There isn’t much to say about 7 Days to Die as it is a game that has been here for a while, and it is quite infamous for how long it took it to get out of early access.
The overall gameplay and mechanics are good, you explore the world, loot, find a base, craft and upgrade your base defenses, and try to survive the hordes. In essence, the game is really fun, and you can get lost in it for hours, even more if you play with friends.
Before it got out of the early access, I would definitely recommend this game as it was really cheap and for a few bucks, you get hours and hours of fun.
But once it came out of early access I stopped recommending it mainly due to the price increase, as there is no way they can justify that much of an increase, there isn’t just that much content added in the full release that would make buy it for the price they are asking.
But hey if you catch it on some big discount it is definitely worth trying.
7 days to die is a game that was left cooking for a long time in early access but finally got its 1.0 that doesn’t feel much different. The start of the game feels rather slow but as you grow with the games technology it feels gratifying to go from a single shot pipe pistol to a deagle that can one shot most with good setup and mods. The building can be frustrating but once you figure out the kinks it’s a fun time to spend 3 of the 7 days building for the eventual horde night. Oh I forgot to explain what the game is!
The game is quite literal with its title, every 7 days a blood moon and a massive horde of zombies rushes you for the whole night. Your job is to set up a base to hold off this night and each week you gain gear and become stronger but so does the horde. Simple enough but later one zombie varients become more tricky but traps exist to help negate that.
The game is fun with a few friends and extremely lonely solo but it’s a fun journey!
You are dropped into a post-zombie world with no clues. Figure it out fast. 7 Days pass a lot faster than you think they will. Find a place to call home. Build defenses. Gather supplies. All while not dying, even with all the weapons you can find or build. Surviving is harder than you think in this game.
Yes, I rate this game as an 8 because it has SO much going for it. For example, every time I get started, I still get at least one good jump scare before I get settled in. That said, the two cons I listed though could easily lower it to a 6 or 7 for some players. On the bright side, there is a very large community out there of people who can help you navigate the game. I only play solo, so I can’t comment on co-op modes.
I absolutely recommend this game to everyone. Just remember. Time flies. And, you only have 7 days.
This game is a bit of a rollercoaster, sometimes thrilling, sometimes frustrating, but it keeps you coming back 🙂 You start out alone in a zombie-infested world with barely anything with you, and from there, you scavenge for supplies, build up your defenses, and do everything you can to survive, It’s tense, it’s messy, and it’s oddly addictive, if you are on Gameoneer, you know the drill ^^
The game’s crafting system is a highlight, you can build everything from simple tools to massive fortresses, and watching your base evolve into a fortress of survival is incredibly satisfying. The blood moon events, when hordes of zombies come at you full force, are some of the most intense moments ! It’s all about preparation, and if you’re not ready, you’re toast.
That said, the game does have its rough edges. The graphics, for starters, feel outdated and a little clunky. It’s not a game you play for stunning visuals. Combat is fun at first but gets old after a while. bashing zombies only stays exciting for so long and while the early game is packed with tension as you scramble to stay alive, the later game can feel a bit grindy. Once you’ve got a solid setup, the sense of urgency starts to fade.
Multiplayer, though, is where this game shines brightest. Teaming up with friends to build an epic base or fend off blood moons is an absolute blast 😉 Solo play, on the other hand, can get lonely and repetitive. It’s a much better experience when shared with others.
Overall, 7 Days to Die is far from perfect, but it has a certain charm and If you can look past its flaws, there’s a lot of fun to be had 😉
7 Days to Die has had a long development cycle, resulting in some of the most fun you can have in an open world game. Having played earlier builds of the game I never would have thought the game would end up this good. I played a private game with a few friends and it was one of the only games in recent years that we stuck with for a time, and that’s probably the biggest con of the game, that you max out your characters fairly quickly and become impossible to kill. That doesn’t stop the game from being an awesome sandbox where you’re always working towards that next skill, weapon, or vehicle.
