survival game out there. The art style, the zombies, the exploring, the hunting, the looting, the crafting.... It's like a puzzle, and every single part fit together. It's absolutely fun to play, no matter if you try it on your own or invite your friends to survive.

Zouking did an amazing job, it feels so good, you will forgot about it that this game is in an Alpha state and Early Access.

If you seach for a good Zombie survival game, with great features and a completely different look and feel, I can highly recommend it - and for the current price, it's like you'll get an awesome game with near 90% discount... it's nothing for that amount of stuff you'll get.

First of all: Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language. Please don't get mad about my bad writing :D

My Island is a survival game with an beautiful art style. This game looks absolutely beautiful and I fall in love. It's something completely different as I've played before. I would highly recommend to look at some screenshots. If you like what you see, you will love it to see it live in action.

The game itself is in an early stage and includes basic survival elements like thirst and hunger, gathering and crafting. With an craftable raft it's possible to visit other islands to find new materials, animals and many many other things. As I said before, it's in an early stage, so don't expect tons of features in this current state. The developer works hard on it and have some great ideas for the future (maybe multiplayer, story, npc's....).

And yes, there are issues in the game. Some things needs a little bit more work, but I am sure if it's completely done and many more features are included, it would be a great game !

Customer service is something, I missed in many games - but in this case, it's different. No matter what you do: Report bugs, wrote an negative review - the developer takes it really personally and want to fix everything as soon as possible. Take a look into the discussion/review section and you'll notice, the developer response to everything.

Conclusion: Yes, I would buy it again. It's a beautiful game with an great art style and I can't wait to see this game "grow".

Best wishes,

Don't waste a single cent on this. Game is dead - no servers, no devs, no game.... ! Stay far far away from the game and developer !

In my opinion, Forklift Simulator 2019 are one of the most underrated Early Access games out there. If you like simulations, you will love it, because it feels like to drive a real Forklift. The developers are really active on the forum, so if you have problems, questions and suggestions, you will get answer as sonn as possible. They take care about us, the players and wanna hear about our suggestions.

Sure, currently I don't have that much playtime (currently really busy) but I will play it again and can't wait to see the game "growing". They have some great plans for the future, so we can expect many fun things in it (like a free mode and so on...). The price looks "high" at first, but at the end, we will get a great game (and not like the other crappy forklift games out there).

Is it worth a buy ? In my opinion: Absolutely!

Update 02/04/2019:

Since last September 2018, the Developer adds tons of updates with tons of new features and fixes. The game isn't the same anymore !

We got a police system (including a prison), a brand new building system, graphical improvements and optimizations. There are shops, interesting locations, voice-chat (yeah, you can talk!!) and many many more.

Believe it or not, there are tons of GREAT features coming soon. Build It going forward to be one of the best Life-MMORPG's out there. I am really impressed about the game, the support and the passion of the developer about this game. It's not a quick cash-grab or an asset-flip - it's really fun and amazing to see the development process.

To be honest, I love this game and it's one of my favorite games out there - and it's still in development with near unlimited great ideas coming up !

====== OLD REVIEW =====


"Build it" is an highly RP based, 3rd person MMO set's place in an open world scenario. There is no story and there is no "path" you have to follow. You'll be able to write your own story, alone, with friends or unknown people. It's up to you: Do you want to be an good guy, work hard to earn money, build your own house... or you want to be the bad one, that buy a gun and try to hunt other people down to get all their stuff ? "Build it" will allow you to do, what you want to do.

The game combines many many features from other genres e.g. Real-Life simulator, survival and building/crafting. There are tons of items available to build your unique house/car, so you'll be able to make what you want to create. But you need in-game money! You need to buy those items from NPC's and there are many ways to earn money. But how to earn money ? Do a in-game job !

There are several jobs available. Some of them are free (gather apples and sell them to an NPC), but others will cost some money ! For an example: Gather cannabis, drive to the cannabis processor and you'll be able to generate some joints and sell them to the drug dealer ! Or do some mining, gather some diamonds ore, drive to the diamond processor and hopefully you get some diamonds you can sell. But keep in mind: You need a little bit of luck. Sometimes it's happen that the processor craft "nothing" and you have to do it again. So much work, but don't forget your little health/thirst bars ! Yeah, you have to eat and drink - and if you don't take care about it, a Pain meter will show up until it's full - and you die ! And if you die, you lost everything you've in your inventory (including money and clothes you've bought). But don't worry, there are several ways to save some items/or your money. At an ATM you can send money to your bank account and if you die, it will not get lost. For other items, you can buy an container and place it into your house. This container saves all items that you put into it. So there are many things to to, and in the future, there will be much more !

