Like Minecraft, the two main game modes – Survival and Creative – offer different experiences for different moods and tastes. There’s six difficulty settings (from the noob Scavenger to the self-explanatory Insane), Zombie Run speed, enemy spawn rates, daylight length, how aggressive zombies are (whether they walk, run or both and if they can sense you behind walls), how long they pursue you in real-time seconds, and how long a day lasts for increased control over your personal survival experience. Prior to generating your world, you can tinker with several options. The unique hook here is the zombie hordes and the increased emphasis on desperate scavenging and fortification of safe bases to survive the world’s undead threats. The game is played from the first-person perspective, and players can interact with the world via crafting, destroying, looting and manipulating the environment and its objects, all attached to working physics system which keeps things in check, such as unstable buildings. The core gameplay in 7 Days To Die will be appealing and familiar to anyone who enjoys voxel-based crafting mechanics, open-world exploration and sandbox-approaches to gaming – similar to games like Ark: Survival Evolved, Minecraft, and Terarria. Knowing its PC roots, I prepared myself for a port with less content and features. What I was unprepared for and what console-only players will likely be disappointed by is the terrifying sight of low-res muddied textures, reduced view distance and heavy fog surrounding the world – much scarier than the bloodthirsty zombies which inhabit it – and the instability and game-breaking bugs which plague the game even past its first few patches.īut let’s talk about the strengths of the package, first. It’s still an Early Access game on PC via Steam, but the price-tag and retail case for the game doesn’t say so. But this PC to console port is anything but competent.įirst thing’s first: 7 Days to Die on console is based off an earlier Alpha build. Its survival-horror crafting simulation is something console players have wanted for years, and its incredibly deep gameplay systems are fun and rewarding for those who invest time in learning them. It’s clunky, ugly and requires a ton of patience to enjoy, but it’s hard to deny the appeal of 7 Days to Die on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
