Early Access Review
Let me start with the fact that this game is really Early in it's technical development. It is very functional and even fun to play but it needs a lot of optimization and polish. Looks great, has great features but runs like ass! Even a very beefy rig like mine that can play Witcher 3 in 4K@35-50FPS is not able to get more than 30FPS at 1080p out of this monstrosity.

EarlyAccess: This game is getting updates very regularly, i would say almost weekly and that is very impressive. In terms of EA games i would rate this at the top since it also comes with a dedicated server, a SDK, full UDK workshop integration and developers that work hard on improving the game.

The Game: Very enjoyable survival simulation. It's hard, it's frustrating and you will get killed a lot. Just what you would expect from being around the most vicious predators in Earth's history. There is a sufficient amount of content to play the game for hours and explore the relatively large Island. It takes a long time to level up and that is a good thing although some might not like that.

The Controls: If you played a shooter, you can play this. Very simple and intuitive controls. Decent inventory management. All keys can be re-mapped.

The Graphics: Spectacular to say the least. Very lush forests, waterfalls, rivers, rocky mountain peaks and tropical beaches. The amount of detail put into the Land and Flora is amazing. Day and night cycles, wind simulation and weather all are very well implemented and working nicely. Some of the effects are a little too much for my taste but overall this is almost AAA Quality not only because it uses the amazing Unreal 4 Engine but also because the developers put a lot of effort into the design and details.

Score: 7/10 Kangaroomice
