31.07.20227days was amazing and developed int a great RPG survival game. PVE is unprecedentedly good

30.07.2022i was under th impression that this game was an online open world PVP game like days but its apparently a co op base defense game which if that is the case ill have to buy it

30.07.2022i remember back in the day when you could only make a minibike

30.07.2022They need to fix the frame drops when in tier 5 quests and the lag spikes where the whole game just freezes for a second and this would be my fav game

30.07.20227 Days 2 Die is fun but very quickly you learn all the buildings and soon enough you’re just running through buildings because you know where all the caches of loot are, a really good random generation tool would benefit this games buildings greatly. And the world works in stages, early on getting good loot is tedious and later on opening even basic containers can contain lots of high tier loot. And the tier 5 clear missions are not worth doing. Clearing out an entire skyscraper to get a quality 4 sniper rifle is beyond sad when you already have five of them. The skill system needs reworking because requiring to have level 10 in a category to unlock the last perk level feels super wrong cause leveling up takes forever especially once you hit 30+ and higher levels requiring 2-3 perk points per level is just ridiculous when you just want the last level of a perk. Getting money becomes dumb easy too once you past gamestage 5 and begin getting really good loot you already I have. I got 500k saved up and just bought all the vehicles past the mini bike. For a game that’s been in alpha for over 4 years it definitely feels like an alpha still in lots of ways.

30.07.2022I was loving this game until the lazy devs stopped doing stuff for console.

30.07.2022i found that if you did to many quests u can have purple t5 weapon on first day 7 which is bit silly but w/e we had t4 quests unlocked and had end game stuff by day 20ish so unsure if it was intended or not. haven't played in about 2 months but so maybe its been changed or fixed

30.07.2022If you're still looking for any kind of survival or zombie game, project zomboid is in a similar boat to 7 days, but with more of a focus on realism than 7days
Sylvia Grim
30.07.2022Why not try Project Zomboid?
Claud
30.07.2022I started back not so long ago. Last time I played was back in 2017. The amount of improvement of the game is insane
Animeke
30.07.2022An underrated game, it will definitely get more popular with the current roadmap. I'm excited to see how it progresses this year.

29.07.2022Sadly console version is still way way behind all of this. I would sell both my legs and half my internal organs for console to finally get these updates

29.07.2022i started back in alpha 18, the world was mostly flat (speaking of the cities) textures were bland at best. the game has done nothing but get better. Cities now feel full and alive, almost organic and that's a feat not even big triple A games can pull off.

29.07.2022Have you tried project zomboid? Very refreshing pve survival it is like nothing else
Mau Moreno
29.07.2022Unfortunately xbox version its kinda boring

29.07.2022If only the game was well optimized and not running like ass on most pcs it would be so fun to play
OpposingForces
29.07.2022to be fair, there is a storymode coming that uses the navesgane map. so a lot of the POIs will have proper story content attached to them. but yeah the way the fun pimps designed them, they also work great with environmental story telling. the original premise of the game was fallout 3 and minecraft having a baby that gets zombie aids.

29.07.2022This game is great. Aldo, try the Darkness falls mod for a change of pace.

29.07.2022ive grown up as a kid watching youtube videos of the game, now i have a pc thats likely gonna run it and i want to play it now, years worth of excitement of finally playing the game.

29.07.2022Almost looks like a totally different game compared to the last time I played it on console, damn we have been scammed.
The pc version is cheaper and get cool free updates we console players just get scammed.
I don't like pc as they need more space and you can buy a game a have the correct specs but still it doesn't work so you have to mess with things to get it to work but console put in the disc and have fun also keyboard and mouse controls are not comfortable especially the keyboard
Sure the mouse aiming is easier but but with enough practice and personalization of the options a controller can be way better overall.
Basically pc is hassle I don't want and don't have the space for but console is convenientl and fun and I have never heard of split screen games on pc.

29.07.2022We've been playing it for over 1700 hours, really love the game!

28.07.2022Is the name of your channel a reference to Evil Dead?

Bro you gotta try project zomboid. You can do anything in the game and it's great

28.07.2022The last time I played this was on PS4, so there's a lot of cool things I'm looking forward to because I'm waiting for my new PC to be delivered.
Broken Circle
28.07.2022My problem with 7 days is first the chunkiness. The controls feel bad…real bad. I don't understand why either it just feels like everything just feels sluggish, like as you drag your mouse someone else is constantly dragging it ever so slightly in the opposite direction you are.
The other problem is how it sometimes tries to be realistic and then other times does things like not allowing you to smash down a tiny beat up wooden door easily…doors that in reality I could take down with one kick.
Roger Turtle
28.07.2022Ya i played Forrest which was great. then i have been looking at what to get next.
I cant decide what with all the survival games out.
can someone tell me if 7 days to die is going to be better than stuff like Mist survival or Infected or subsistance?
Pt
28.07.2022Just wanted to say, incredible review man. Short, on point, and while throughoutly explaining what makes a game like that good in simple, understandable terms. Massive props.
Justin Unger
28.07.20221. i hate isometric pov games, but zomboid all day everyday. Only game to make me feel like its making me actually make choices like I would face in a real zombie apocalypse. 2. 7 days to die. 3. State of decay 2 imo
Midnight Wildspirit
28.07.2022for Me, this game is not worth playing. the game is still in alpha (been in alpha for years) & there's better games to spend Your time on.
David
28.07.2022The super corn/bob's boars thing was cool. That's visual story telling that relies on the player to being paying attention to discover the plot points rather than most games nowadays that lead you by the nose through boring cutscenes, walls of text, or never ending notes/diaries/computer terminals.
Timo Faust
26.07.2022This game is STILL alpha?
Jesus Rivera Valencia
26.07.2022Bro his game runs so smooth mine looks like it was made in the 80s with the same engine as Pac-Man smh…
I play Xbox btw and read more comments apparently it was abandoned on console as far as updates… man that sucks

