Despite its rough edges and many many many revisions (some good, some bad) 7 Days to Die is a rare gem in the last decade of Early Access titles that actually made it past the goal line and didn't get abandoned.

It's the only open world survivalcraft game that didn't bore me to tears, offers up a lot of different ways to play, tons of POIs to explore and loot, a balanced crafting system that isn't too tedious, and a gameplay loop that keeps things interesting for hours on end.

Is it perfect? Hell no. We're still missing the NPC settlemts/raiders that didn't come with the 1.0 launch but even without this content the game will still keep you entertained for hours. It's fun with friends or by yourself, and there are always mods to help smooth out the aspects you don't care for or overhauls to make the game a hardcore survival game.

If you like zombies and survival horror then 7 Days to Die needs to be at the top of your list to play.