The graphic in the game - I like it ! It's not Triple-A, but it's not bad, too ! It's good and I love to see the day/night/rain/snow cycles in the game. It looks amazing! Keep in mind it's an small developer, and for such an game, it's more as good ! The sound effects - okay, that's something the developer will work (later) on. As I said, it's a small developer and they focusing on more important things. But they will work on it. So, don't expect some 3D-high-quality sound at this stage. The gameplay itself... You have to learn how to play! Some features are easy, others needs some playtime to deal with it. But at the end, you'll get into this game really quickly and the developer want to add an tutorial to this game. And for sure, the community will help you, too ! If you have questions and don't know how some things works, take a visit at Discord and/or the Steam forum.

The Servers: Currently only one US based server with 50 slots - but it works for now (I am from europe!) and more servers (outside the us, too) are planed. Sure, it depends a little bit on how many people join the community. But we will see in the future what's happen. But also keep in mind: As an small developer you can't add tons of servers like a big company.


Sure, this game have bugs and sometimes we have to deal with problems - but why do we need EA when we don't expect such things ? But to be honest, the developer works really hard on it, take every single bugreport really seriously and give us customers a great support. Really, for such an small developer, it's absolutely great. I've seen bigger companys without such an great support.

If you're into the RP gameplay, it's a promising game and make a lot of fun. I agree that there is many work to do and much more features are needed AND announced for the future (check out the Roadmap). And with more people on it, it would be an amazing thing and a good game to play.

IS it worth ? Personally: YES !

What is BugOut?

BugOut is an atmospheric, modern day 3rd person hardcore survival rpg game, takes place somewhere in the USA. Only with your backpack, canteen and some other items, you went out to prepare for many disasters until the "end of all days" will happen. Question is: Will you survive ?

BugOut includes some great elements from other genres, like the permadeath system. If you die you have to start again.

How important is to learn the survival techniques ?

This is ONE of the KEY FEATURES of the game! If you learned all survival techniques it's possible to survive every singe disaster - including the Apocalypse. But don't get me wrong: It's an HARDCORE SURVIVAL GAME, that means: It's easy to learn, but hard to master :) !

How it feels to play BugOut? Is it the same like any other survival game?

Absolutely NOT ! Most survival games today feels always the same. It's like you play one game over and over again - the only different thing is the graphic itself.

BugOut tries something new. You will notice the compelte different UI. It's awesome to see that these guys working hard to give you all the freedom on your character as in the real world. You can't carry tons of woods or things like that. You have to manage your backpack wisely. Currently they working on some awesome things that make the game more realistic as any other game out there !

The graphic and atmosphere is more as AWESOME ! Many times I look around in the game and watch the sky and I am so impressed. When the sun goes down, you will love it ! You see the beauty of the enviroment, but also notice you have to survive. This opposites make this game so unbelievably unique. Sure, it's not an triple-A-million-dollar-gfx, but honestly, it doesn't need such graphics. You will feel the love that the developers put into it - and that's why I love this graphic and atmosphere !

It's so much fun to cut down trees, gather things to craft items, visit the vendor to buy stuff and things like that. You can go everywhere you want to go, have all the freedom you need to explore the world of BugOut.

What do you think about the developers? Will this game get's abandoned quickly after release? How much care takes the developers about their own game?

The developers are 2 really nice guys and to be honest, I have never seen such an developer like these two guys !

The last couple of weeks I've seen two guys, working hard on a game, got really scared about to show the game to the public and do anything to make your first playtime as an unique experience. So, as we reported bugs, you can't believe how fast the developers react to your report. They take any bug you notice very seriously and try to fix it as fast as they can. I have never seen such great work, updates day after day beside their life and day jobs !

Suggestions will get noticed and discussed by themself. I've seen many developers, yeah, they've their own suggestion threads, but seriously ? They don't care. A2G did the opposite! They take REALLY REALLY care about your opinion and will discuss things, think to implement many things you offer.

