What an absolute masterpiece of chaos! Got this game on sale for less than the price of a round of drinks and roped in three friends to join the madness. We crash-landed on the peninsula, and within five minutes, we were arguing over who got to carry the turtle shell. Priorities, right?

Day one, we built a shelter. By "shelter," I mean a wonky lean-to that collapsed because someone chopped down the wrong tree. Day two, one friend discovered how to make Molotov cocktails, another accidentally set themselves on fire, and the rest of us laughed until we cried. Day three, we were all screaming as an entire mutant family ambushed us during dinner. Michelin-starred cannibal cuisine, anyone?

The crafting system is pretty solid, though we spent way too long figuring out how to build a zipline. Turns out, you don’t need one when you’re too scared to leave the base at night. The survival mechanics are top-notch—nothing bonds a group of friends like panicking over who forgot to stock up on food while we were busy decorating our cabin with skulls.

Multiplayer is where this game shines. Between the accidental team-kills, the frantic scrambling when someone yells, “CANNIBALS!”, and the sheer joy of trolling each other, it’s worth every penny. Haven’t tried it solo yet, but honestly, I’d miss the chaos too much.

10/10—perfect for ruining friendships while dodging mutants.
