Steam review snapshots
It is old, it was insanely fun back then, and it is still fun with friends now.Exploration is fun as you explore caves for resources that can help you build stronger weaponry to defend yourself from the hordes…started a survival game for the first time and 2 minutes later I'm 90% sure these two hacker guys just joined and…The guns are awesome and having the ore upgrades for all of them give a modded Minecraft grind feel.Why it fits
Best for players who want exploration, survival crafting, and a co-op feel. Its appeal centers on exploring, gathering resources, and building up gear, especially with friends.
