“7 Days to Die achieves exactly what it sets out to be. It’s a fun and intense post-apocalyptic sandbox with all the right mix of base-defense, scavenging, and exploration.”
8.3 – Shoost

“7 Days to Die is like Minecraft with Gravity. Building defenses with friends and huddling in the corner hoping no zombies get through can be great fun. But what keeps me coming back to the game is the TNT.”
Kotaku

“7 Days to Die looks genuinely impressive, and I can’t see this not making a huge impact when it arrives.”

Notice: I may not have many hours but I don't just play on this account.

7 days to die in my opinion at release, was very flawed and a really really crude version of what this game is today. I'm glad that the developers really fixed a lot of these issues such as sound design, crafting and other misc bugs. You may think the sound design is still bad but it was horrible at release and I would not reccomend it then. Another major problem with this game is the balancing. Loot, weapon damage and zombie health are extremely unproportional to eachother. For example a large slow moving zombie will have way less health than a faster moving crawling zombie. Actually, I remember building a small house and a crawler broke my wooden door and I shot it five times in the head to kill it. The vanilla game to be honest is horribly designed. Of course this is only my opinion and that's why thankfully the developers have added modding support. This is the only reason I would recommend this game, if a zombie has too much health? Mod it and change the stats. You may be saying to yourself "Yeah. but won't that require a lot of work and coding?".

The answer is no because the game takes advantage of XML (EXtensible Markup Language) and someone with no previous knowledge of programming can edit these files. For example with no previous knowledge of modding 7 days to die (I just used the code the developers put there as an example) I made a full mod pack that included.

-Usable Ovens (I reused code from the campfire and also got a cool particle effect to work with it too)
-Craftable Gun Parts

Normally you find gun parts in the wasteland and have to read the schematic for them to be able to put the thing together. (I disagree with this method) In my mod when you find the schematic for a gun you learn how to make the parts for it at my custom workbench I added called the Weapon Press and you can always disassemble and assemble guns without knowing the schematic.

-Improved Loot
Gun safes actually spawn guns now!

-Guns have their actual names instead of just "Pistol" and "Sniper Rifle"

-Damage tweaks to all guns

-Zombie health tweaks

-Light Class System

-Prepper Class
Hunting Rifle
Basic Civilian Clothing
Military Ration (Feature of mod)
80x 762 Round
Hunting Knife
Tactical Bacon (Feature of mod)

-Merc Class
N-PAP AK47 (Yugoslavian Semi Auto AK) reciever can be replaced with rare AKM reciever for full auto. (Feature of mod)
Military Uniform
Military Ration (Feature of mod)
NVG Goggles
90x 762 Rounds
Machete
Tactical Bacon (Feature of mod)

-Civilian Class
Civilian Clothing
44 Magnum
16x 44mm Rounds

Of course with all of these tweaks it would be too easy, right?
WRONG!

My mod which my friends and I have jokingly named "1 Day to Die" is a mod that tweaks every aspect of the game to improve it and make it less annoying, except for zombies. The zombies will now completely screw you up during the day all the zombies have certain traits defining traits rather than just looking different such as the smaller zombies running at you with the cost of having low health and the bigger zombies moving slow but having a large amount of health. At night the zombies can come at your base relentlessly (if you do not have a well protected base it's all over!)

I know that many people will disagree with my changes that's why I just made the mod for myself.
(Though, if anyone wants I will gladly make a forum page and link it here.)

That sums my experience with 7 days to die if you hate certain aspects of survival games this is the chance to fine tune one to your liking! Who knows, maybe if you make a nice looking page on the forums for your modpack, a content creator might take a look at it and do a playthrough of it. As I know certain YouTubers love to play 7 days to die modpacks!

Much more fun with friends, has a lot of potential, enjoying how it can be chill or intense and you have a measure of control of your risk. More enjoyable to me than other crafting games like minecraft have been. It's a lot more basic so far in terms of building. The skill tree's are great too.

Ignore the low hours on this game. I used to not have internet.... Anyway I have been playing this game since it was pretty clunky, under $20, and the way the game is evolving it really is becoming my favorite survival base building game. I can't wait to see it complete. THat being said I think that the grapics could be better and some things are really broken but I really enjoy the gameplay and thats what a game is supposed to be about.

Crashed on 'loading gaming' - Tried again, got in - boring game, unfortunately.

Before you trashtalk, I love Rust and this type of games - but this game just left me wondering what the goal was to? Also, what the heck is going on with that building system.. weird as hell :/

After 500+ hours of playing I honestly have to say that the game is getting better and better with each patch released. Sure there are things that are still broken (expected). Sure it could be much more polished. But even at current state it's incredibly fun especially if you can get a buddy or two to play it with you.

