Imagine I told you I was going to build you a house. I tell you that you can buy the house when its done, or you can pay for it now and if you pay for it now, not only will it be even better when it's done, but I'll actually give you a discount! You see the plans for the house and the discounted price and decide yeah, you're going to buy it now before it's done. Couple months later, theres just a foundation, some framing and the early stages of a plumbing system and I look at you and say, "Hey uh, I'm bored so I'm guna have my buddy finish this, maybe. I don't really know what he's guna do with it. But I'm guna go build a different house now. Enjoy!" Thats what this is. I can't believe this is legal.

WARNING: ABANDONED GAME Yet another abandoned game that had great potential and would be great even today, except as usual there are many game breaking bugs that were never fixed for 5+ years. - Items randomly disappear - Crafting an item fails; the end item poofs but you also lose the hard earned resources - Nothing in the game seems to respawn and yet you're expected to survive not to mention the game touts that it is built for multiple people; this makes it unsustainable for even 1 player - Saves are randomly wiped - Corruption of files between coop players - Interface fails to update skills bought and forces a restart of the game - Many "skills" don't actually function and were reported 3+ years ago from the date of this review - No real precise or comprehensive information to find out things about the game; trial an error is the only way and often is extremely obtuse. Anyway, another bummer in the massive floating bummer pile.
Another scam game from the same developer thats about to scam everyone with The Day Before.....
The Wild Eight...oh, the wild eight...the game that once was. I'm going to be firm but fair on this one - this game was really good at the time I was playing it, but that was many months-to-years ago. These days, alas, the only thing wild about this game is the codebase which now seems to have grown weeds, and there's an old rusted lawnmower out front. The lawnmower has no gas. If you ever want to know what the term "bitrot" means then this game is a prime example. I'll describe it as it once was: You're stuck in a plane crash on a desolate tundra with only your wits and your teammates to survive. You'll have to navigate forests and hunt wild game to find food, and keep the fires lit to stay warm. It's intense survival and it's really engaging just doing that by itself. To top it all off there's something mysterious about this landscape...something eerie and unsettling. Finding an old abandoned bunker you can't help but wonder what happened to the inhabitants of this facility, or what...
In dired need of Moderator/Official server. Cause this game is slowly dying. Upvote only because it was fun when there's people to play with.
14 hours into the game with my husband, and I'm not sure what issues people are referring to, that make the game "unplayable". We have had a few minor glitches/bugs but absolutely nothing that detracted from the game. I can only imagine those reviews were older, because for us, it has run nearly flawlessly (ie: maybe 2 minor glitches in 14 hours) As a casual gamer, this game has been easy to pick up, interesting to play, and just challenging enough to keep it interesting, not overly frustrating. The game also is very pretty visually, and the multiplayer is fantastic. Very pleased, and looking forward to the numerous updates planned by the Devs.
Very disappointing. concept is great but the game is low quality in movement and controls, you couldn't do certain quests for bugs and couldn't revive players. after 3 hours it was very frustraiting. Basically it is a game about eating. Even over warmth is eat. every 2-5 minutes you will eat. and it gets boring and repetitive you search for food cook food and eat, die from a pack of wolves that are way OP. because you can't see them in the trees due to the graphics so as you swing for the wolf you chop a tree instead. You Die then run from the start pick up your gear that breaks pretty fast and eat again. animal traps don't work. boots disappear quickly and waste material and time you need for eating so I just never wore shoes. don't waste your money. Disappointed that the game makers think this is how Alaska is! it should be named the Hungry Eight instead of the the Wild Eight.
The start of the game, especially with friends is fun. Me and my best friend are loot goblins and walked every inch of the map checked everything left no stone unturned, however near the end of the game it was garbage. It felt rushed left more questions than answers and not in a good way. There was tons of bugs and glitches, instances where missions that you've completed were left uncompleted, my friend or myself couldn't get to certain places if the other was too far because the game doesn't register. It feels more complete than when I first got it, but it is still a buggy mess. Side bar, why even have a mission to help someone out of the arcade, when it literally cannot be done?? Fighting was a disaster, co-op was a disaster I'd pass on this game if you want to save your sanity.
This is an ABANDONED game. There has not been an update made to it in over a year. The issues it had then are still there now. It can be fun but there are tons of quests that you start and just about a minute later as you have completed it by simply turning on an item you are left with a WTF moment. Your main base is incomplete in my opinion. There are glaring X's on rooms in the building with no access to them and then are rooms you have to hunt down the keys to open. Looks like a project started and never completed to me. There are quests where you work to find a solution to free a person who talks to you then you get everything done and either nothing happens or you find them long dead. How was a dead person talking to me? The game is meant to played co op or multiplayer obviously. There are just too many things you must do just to survive in this very harsh environment. There are things that are normal and then the supernatural appears to remind you the world you are playing is any...
It starts off strong. Positives: - Survival mechanics are pretty great, managing hunger, cold, health. - Great concept - Interesting storyline Negatives: - Bugs - Very bland, disappointing ending - Repetitive and strange pacing This could have been a really fantastic game. The style is great, the basic mechanics are pretty good. But it's clear the developers phoned it in pretty early. It's unpolished, buggy, and lacking just... Love. I was compelled to finish this as I wanted closure on the storyline and to see where this game went. Quality of the game degraded over the course of the story- less voice acting, worse performance, just falling flat on its face. I loved the premise, I enjoy the mechanics, but the pacing is strange. Harvesting resources tends to be unbalanced- getting leather and tendons vs. wood and ore, it's very skewed and can making crafting vastly unavailable. I want to recommend this but I just cannot. As great as it started, and as compelling as the concept is...