Exploring the map is amazing and tense as you start and slowly turns into an amazing playground as your character develops and specializes. Vehicles make traversing the map a blast, be it on a motorcycle or in a gyroplane, getting around in this game starts as a chore and turns into a highlight of the game. Landing your makeshift helicopter on buildings and messing up is sure to have you and your friends in stitches. Exploring levels is a blast as the points of interest have a bespoke hand crafted feel to them, with hidden stashes and plenty of secrets in each location.
Reaching the late game is tons of fun but it puts a fairly solid expiration date on the game, once you’ve reached the higher levels in a combat skill you’re essentially immortal. Clearing more difficult points of interest with friends is a blast but when you’re grinding the same few to build up quest points it can become stale. Grind notwithstanding, the game is a gem and I’d recommend it to anyone, though I’d suggest playing with friends if you’re trying to play through the content without PVP. Inching toward that unstoppable level is a treat every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a great zombie game with all kinds of potential for hours of play this is a great title to buy. The base game is pretty solid, but this game really shines with all of the mods you can put in to change up what you can do in the game. Amazing to play with friends or on a community server. The devs have been continuously updating this game for years, so it’s definitely worth the one time buy. The building mechanics are interesting, you can make some super cool bases. I do think this game is incredibly buggy at times, especially after updates. Lag can also be an issue, especially if there’s a ton of zombies and if you’re on a community server the farther away from it you are the more potential there is for lag. Overall a good game, and despite the potential issues at times it’s a game I highly recommend.
There are small balancing issues but the game overall is actually nice. I like playing with friends as it is more interesting instead of playing alone. There are some zombies pretty annoying, but you can deal with them using strategies. It’s nice that you can build whatever house you want or even reconstruct whatever home you find, and make it into your base.
It’s debatable what makes a survival game the best, but this game, like others in its genre, drew me in deeply. Depth of the sandbox, base building, combat, simplicity or complexity of certain aspects, freedom, long playing time… etc. I like it so much and I’m addicted to it, in a way very few games can pull me in and make me want to play every day. Version 1.0 is expected to be released soon and if you like the genre it definitely deserves a chance.
7 days to die was one of the first survival games I started playing on Xbox with friends and it was super fun and addictive but unfortunately it became boring because of lack of updates and limited content, more like devs never cared about Xbox version.
After some time I bought 7 days to die again on Pc and it was way better because it was better optimized than Xbox version and more content, and of course mods make every game 10x more worth it and fun.
Overall, the 7 days to die on Pc is amazing, Building is fun and you can add more Building and defense mods which can make the game more enjoyable.
This game is pretty good but there are also things that aren’t that good.
My own favourite version of the game was alfa 16, where there were some random daily zombie hordes like soldiers, hazmat or nurses. We usually always killed those hordes and you could loot every zombie body. It was a lot more fun than it is now. Also, earlier versions you could pick everything up you would like to like flowers and plants and stuff. Now you got to hit them to pick up, it’s not great.
Sadly, the developers rush every update out but never actually optimize the game so it would work well. Also, they make the game harder and harder and at some point, I will quit playing the game. It is already so hard and a lot less fun. I really would like to like and enjoy the game because it is a good game but it’s hard to enjoy. But luckily playing with friends, especially with good friends will make it enjoyable.
They have removed some great things to use from the game sadly too. We usually used the trap doors “glitch” as an elevator, but it isn’t possible anymore. One or couple time we had a great and fun time in the game with some friends. It’s good to play alone too. You could play the game as you like. Single player, co-op, online multiplayer and you can play the game as it is meant “7 days to die” you loot, survive, kill zombies and much more. You also could play “7 days to die house flipper edition” where you would repair and rebuild the broken buildings, that I have seen done on YouTube.
There are different maps/worlds to choose like random gen where everything is randomly generated, that my friends and I mostly like but also there is Navzgame which is hand custom built. There are constant updates kinda regularly in some way. I have played myself the game over 1k hours in all those years. I have seen some random hordes even now sometimes, but they aren’t anything especial, but still fun to kill.