Before I get to why I'm giving this game a negative vote, let me say this: 7 Days to Die, known as 7DTD, is a very fun to play game with great gameplay concepts, fun gameplay, gritty but decent quality visuals, sharp sound, and strong productiom values for being in Alpha.

But here in lies the problem. It's still in Alpha, and the Fun Pimps have already shifted focus to porting and supporting it on consoles after they've drained the majority of the PC community, and are now ignoring updating the game in light of furthering their cash grab. They have a solid game IN DEVELOPMENT, but they're more focused on capitalizing on a still buggy and incomplete product than they are on actually supporting it. I understand it's a small team, but 2 months between minor updates? What the fu......

Do not recommend buying it unless the Devs can pitch out 6 months of constant updates again minimum. Great game development degraded to a blatant cash grab.

Fun game. In early stages of development. Challenging to play, until you get the hang of it, then it's pretty easy. After your character is maxed out and your base is built, there's not much else to do in this game at that point. Each major update comes with new fun things to try out. Game needs to add more content such as quests or missions or some type of long term goals that make people want to come back to the game over and over.

Selected a PVE server so I wouldn't be blown to tiny pieces by people.
Got set up gathered a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of resourses.
Got bored of having decent stuff and living in a hole in the ground.
Looked for an island.
Found an island.
Destroyed the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ looking sand area to make it look good.
Placed a fence and some spikes around it to avoid zombies.
Invited random new people in the server to join the island.
1 week later there are 12 people living in the island with everyone having a house.
Call it Republic of Island.
Raid towns/cities with 2-3 dudes with mallets for fun.

Now since A15 is coming soon and a server wipe is coming, we as a group are mass producing TNT and blowing up everything in sight!

It can get boring on your own in here, but the PVE multiplayer servers are friggin awesome! Also there are PVP servers that are a different type of fun ;)

7 Days To Die

It's amazing. And here's why.

7 Days To Die is an atmospheric survival sandbox that offers such a unique feeling that it's actually refreshing to play. It wouldn't be fair to compair to other survival games, but comparing it to other early access titles, it delivers with frequent updates(good ones as well, not minor text fixes.).
Never have I been more afraid than when I was scavenging a small farm before nightfall, only to realize that it's almost ten P.M and that the zombies would soon start running after me. Being so scared, I took refuge in a tool shed, closed the door and hoped to wait it out(alive.). Nope.
First I only heard many footsteps rummling through the grass, after that, it became scarier. The zombies started tearing down the walls of the shed and the sound of it made my bones shiver. I exited to the main menu, and went on to waiting for my friend to get in game.

Pros

Genuinly atmospheric game play, really makes you involved and keeps you on your toes.
Everything is buildable(within gravitational reasoning of course, unlike Minecraft's no gravity logic.), and everything can be destroyed. You can even dig down, which I love, personally.
Game has been massively optimized since it launched and I can't help but love the devs all the more for it.(At the start, getting barely 20 FPS on low, nowadays, getting 40-60 on High settings.)
Constant fear of hordes, or anything else that will kill you.

Cons

Sound can be a bit dodgy, you'll hear something walking towards you and you'll turn around and see a zombie cc.50m behind you. Can be helpful, but just adds to the stress.
There's character customization, but I can't but feel it's lacking at the moment. Not like it's a big con, it still doesn't affect the game at all. I would just personally like a bit more choice other than haircut and hair colour.
Minibikes are relatively new to the game, but are still a bit dodgy to use. Nevertheless, still a great addon.

In conclusion, if you're a fan of open world sandbox survival zombie games, and are wondering if this is just another early access game that will ♥♥♥♥ you over.
No, no it won't.

Get it, you won't regret it.

Preferably get a few friends to play with you, might get lonely in the wilderness.

7 Days to Die is a very good game. You use your character, which you either create or use a preset, to scavenge, farm fight, and survive in one of two map options, Navezgane, their hand crafted survival map, or a randomly generated world.

Gameplay Elements:

You are most of the early game, in an up hill battle trying to keep your hunger and thirst, along with a third, "wellness" bars high, while trying to avoid zombies, and if you play multiplayer, people. You have to manage your inventory well, you never know when you will get something very vital to survival, but not have enough room for it, but that goes without saying in most games like these. On another note, every 7 days, as the name implies, a horde of zombies appears, And as the weeks go on, the hordes get progressively harder. This adds a really good pacing to the game, keeping you on your toes.

Things I personally don't really like:

- My computer specs WELL surpass the reccomended specs, but still get god-awful frames.
- Ehhh, the schematics annoy me sometimes, but they do add a good gameplay element if you look at it that way.

Conclusion
All in all this game is rather good. 8.5/10.

If you disagree, with anything I said here, or if I have said anything wrong about this game, please let me know in the comments!
