as such, people rdm even more than legacy
pvp still sucks massively bc R* has no idea what good pvp is

its just so peak

the game aesthetics, the gameplay loop, the soundtrack, its alll perfectly executed

The game is bad. Is bad game. Its been what, 12 years? Why does it STILL suck?
The developers of 7DtD, The Fun Pimps, seem to be vying for Worst at Job award.
They've removed many aspects of character customization, and what remains is VERY limited.
They've ham-handedly changed core survival aspects of the game to be a nonsensical, irritating hell.
The game looks like an active landfill, even on Ultra graphics. Its been 12 years.
Combat sucks. Massively. Its not fun. It blows.
Crafting is now locked behind finding magazines? And you need at least 11 magazines to learn how to craft a cure to an ailment you can encounter day 1? Excuse me?

The game is only playable with substantial modding, which must be done outside of steam thanks to the developers refusing to add workshop support. Even after going through all that effort, you're still playing what feels like a barebones roblox game from 2012. Heres an idea, go play roblox, I GUARANTEE you can find a similar game that plays 1000% better, has better developers, and is infinitely more worth your time.

3/10 stars. 1 for interesting map design (POIs have traps, hidden loot, jumpscares, etc), 1 for being a pioneer of this genre, and 1 for that kickass live-action trailer.

very immersive and at the same time over the top in the perfect ratio. I like how enemies react to incoming damage instead of a posing, innovation

absolver but worse in every conceivable way.

*Extremely limited moveset

*Extremely limited character customization

*Repetitive finishers and unsatisfying kills

*The camera is somehow even WORSE than absolver and gets stuck on one side of your character, caught in corners, etm

*The least comprehensible combat mechanics you've ever seen:

-Perfect blocks just sometimes don't work as the enemy's fists pierce... because
-Successful deflects/dodges are only punishable... sometimes? with no real way to discern
-They removed the slowmo effects that absolver had on good dodges/parrys, and instead you have to jab cancel to stun
-Which means if they have a double-hit move, you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ unless you memorize every attack pattern in the game, its not playable with reaction skills only
-All of which are moves it seems you'll never learn for the entire game, if the prologue where you play as yang is any indication

I'm so, so, so unbelievably let down by this game. Its not fun. There's no immersion due to the age system imo.
Every cool moment, like the recreation of the hallway fight from Oldboy, is ruined by ♥♥♥♥ game design and mechanics 15s later, when some uncancellable walking animation makes the dodge you input for never occur.
Buy this on 80% or cheaper, it deserves no better. >:'(

Devs hate fun and patch every tech out of the game. Ham-fisted balance changes remove entire classes from the player pool due to them becoming completely nonviable. There is still no sense of character or charm to the game, as customization possibilities are limited and feel incredibly cold, boring, and impersonal.

My condolences to the voice actors that played the announcers, they did a fantastic job and were one of the only well-executed things about this game. That and whoever put their soul into the (mostly) destructible environment. It has a LOT of infuriating flaws, from rigid above-ground house foundations to weird paneling, but it made the game what is was.

Maybe the devs will one day understand what made their game (fleetingly) good, but as of now they've killed it.

wow this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

poorly made and painful to look at even at ultra

Has the right intentions, but fails to achieve any of them. The maps are godawful, the EAC is non-functional, the intro hints at a campaign that isn't there. The rogue-like coop mode feels like you're on rails, and the PvP is less fun than CoD mobile- literally. The characters are not balanced for PvP, and I've seen better gunplay in Roblox. The one cool thing it has is "Barricade" gamemode. And maybe style. Fully acknowledging all I've said above, it's the best FtP FPS on the steam market right now- but the bar for that is so low it's on the floor.

You can't play the new killer you just bought without instantly going against the sweatiest people imaginable thanks to BHVR's braindead MMR system. The DLC is great, but giving money to those incompetent buffoons at Behavior is always a mistake.