There are a variety of zombies, buildings, guns, melee weapons, products and much more stuff. There are trader quests which are pretty useful to do. They have made the game a lot harder now, everything costs a lot more than usually and everything is mostly book related now, usually we used to use skill points for that. Don’t know where they will end up with the game in the future. Hard to tell what or how I feel about the game. You try the game yourself and see how you like it. It needs a pretty good pc to play well, in my old “gaming” laptop it worked well at first but later it was pretty bad, now when I got a lot better gaming laptop it works a lot better.
I would rate the game like 6-7 out of 10, I think.
Imagine a post-apocalyptic world overrun by hungry zombies, crumbling buildings, and you, wondering if you have enough skills to survive. Welcome to the chaotic realm of “7 Days to Die,” the kind of place where neighbors really want to eat you. In this review, we’re going to talk about all of that—it’s going to be a wild ride!
In this apocalyptic world, a virus has spread like wildfire, turning peaceful citizens into flesh-hungry undead. And the slightest mistake can cost you your life (well, what’s left of it). In this struggle against the dead, you embody one of these valiant (or not) survivors, seeking to subsist in a world where the motto is: survive today because tomorrow isn’t really guaranteed.
At the start of the game, you have very little, just some worn clothes and a frightened look, but the world offers you many possibilities. The game cleverly combines survival, building, and crafting elements. You’ll have to forge your own path, literally, by constructing shelters, fortifications, and anything that can help you fend off zombie hordes. But beware, things get a bit more… intense at night. Just like in Dying Light, zombies transform into even more dangerous creatures, ready to do anything to nibble on you. Resource management is crucial, whether for sustenance, crafting weapons, or reinforcing your fortress against nightly assaults.
You’ll also need to monitor basic needs like hunger, thirst, and temperature, adding a layer of complexity to your struggle for survival. The game encourages you to explore, face various dangers, and make crucial decisions for your survival. Let yourself go too much, and you might just become the main course for the roamers.
“7 Days to Die” may not compete with graphical blockbusters, but it does its best with the resources at its disposal. The graphics are rudimentary, with sometimes pixelated textures and rather basic character models. However, the game’s post-apocalyptic aesthetic has its charm, with dilapidated environments and abandoned settings. Dynamic lighting adds a particular ambiance, especially during dark and oppressive nights. The weather effects, although limited, contribute to creating an immersive atmosphere.
With the game’s Solo mode, there’s also the multiplayer survival mode that allows you to play with friends in either PVP or PVE, as you wish, knowing that it’s possible to create a private game to play only with invited people (personally, I mostly play solo for most of my games).
However, despite its qualities, the game is not without flaws. The game’s performance can sometimes be inconsistent, with framerate drops and latency issues, especially when exploring dense areas. Additionally, while the graphics have their charm, some might find them outdated, and the lack of variety in character and environment models can become repetitive over time.
If you’re ready to face zombies, build fortresses, and explore a post-apocalyptic world, alone or with companions, this game offers an adventure full of tension and thrills. Grab your picks and weapons; survival starts now! (It’s perfect timing; they’re airing “I Am Legend” on TV in a few minutes as I write this review).
7 Days to Die provides an immersive survival experience thanks to its deep crafting system, where you scrounge for resources to build and adapt. The day/night cycle adds an exciting twist, turning peaceful days into tense nights filled with more aggressive zombies. The randomly generated open world keeps things fresh, offering new challenges each time you play.
On the downside, the graphics aren’t top-notch, feeling a bit outdated compared to newer games. However, if you enjoy the survival and base-building aspects, 7 Days to Die still manages to offer a gripping adventure in a post-apocalyptic setting with tough zombies to contend with. The addition of Blood Moons, colossal zombie waves every seven days, brings a thrilling and challenging dynamic to the game. Successfully resisting these onslaughts requires meticulous preparation, a robust base, and reliable weaponry. These lunar sieges elevate the stakes, transforming 7 Days to Die into an intense survival experience where strategic planning is crucial, and every seven-day cycle becomes a nail-biting test of your survival skills.
Overall, if you haven’t tested and own the game yet you should try it, 7 Days to Die excels as a solo experience, offering a challenging and immersive survival experience. However, the game truly shines when played with friends, so don’t hesitate if you’ve some ready to play 🙂
Even with 10 years in Early access, for me, it is still a rounded survival game. Replayable to infinity thanks to mods and Bundles.