26.07.2022Hi there! Got a question! How many Players can be on Mutliplayer Coop?

26.07.2022oh my god the game looks so different.. like it's a different game. 😀 great vid btw
Gungnir
26.07.2022How awsome it would be to have a loving wife to coop this with. Every aspect of life would be so much better with a partner like that. Good job achieving/scavenging one for yourself!
make earth spirit fun again
26.07.2022Play the modpack Darkness Falls if you want more content, compelling game progress, better story and late game oh and its very challenging so keep xp gain to 100% and increase time per day.

26.07.2022My friend and I just started playing this last night and it was so so much fun! And we’ve barely brushed the surface. Just having zombies drop from places while you’re looting is a blast, and the sounds the zombies make, with the accompanying ominous music, is amazing and intimidating. I’ve noped out of so many places when I heard an awakening zombie!

26.07.2022My biggest complaint is the lack of updated info. I struggle to find new changes. Like the pipe machine gun def was nerfed but I cant find it in the patch notes even

26.07.2022One of the best POI on the base map is the old manor on top of a mountain in the snow biome. Game goes Resident Evil in that house.

26.07.2022I'm still waiting for my Kickstarter reward…….this game is the reason I no longer back any game projects on crowdfunding platforms.

25.07.2022I've tried ark survival evolved, I've tried Conan exiles, I've tried Valheim, I've tried the forest, I've tried Rust, I've tried Subnautica, I've tried The Long Dark, I've tried Unturned and No Man's sky, I've played Green Hell and Project Zomboid and also Stardew Valley…
But Navesgane is home to me ! I've lived in it, I've bled in it, I've made friends in it, Lost friends to it…
If I keep playing it a few more years… I'll probably ask my family in my will to put a stone axe on my IRL grave and ask them to bury me with a box of 9mm shells and shotgun shells a diamond a few bars of silver and some cash….

25.07.2022The game is pretty fun but for my friend and I, we ran out of things to do in 50 hours. Granted we played A LOT of it in the first week, like 9 hours on one of those days which is insane. It just needs more variety in what you can actually do that’s tangible and not self-driven.
Also, the game is ridiculously unoptimised. We did a tier 5 clear mission in Dishong tower and my friend’s FPS dropped to single digits halfway up, maybe due to him hosting but still.
Setting it to low settings didn’t help at all and usually our fps is 80-90+, we’re rocking RTX cards (2070/3060) which isn’t super high end but not exactly potatoes either.

25.07.2022I loved your script, resuming on what's going on in this game + the xtra sauce (watching you scavenging IRL) HAHAHAHA that was epic!!!!
Also all games you have on shelf for me to watch!!
You arrived in the right time on my daily YouTube routine !! since honestly…YouTube algorithm is $#!T !!
I found you by my self and you deserve my solemnly subscription!
MrLechop
25.07.2022Wait what? I last played this on august 2014 according to my steam i'm sure the game used to look like minecraft.
Aussie Raver
25.07.2022I watched your video early January and decided to buy it.
I have never played a zombie survival game as good as 7 Days to Die.
It blew my mind.
On top of that, I decided to play in VR using a VR plugin and my life changed.
I've never been so scared of ensuring my base is complete every 7 days.
The anxiety is insane and I love it!

25.07.2022i wish this game would fully release, i think it would get top 10 if it finished soon.
DAN CED WAT
25.07.2022I bought it a month ago in a Steam special, had been interested in it since launch but never took the plunge. It's pretty addictive, co-opping Tier 5 Trader missions is quite scary. We managed to pool resources (and mission rewards) to get a gyrocopter which is cool. Sinking many hours into it with my partner and her cousin.
Andreas Müller
25.07.2022Yea…i graduated from medschool, 7 years of studies….and i remember playing this game as a 12th grader too in high school…wtf…theyll never finish it
MrZaphkiel
25.07.2022I got this game from a streamer when it was Alpha 7.7 so since then a lot changed even the terrain was look like minecraft and it wasnt smooth.. i belive they smoothed it out in Alpha 8 and i bought a copy for my friend when it was Alpha 15~ and stopped playing when it was Alpha 18. I planning to take a visit since i skipped A19-20 but i might wait for A21 if there is a info about the bandits will be in the game. They are in the code already and saw some models but idk… bandits are not 100% chance that will come with 21 and it's still like half year untill the new alpha drops so we'll see…
