Games

My favorite mod is Undead Legacy. It lets you craft schematics for the items you need by scrapping the ones you don't need. You can find cars in the world and repair them to full working order, including lights and sirens on police cars. The progression is much more granular with item tiers doing from H all the way up to S three stars, and that includes the item mods now. Your inventory is weight-based instead of slot-based (except for containers) and you can carry a much wider variety of gear.

If this mod sounds fun, I strongly recommend also adding the anti-bullshit sub-mod that someone made for UL.

They were too busy ruining the game by turning it into a repetitive grindfest.

I bet they wasted most of their time doing rewrites of various mechanics for no good reason.

The console versions were published by tell tale. And then tell tale died. So they couldn't update the console games at all. It's a night and day difference on PC to ps4.

I'd personally say its like a 7 or 8/10. Its probably the most mechanically varied and deep PvE focused survival game, but at the same time, it does really feel incomplete. Building lacks options, end-game content is often finicky or tideous, and performance issues can make the game near unplayable in enemy-dense regions.

The big thing to differentiate 7D2D is every seventh night you’ll be besieged by a zombie horde. You spend the week reinforcing your defenses, stockpiling ammo, and upgrading your gear, then you’re tested. If you’re interested in this kind of game loop, it’s worth a in-game week or two. Like many of these games, they’re more fun with friends.

It's fun and I enjoyed my time with it, but once you understand how the zombie waves work it's very, very easy to build a cheez defense against them, and then there's no difficulty anymore.

As long as you don't look up guides on how to build the cheese bases you'll enjoy yourself.

I don't care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it's very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there's some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn't feel with Valheim or Grounded.

Been coming back to it since the early days when it was blocky like Minecraft. Each big update we’d spin up a new world and dump 100+ hrs into it easily. Def worth giving it another shot

I played Valheim and Raft, and 7 days will keep you entertained for much longer. The blood moon mechanic is great, there is a nice skill and crafting system and going for a "loot" is very varied. I had 3 playthroughs with 1-2 friends the last 3 years, where one is around 70 hours for us before it get's boring.

This is probably in my top five games of all time. I think it really works if you try hard not to compare it to other games, and just play it on its own merit. It can definitely be janky, but that's part of the charm.

I've played about 1000 hours since alpha 19. I really like it. The majority of that time was with mods though.