This is a game that I come back to every time they do a large update! Alpha 21 has changed the game SO much that it feels like a brand new game! They game and its looks have changed a ton. New block types. Harder zombie. Twitch add on lets viewers spawn zombies on the streamer. Boss fights added. Easy to learn.
Looking forward to Alpha 22~!
“7 Days to Die” is a unique blend of survival, crafting, and zombie survival elements. The game offers a challenging experience with its day-night cycle, where the threats become significantly more dangerous during the night. The crafting system is deep and allows for a wide range of customization and creativity in base-building. Exploring the open world and scavenging for resources is engaging, and the game provides a real sense of accomplishment when you manage to fortify your position against the hordes.
However, it’s worth noting that the game has been criticized for occasional bugs and performance issues. Some players have also mentioned that the graphics and animations could use improvement. It takes much time for a small dev team to reach up the main goal, so it’s understandable that the engine tech used at the beginning do not catch up with all the survivals games that run in UE5 nowadays…
MisterMyztik & I have logged over 1000 hours into 7 days to die, it is ALWAYS fun. The playthroughs are never the same and with the mods the fun is endless!!!
7 Days to Die is a very intertaining and addictive open-world zombie survival game, with a huge amount of things to do.
It can be played single player (even on a local server), or Co-op, and it’s very good at almost every feature it has to offer.
While the core objective of the game is keeping yourself on your toes, the game offers a lot of alternatives to get the tools to do so, ranging from looting different places, completing missions, or even crafting them yourself.
With the obtained resources, you will probably want to set up your own base, with all the traps you can imagine needed to defend it. Just thinking on how to properly set up a base is an extremely fun part of the game, as there is a very high level of customization, allowing you to put a lot of thought to create a good desing capable of holding up the zombies when you are going to need it (and trust me, you are going to need it).
The game also offers a great progression system, to keep the player motivated, and boosting the amount of hours you can spend on it (this very own reviewer has +1000 hours in-game just to give you an idea).
I must mention his only weaknesses probably are the melee combat, as it could be a little bit more immersive compared to other zombie games like Dead Island. And there is not a proper story at the moment of the review, but it is a feature planed on a future update.
In terms of new content and updates, the game commonly receives big updates roughly once every year. They are definitely not a regular thing, but when they come, they bring a lot of content. Don’t worry much about this, as I guarantee you have plenty of stuff to do already with the game on early access.
In conclusion, even with these minor disadvantages, the game has a lot of things you can enjoy, and is in my opinion a must-play 100%.
I’ve put years and years and years into 7 Days to Die and it is one of the absolute staple games I keep coming back to every major Alpha. The crafting system (especially in mod packs) is highly rewarding with multiple tiers of building materials to make a fort/base that can withstand a ton of zombie punishment when horde nights come, and multiple tiers of weapons/tools that make harvesting/killing easier and easier. Transitioning to a caveman style axe to iron tools, then steel tools and finally powered tools like augurs and chainsaws. The ability to find/repair/buy vehicles (depending on mods) to travel around the map makes later game play even better as they go faster and carry more room for storage. The quest system from Traders is set up on a per-Trader rep system, and the quests reward decent upgrades/rare items on occasion. After so many quests at each Tier, you get an upgrade to higher tier quests that reward better but can be harder and harder as time/tiers progress. I would highly recommend going private server with lots of Quality of Life Mods that make the game experience tons better, especially the larger modpacks like Undead Legacy and Darkness Falls that add actual endgame content and give you a reason to advance day after day. The premise that you have 7 days to prepare each time before a blood moon is a great incentive to plan out places to fight hordes. Building electric blade traps, fire throwers, spike traps, etc is a fun way to engineer the perfect ‘mouse trap’ to funnel zombies in and get all their xp/loot. Earlier periods usually rely on running for your life and using your ammo sparingly to take out zombies on the go until you get established enough to make a true Zombie Grinder. I can’t wait for the game to finally leave ‘Alpha’ status and go gold so we stop having to worry about worlds not being compatible between versions, and we get some actual fun end game content for vanilla like possibly world bosses etc.
