Well-developed game for Early Access. Friendly developer (at least the public liason, Johanna, who does most, if not all, of the news/update posts to Steam, Reddit, Discord, etc) open to ideas/suggestions from players. Granted, the gameplay isn't that complex (moreso than, say, Drive Beyond Horizons, but it's fun enough and hopefully will continue to expand and extend. I like the game enough that I created a wiki[ucs.fandom.com] for it so check it out and feel free to contribute.

A few months ago, this game was worth playing, despite being a buggy lagfest[dbh.wiki.gg]. I had, and still have, high hopes for this game, but recent updates[dbh.wiki.gg] have shown the developers aren't interested in fixing annoying/frustrating bugs like: not being able to disable auto-save, towed vehicles flying apart on game load, and terrible physics-related framerate, among many others. Instead, the developers would rather add content no one asked for (i.e. backrooms) and add so much more content (in the backrooms update) that it introduced even more bugs that need fixing. Game development 101 tip: fix the bugs and optimize the game before adding new content (and new bugs), which tank the framerate (de-optimization) even more! 🤦‍♂️ Until the devs learn how to actually develop properly (and get a program manager to focus and direct them), I cannot in good faith recommend this game at this time. 🤷‍♂️

Can't play because I still use Windows 7. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't go left at the tree or you fall down and can't get back up. Collision detection issues abound but otherwise an interesting, if not short, game. Free so I can't complain...much.

- Load times (asset warmup is the worst!) are WAY too long (15+ minutes; double if running a server).
- Toxic community so I usually play solo on my own server.
- Inventory too small!
- Needs environmental hazards besides radiation, which is just annoyingly unrealistic.
- Needs a land vehicle and an air vehicle would be fun too.
- Need more objects to me movable instead of having to destroy them; can't move (only rotate) workbenches, can't remove doors/walls/windows, etc.
- Time scale way too fast.
- Too much resource collecting with the same crap in barrels/crates that can't just be made. Respawn is WAY too fast for everything too.
- Procedurally generated terrain is buggy and doesn't always make sense (roads ending/starting abruptly within meters of each other, short streams/rivers, etc).

Terrible: couldn't get the game to recognize my GeForce GTX 750 Ti as D3D FeatureLevel 11.0-compatible until renaming/deleting dbghelp.dll (which then gives an EAC error window that will quit the game if clicked). Can't join any server (just dumps back to server list, which doesn't incrementally populate like it should). This game isn't even in alpha to me! 3 hours wasted trying to get this PoS to run. Refunded.
