Thought I’d start a thread on this game, although it’s been out a while.
Picked it up a week or so ago and it’s absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Horror, survival game. Looks gorgeous, doesn’t hold your hand at all, and it has nailed the immersion factor. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve nearly shit myself on numerous occasions, and the fact the majority of these instances are unscripted makes it even more terrifying.
I’ve just restarted the game for about the 5th time. Finally feel like I’m learning and intend to go full on turtle, survival mode this time.
I’m not into horror games but this has the balance just right. It’s not about cheap jump scares, it’s about dark rooms, a flashlight that’s about to die, and a load of cannibals and mutants wanting to have you for lunch……fantastic!

Guardian review.
Is the game worth buying now? That depends. It’s an early access release, meaning it isn’t finished yet. Core systems such as crafting, resource gathering, and combat are fully functional and fun to tinker with, but bugs and glitches are fairly common, ranging from flying corpses to large sections of the island failing to render properly when you load a game. More fundamentally, the island feels sparse and empty, while the current storyline is brief and rudimentary. If you played (and enjoyed) Endnight’s previous game and don’t mind a few rough edges, it’s worth jumping in now. If you haven’t played The Forest, maybe try that first – it’s cheaper, and also finished.

It’s now out of early access and I’ve not experienced any issues so far 👍🏻
