First Look

My first impression wasn’t great. The graphics didn’t do much to grab my attention right away.

My Reaction

What won me over was the map size, it’s massive. The game ran very smoothly, movement felt fluid and responsive. The performance held up well throughout. My only real complaint was the graphics; it’s not the prettiest game out there. Even so, I went ahead and bought 7 Days to Die.

Overview

7 Days to Die is an open-world survival horror game developed by The Fun Pimps. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, you scavenge, craft and build to survive.

What I Liked

  • The map is enormous; plenty of room to explore and scavenge.
  • Smooth performance and fluid movement throughout.
  • Responsive controls that feel tight and reliable.
  • The base-building and crafting systems are deep and rewarding.
  • The tension of the seven-day horde cycle keeps you constantly on your toes.

What I Didn’t Like

  • The graphics are dated and not visually impressive, but it’s Beta.
