The Other 99

I bought the game and played it. I didn't think there was enough content to keep so I wanted to refund it. A developer told me they were planning on adding things and continuing to develop it. They lied. It's been two years. No updates. Not even a conversation going on here. The game seems to be abandoned.

The hitboxes are broken, your character only does half of what you want him to, and there is no concept of stealth like the game advertised. I died several times only because the AI has infinite stamina and I don't. This would be acceptable if I was fighting some sort of monster, but the fact that I'm fighting other humans who are probably in worse physical shape than I am due to them being on the island longer doesn't help the game's case. This may be Early Access, but broken hitboxes, AI enemies that are infinitely stronger than you, and the inability to turn off the nauseating motion blur are all problems that I would expect the developers to fix before Early Access, or day one of EA. I might come back to the game later, but now, I'm taking my refund and leaving it at that.

[b]***[u]DO NOT BUY, ABANDONED GAME!!![/u]***[/b] Devs acknowledged an issue I reported on Steam forum on March 5th, 2017. See here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/415010/discussions/1/135510669600619675/ Last message on my tread by a dev was on March 20th, 2017 and the issue I reported is still not fixed. Because I'm concerned of my purchase, I tried to reach out to the devs trough the email they provided to Steam for support: no luck. I tried another one I found from their website: same thing. I also tried to speak with the devs on Steam (2 of them posted in my topic), still no luck... I think it's safe to say that the game is abandoned, last update was on 24th of February 2017 and devs ran away. If anyone reads my review and previously bought the game, please consider leaving a negative review as well to warn potential buyers and report the game so hopefully it will be removed from Steam.

Remove this game entirely from the store. The dev has flown the coup!

This is one of those games where steam really really REALLY needs a middling rating. It is overall good (for me at least on GTX750ti). It runs well with an occassional dip but nothing like stagger like one would suffer on something such as Ark. I like the map, though I hope the inhabitents become more diverse than "some cockney bloke and one black guy" according to a previous review. My only major gripe with the game is the combat. It's a mess, its lackluster, I'm constantly breaking autolock when trying to target my mouse and when I do succed in slaugther, it just isn't anywhere close to satisfying. With that said, I have an instinctual trust in these developers in particular and hope they improve on what they have to make something truly wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwauYsTKkU0&feature=youtu.be

Had to swap this review to a Positive Status. Basically, I wrote this review, posted these concerns on the forum and 2 weeks later, the Devs had implemented (fixed) everything that I said I didn't like. I have to swap this review to a positive one now. OLD REVIEW BELOW (Negative review) 1. Brilliant idea The premise of this game is amazing. No cheap back story, no "Lost My Memory" BS... it's a similar concept to movies such as "The Cube", Hunger Games, etc. Right now, hunger/stamina etc drain too quickly for my liking; it forces you to be moving, hunting - but I think it needs to be tweaked to about 75% of its' current drain rate. Combat, I don't enjoy it TBH. I understand why it is like it is.. and it would be MUCH better if I could use my own keybinds. Please let me disable the tutorial after the 4th run. it LITERALLY gets in the way of combat. Best I've got to so far is 84. I'm a scrub, I know... Time to go and die again. We need a Neutral Review option, STEAM!

I got very excited about this game. I love the idea of a survival game without the MP aspects. This one has a great feel to it, the graphics look great on my machine. I really wanted to love it. I play on PC because I prefer to game with a KB/M. I know some games are meant for a controller and I'll use one if I must, but in a FPSurvival? I want a mouse in my hand. And suddenly we have an issue. With a KB/M there IS no sneaking. You can crouch, but the actual machanic for it is tedious on a kb, versus the way you can with a controller stick. Then I hit combat. What a jumbled mess of twitchy, unresponsive stabbing in the dark. Slamming my mouse all over the place just to hit something? And half the time I was in some mouse mode where that does nothing so I being beaten on and not able to attack back? I don't get it. It seems they wanted something different and instead they tried to reinvent the wheel. What's wrong with Left Click Attack? Are we REALLY that desperate to need this mouse ...

Stay away from this. It looked promising and had potential, but seems to be abandoned. Forums are dead and no updates in months. The game stops once you get down to about 70 people. A note pops up saying this is how far they got and everyone will start respawning now.

Don't be fooled by the island setting with its hilltop radar tower, this isn't reminiscent of relaxed walking sim Dear Esther in the slightest! There's no atempt to sugar coat the violence here - more Battle Royale or Gantz than Hunger Games. Really really loved the premise, and the game's taking a risk that pays off in not spoon feeding it to you. The atmosphere, music etc are all great -as are touches like the wristwatch. Collectables and hidden secrets are already making the world feel alive. This is definitely not a blank heightmapped sandbox; the world has personality The problem is that everything's building really effective tension towards combat encounters which don't yet deliver the visceral thrills that they need to. It's in these moments that you're reminded that this is an Early Access title. Sadly, they also pulled me right out of the great atmosphere that had been building. When the other 99 kill each other, there's a neat in-world notification and a genuine thrill. Ri...

maybe after a lot of updates i can change this... If you give this game a good review you have very low standards. great idea,.. AMAZING idea,.. completely horrible implementation. the combat system is a failed gimmick right out of the box. renders the game unplayable IMHO -the lack of FOV slider makes you feel crouched the whole time. -the lack of controller config keeps the mouse sensitivity at MAX making it feel like your character is on a lot of speed. the motion is very bad, and the combat breaks the game, can't go further than that. it feels like you are in a slap fight.. it looks nice and it's an awesome idea this is EA, very EA, I understand that i really do,.. i play A LOT of EA game,.. and i hope they redo the combat system,.. cause thats the only way i'm repurchasing this.
