Played it for almost 2 hours earlier. Game needs a lot of work but it has some solid ideas.

There's a shit tonne of bugs in it though and the inability to even save progress so far makes me not wanna play for another while.

It is pre alpha what did you expect .? It is version 0.01 , 0.02 will begin after two weeks . It'll be months until the game reaches finished state of 1.0 . Sometimes the game works great and you can see the potential . Can't wait to see how the game turns out in the end .

It's surprising to see a early access survival game that doesn't look a mod made by a 14 year old in 1999.

It's not pre-alpha, it's public alpha. The full version comes out in 16 days. It says all this on the main menu

The full game was supposed to launch like a week ago but they recently delayed it and then announced it was to be an early access game because certain things broke in the game and they needed time to fix them

You are wrong my friend . The game was always supposed to release as early access , not as a full game .

And full game is not coming out in 16 days . Check again ; As I said , version 0.02 of alpha will be released in 16 days not full game .

I know they said it would be early access but from the trailers it looked like a fully-released game.

I stand very much corrected. My bad I read the text wrong over the countdown.

That's even better news then, means more time to polish stuff before the final release, I was really worried there wasn't enough time to fix some glaring issues. Biggest gripe so far being enemies exploding when you dismember them

That's the reason why i don't like buying games in alpha. I looked really good, but i want to pay and play the proper version. I know it's an indie game, so it won't get completly polished, but i'm still waiting. It does seem to have quite some depth to it, with the whole infected blood and everything.

Also, the animations on the canibals getting attacked and backing away on the ground. Nice, i like that.

A major bug I saw with building stuff is it said a cabin needs like 30 logs and some sticks too but when you actually start building it, it says it needs just 80+ logs.

I also don't like the speed at which stuff is done, you can find rocks,twigs,leaves,sticks,food and logs all around you really really easily. I mean sure it's a forest and there would be plenty of that stuff around anyway but it all feels a little too "at my fingertips" right from the get go.

Natives also attack far too frequently right at the start of the game (for me anyway) and it feel like the game throws all it's bag of tricks at you right at the beginning and there's no build up or sense of tension after about a half hour.

I would love it if it took a "Don't Starve" approach where you had to build your own axe to chop down stuff and it degraded over time needing to be rebuilt., shelters could get attacked and have to be maintained (though that could actually be in the game I haven't seen it) and have more foreshadowing that enemies are coming. It's great in one sense that they just show up because it's very very surprising but hearing distant wails in the night would make you feel a lot more under pressure

The game visually looks amazing, and the gameplay implements are very intriguing (and relatively unique). Will definitely consider buying this game further along the development phase, possibly when the game reaches beta phase.

Yeah, same here.

I've been hyped for the game since day one, but i have no motivation to check it out in its current form, because i know it still needs a lot of work. Checking out the video is more than enough to satisfy my curiosity and put the game on hold until it's in, at least, beta.

I don't think so some how. TLOU on PS3 looks better. TLOU remastered 1080p will look better than this.

The fact that you'd even think of comparing TLOU, the text-book definition of a AAA in which millions have been poured in its budget and marketing, to an early alpha indie game created by 4 people, is the highest praise you could give these developers.

I agree. That is a high praise. And I am happy to give that praise. This game will look and play great at release. But I just don't agree that it will automatically be better graphics than any console game just because it's a PC exclusive.

Ofcourse it won't, it was just an exaggeration.
