This game is incredible, but absolutely brutal. You will not survive, but the longer you do the more intense things become. Zombies are a threat, but only because they attract other players. One blow to the head will knock you out, one or (if you're lucky) two gun shots will kill you. Finding a weapon is difficult but not impossible if you know where to look. The map is, well, it takes hours to run from one side the the other. Do not trust anyone, people are sparce but deadly!
There are no bases except tents which prevent items despawning, everything sounds and looks amazing.

Definitely one of the best survival games out there at the moment.

Now for the bad bits.

People hate on this game so much because they can see its potential, and this frustrates them. The mechanics are weird and broken in places and the engine is old (no multi-core optimisations which leads to poor fps... basically prepare to play at 20 - 30fps on average), that combined with KOS mentality just turns people off.

But still, this 'game' is one of a kind. I recommend playing with someone, preferably someone that can guide you around the map very well. Don't get attached to your gear, you will lose it, or you will get to the point where you won't want to play because you're worried you will lose it, either way YOU WILL LOSE IT. It will take you hours to get it all back and you will lose it all over again, sounds ♥♥♥♥, but this ♥♥♥♥ will give you a hell of a rush.

That rush is why it is worth the money. This game will make you feel alive.
