4/5 1/5 (EA)

(EA): Really bad patching for a year, stuff is broken for months that worked 100% before, every patch brings a new uglier giant font & many promises that the good times are just around the corner. It's a mess atm and I really wish it wasn't because it was a genuinely fun game.

1/5 (EA) 1/5 (1.0)

(1.0): Well it's a dev update away from abandonware, still a wait & see I guess.
Many bugs still in the game after a year, still crashes on game close, fun late game really unbalanced now & the new armour system is a joke.
On a positive they have finally settled on a font size ... maybe.
An epic patch is needed to save this, hence the flip to not recommended.
It's a mess, stay away unless it's gifted to you.

~ Pros & Cons below from EA review ~

Pros:
Core gameplay is good.
Squishy (comparative: squishier or more squishy, superlative: squishiest or most squishy)
...(an object or substance) Yielding easily to pressure; very soft; especially, soft and wet, as mud.
New shooting mechanic.*.**.
* I only had short demo time on previous mechanic.
** It still needs tweaking.
Pixel setting is well stylised.
Weather jump-scares.
Many guns/mods/gubs.
Always something to do ... or not.
LOOT.
STORAGE.
ALL MINE.

Meh:
Still in development.
The base building seems a bit ehh as you have an annex all for yourself, I think it would be better to build up the base for all & linking some unlocks for the different traders to this.

Cons:
Demo.
F'ING birds.
No Bud Light.
Some maps are overly cluttered breaking quests.
A few crashes always linked to UI bugs ... still.
A little bit more variety in enemies needed for spice.
CQB gunplay with melee enemies = janky.
Drop rates on some objects are microscopic.
Loot.
More loot.
Even more loot.
Do I really need all these spoons ?
Not very good at testing patches that dissolve parts of the game that were shiny.

I didn't expect to like it after not enjoying the demo, but the gameplay is quick and satisfying also I didn't have to adjust to the new shooty system (which is not perfect).
It's been a minute since I played a game at 9pm and then apparently now it's 1am for some reason, and I still need a propane tank and some wurstel.

Buy. Bad ... Wait ... You ... Should.