It's amazing ! If you're going forward to buy this game, you will get one of the best supported piece of software !!!

Okay, would there be many things to do in the first EA release ?

It's depends on what you expect! It's an early alpha and many many things wouldn't be included on the first release ! But yeah, it's awesome to explore, try the crafting system, visit the vendor, cut down trees, check out the different UI and things like that. Personally, I love what I've got with BugOut and I can't wait to see what's upcoming next !

So, is it worth to buy ?

Personally, absolutely YES ! I would buy it again, anytime ! This game promising so much and the developers proves everyday that they know what they're doing and can make it! And yes, I believe in this team, I believe in this game and I am sure it would be one of the best hardcore survival rpg games out there !

So, if you are into Early Access, love survival games, want to support the idea and the developer and don't care about bugs, lack of content/features and things like that, I will highly recommend this game !

If you search for an near finished, highly optimized and tons of content game, I will advise you to add it to your wish list !

Most multiplayer survival/battle royale games out there are based on an "luck" system. If you jump out at the wrong position you'll run around like a chicken and hope you'll not get killed - but mostly, without the right gear, it's nearly impossible to survive. Lifeblood tries something different!

Lifeblood is an fantasy Survival / Battle Royale game, highly focusing on teamwork and an skill-based combat system. You'll join a game as a team, gather materials to craft your own weapons/armor and fight together against an other team. You'll have an complete different experience as any other Survival / Battle Royale game out there and will quickly notice how important "work together as a team" is.

The graphic looks really nice - really, I like this kind of art. Sure, it's not an ultra-realistic-hobbit-movie-triple-a graphic, but it works for me, because this game is sooo atmospheric ... Sometimes I wish I could stay longer on some places to watch over the landscape, but you'll keep in mind it's an survival game... so.... you have to stay focused and help your team to survive :P ...

Music and sound effects are great and pushes the game to the next level. But keep in mind, game is still in development, graphics, sound effects, music and so on could be changed anytime and I don't like to judge these elements in such an early stage.


For many people these questions are important, and yes, currently the player base are small and many times you have to wait to get a game started. But, the developers, community manager and the community are such fantastic and friendly people, they try anything to get you into the game. If you join the official Discord channel, ask for help, or want to get a group together to join a match, they do anything to make it happen.

Such a great support, such a nice developer and SUCH A UNDERRATED GAME ! It has an great potential to be one of the best survival / battle royale games out there.

My conclusion: Give this game a chance! Yeah, I know, there aren't many players (currently!!!), but if we stay, join and fight together, spreed the world with screenshots, videos, streams... I think the player base will grow and grow and grow... and then you don't need to wait to fight :D

Best wishes,

The first thing what comes into your mind is: Oh no, another battle royale game ! And sure, in Infected Battlegrounds we'll fly and drop into another battlefield and need to search for loot e.g. weapons, bandages and so on to survive. We got the "zone" that shrinks after time and if you're outside this "zone", your health will decrease constantly. So you need to stay alive into the save zone and fight against other players until you can leave the battlefield....

... but other players aren't your enemy, only ! There are hordes of AI zombies! They'll try to kill you as well, so it's more as possible to get into "big trouble" and keep your eye up for zombies and other players. Now, you get shot or killed by a zombie - the game ends ? No ! You'll come back as an Undead Zombie and can try to kill all players alive. It makes this game a complete different experience as any other battle royale title.

It's an small developer, even though Infected Battlegrounds are in Early Access, it makes so much fun to play. Sure, currently 20 people can join a battlefield and fight against each other. But if the game and community grows, maybe the server will incease the amount of players per match.

As some other reviews sayed: Currently there aren't much players online, and that's true, but keep in mind: It's an small developer without tons of money for advertising and it will take time to grow an playerbase for this game. But if you are open minded and play this game, invite your friends, I am sure the community will grow.


This game is an awesome alternative beside the "Big Players" e.g. PUBG or Fortnite and I am really happy to spend my money (I mean, it's really a small amount of money to spend!) for such a great game. The developer are an really nice and friendly guy and it looks like that he love his "baby" and takes the development process really seriously.

Are you interested ? Come on and join the development process and keep surviving !

Happy hunting !