Overall, this game is one like ARK, Minecraft, etc that I keep coming back to year after year with updates. I look forwards to what the devs can do in the future, especially to see full/final release.
7 Days to Die is a unique game which was released in 2013. Every 7 days there’s a huge herd of zombies attacking you, until then you gotta travel, prepare, loot, build the best defense possible (no matter where you are on the map).
You can get very creative to kill the zombies after 7 days, but the most important thing is you have to gather the loot.
You can play this game solo (which I did) or you can play as co-op or even multiplayer. In multiplayer other players can be your enemies along with AI zombies which makes it more difficult.
Really Cool and Unique game.
Easy 8/10
Zombies are out of hand which makes it a killing spree always game. My friends and I fight like crazy mad dogs against them. The game has a lot of weapons that are fun to use. 7 Days to Die is worth playing for sure.
7dtd is a great game overall. The premise is to build up your defenses for the upcoming horde night. Hence the name 7 days to die. During your 7 days you are supposed to build up your defenses and your offensive capabilities and either fight your way to sunrise or hide and rely on your defenses.
The endgame is somewhat lacking as once you have everything there is nothing to work for, but simply put a slap on an overhaul mod like Darkness Falls and you will forget all together that the game has little endgame (Many mods add endgame enemies and such to the game). The customizeability of 7dtd allows you to have as easy or as hard of a game as you’d like. Feel like gunning down zombie? How about slashing em up? Headshots anyone? All of these are ways to keep the hordes at bay as you make your way through this wasteland. There are many maps to play on and due to the voxel nature of the game Random world generation is huge in 7dtd. The many options and mods make replaying the game enjoyable. Most die hard players plan for the wipe and have designs ready.
Cons:
Even after giving the game an 8, I think it may even be a lower rating due to the multiple cons.
Main issue with the game is the updates/overall bugginess.
Whenever it updates expect to lose all your progress most times you have to wipe the save due to issues with the new version or you can keep playing the older version with no new content. That being said, the devs of the game will release versions called “stable” but they are far from it. There is never enough testing before a stable release sure this can be said about many games but with 7D2D it’s PAINFULLY apparent. The latest example: A20 released introducing a bug causing drones to corrupt your character. 20.1-20.3 the bug was fixed. They release a20.4 “stable” the bug is back with a vengeance. Its not a casual bug either, it nukes your character, the only solution is to delete character and start fresh or Roll back if your playing some where that is an option. The game has also been in Early Access for an incredibly long time with not a whole lot to show for it. Not to mention a crappy deal with a publisher that resulted in a console release of 7dtd locked into its old state with no chance of an update.
All that being said, I would still dump more hours into this game at the time of writing I have 600+ hours likely to dump 600 more into it as its updated. Its one of those games you play, finish or lose progress and come back months later and see whats new.
Honestly, don’t let the negatives put you off, nothing plays quite like 7dtd highly recommend giving it a try if you like to survive…
7 Days to Die is a Zombie Survival game that has been in early access since 2013.
While it is not unheard of for a survival game to launch in early access and stay like this for years most try to leave this stage in a few years time and mainly just add on top of what the game already has. Having played 7 Days to Die since launch I have started it up multiple times over its now almost 10 years life spent and there were a good amount of times where everything I knew about the game had changed. Having played with those new changes most were for a better experience but if you are a type of player that wants a game and for it to be the same after a few years just with more content I would wait on this one when it probably leaves early access. (so like another 10 years probably)
With 10 years of development there are a lot of features in the game and the pre made map is huge, There are hundreds if not thousands of things to craft and build with. There is a lot to explore and some buildings even hold secrets in them.
And if you want to build a base yourself this has been made really easy since you build it up with building blocks. You can also shape the land however you want so this makes those annoying uneven terrains from most other survival games pretty much nonexistent.
One large flaw I find with the game is if there is a new huge update it will most likely either break your save file or make the new content inaccessible and for someone who likes to come back to older survival games and start back up from where I left off especially after a big new update this is a big problem.
However, 7 Days to Die is definitely worth playing.
