I got bit while looking for a gas can I dropped. I knew death was certain, proceeded to kill an entire horde with a nightstick, got ****-faced drunk and made a bleach cocktail.

After 10+ hours of playing I feel I am ready to write a fair and honest review.
Pros:
-Awesome metabolism and digestion mechanics
-Great climbing/vaulting animations
-Hunting pays off
-This game forces players to actively scavenge for food so no one can stay in one area for too long
-Amazing layering system
-Very large and detailed map
-Melee combat isn't terrible and you have the ability to lock onto a target
-Plenty of loot spawns
-It is a BLAST to play with friends
-In-depth information about your players physiological status
-Character Creation
-Good weather system and day and night cycle.
-Realistic saturation and weight.
-Good in-game voice chat (there is also text chat, server wide and proximity)
-The awareness system is amazing, you can only see what your characters eyes see or what your ears hear meaning that you cannot be third person peeked unless you are making a lot of noise.
-This game makes me feel like a scavenger. Hiding from the Mechs and looting while their backs are turned is an exhilarating experience
-The puppets (zombie like AI) are an actual threat to your survival.
-Good medical mechanics i.e. painkillers, antibiotics, vitamin supplements actaully help, charcoal pills etc.
-----
Cons:
-Memory leak causes your frames to drop the longer you play the game (Start at 80+ in an hour I am at 25)
-Gunplay is alright and needs some work (If a round is chambered you cannot unchamber the round in the gun but you can take the magazine/clip out)
-If a player or animal is in motion when you kill it there is a chance it's body will go flying in the direction they were moving
-Holstered Weapons sometimes go into the player model and it looks a bit wonky.
-Lag and Desync issues (though the lag hasn't caused ME to desync/DC the issue is still prevalent)
-The mechs (large robots that gaurd the high risk, high reward areas on the map for those that haven't played yet) can be a bit wall-hacky and spot you through a corner, sometimes even killing you.
-The puppets sometimes go through walls or hangar doors
-Relatively low player count compared to the great size of the map
-A few optimization issues, the game is already optimized well but there is always room for improvement.
-Melee animations could use a small bit of work.
-If you have a bigger character your arms clip through your player model (in the Latissimus Dorsi area)

I didn't mention the lack of content due to the recent release of the title. Yes, there is a lack of content as of now, mostly firearms and firearm attachments. There is a wide array of melee weapons that you can find on the map. Before buying be prepared to run, like alot, the map is massive so this comes with its own set of pros and cons. You might not run into players that often unless you go to the high risk high reward areas. This game isn't just straight PvP, its survival, and thats exactly what it makes you do. There are events however that are like team deathmatch and you go in with a full kit and battle it out with other players but the base game is survival. I hope the devs stay true with the survival aspect of the game and don't join the battle royale band wagon. I feel as time goes along and as long as the devs stick to it the game will have a lot of success.
In my humble opinion I think that the game is worth the $20.

As much as I would love to positively review this game, the cons outweigh the pros. Every round I get play-doh buildings, I can run through walls and fall through floors. I have to wait about 1-3 minutes EVERY game for this to stop and it is incredibly frustrating. One game I hit my TAB key to pick some thing up and it blackscreened.. fix your game.
Yes my PC is powerful enough to run the game. I play at Ultra settings but ever since the new update I brought them down to medium.

Why must you take away OpenIV!? D:
It was just harmless singleplayer modding!?

So I get the game expecting something like DayZ, I was mistaken, I've gotten something much better.
I spawn into my first server and hear the distinct sound of a squeaker in the distance. I track the noise to an old white house in Pinecrest. When I spot the wild squeaker it appears that he is testing out controls or doing some type of mating dance tbh idfk what he was doing, anyways, I see the perfect time to strike. I sneak up on the wild squeaker and proceed to punch said beast. To my dismay, the squeaker panics and begins to scream and run around while holding down his VOIP key. He then tries to reason with me and asking to be my friend, I know this was a conspiracy, I couldn't trust a wild animal. So I continue to beat the squeaker. After chasing the squeaker down about 6 blocks, I hear one last shreik of panic and my last punch lands, I scramble to check his loot and long story short I got green pants. :^)
Was it worth it? You may ask, and yes it is, one less beast to worry about.
10/10 Would beat a squeaker to death again.
