After a year of this game being out, unfortunately i have to say no to this game.
why? you may ask. this is the reason why;

firstly After a year you would expect the major bugs in the game to be fixed but personally after playing about 30 minutes recently i had Graphical issues saves issues and many more which i know that the community has been complaining about from the start.

secondly Im finding alot of frame and optimization problems, i can not keep a stable FPS even on a small city and no mods and on a SSD. This is another thing that im aware that the community have been saying and the devs have not fixed this.

Thirdly have the mods still in beta after a year later if ridiculous, this game does rely on mods to stay alive and not allowing the steam workshop is in my personal opinion is wrong. There is a lack of mods due to the devs making it so hard to mod this game.

These are a few reason why i dislike this game and dislike what the devs are doing and how slow they are moving to get the game in a better state. This game should be still in early access in my opinion. I was hyped for this game to be out but unfortually im uninstalling this game till if or when this game is in a better state

Unfortunately i'm having to give this game a dislike, here's why;
Dont get me wrong, this game would have a great potential to be a great game if the devs continued to work on this game. this game is unfinished.
It is very buggy to the point that the AI get stuck within the space station.
Lack of content within the game, after a while it gets quite boring. Personally i completed the campaign and most of the challenges in under 3 hrs of playing.
The devs have abandoned this game is still asking top dollar ($29.95AUD) for an unfinished game that they havn't even updated in the last 2 years at this point of the review.

Like i said this game would have great potential if it was still being worked on, as far as i have seen this is the only game out there that is like this hence why i got it when i did back in 2021.

This game is very addicting even for a full time supermarket manager like me.

I get that this game is still early access and there is alot of work to make this game a great game (not saying it isn't a great game, I meant a better game).

Things I love about this game:
Love the fact that I can make the supermarket look like the way i want.
Being able to have different variety of stock to put on the shelves.
How the customers are random I.E on how some days can be busy and some days can be very quiet.
Being able to fire a cashier and be on the registers when you get bored.

Things i would like to see improved:
-AI does need to be improved, so if a register is un-maned the customers should prioritise going to a manned register.
-Better customisation
-Another place to put the empty boxes (box crusher ETC)
- automated Stock re-filler
- thefts (so security cameras etc)
- shop can get dirty
- Love to keep working all night not just at 9pm.
- i get orders can stop till morning or atleast pre-order for next day and being able to order more then 10 items at a time
- increased AI check out speed.

Thats all i can think of right now and like i said, i know that this game is in early access and some of these things i have mentioned is already planned for the future which is great, however saying that i really do recommend this game. alot of gameplay and has great potential if this game is constantly being worked on. really looking forward to what this game will have on full release.

I really do like this game, graphics look really pretty and game runs nice and smooth, different game play to other survival games

however i am really concerned of the future of this game, has the devs forgotten about this game, notice that there hasn't been an update for about 3 years now, really would like this game to continued to be worked on.

To be completly honest, im not 100% sure if i dislike the game or like it, i've being finding it really hard to focus on the game like i want to due to motion sickness even after turning the stuff off that im fully aware that causes motion sickness, which did surprise me that this is a thing when DL 1 i had no problems what so ever with the game giving me motion sickness.

From what i have played of the game, and i will admit it isn't really much as i can only play 20 minute batches before i feel really nausea and dizzieness (which is a shame) it is a really good looking and fun game, i just wish that there was a fix for the FOV could be further away or what ever the company has changed between DL 1 and DL 2

So at the moment im going to have to leave this as a dislike on this game due to not being able to playing it, i will defiently give this game another shot if these things are fixed as i am a huge fan of DL 1

very great game, even though it is still work in progress however with the game/map being developed in stages is a realy good idea in my opinion, 1 thing i would liek to see is maybe a little bit of dynamic weather like having it rain every now and then. I think that would be a great addition.

I do love this game, having different varieties of zombies in the game and love the whole survival aspect to it, however personally i would love to see more variety of guns and ammo, also another thing i would love is the game needs to be better optimised. i have i high end pc (RTX 2080 TI 36GB memory OC also a ryzan 9 3900x CPU also OC) that loses frames on the late hoard nights.. once i have a lot a stuff around to defend my base and also the zeds coming in to attack i lose about 30-40 FPS.

Another thing i would like to see is for those that play PVE, maybe add an option to have Roaming AI in the game, so that way you raid AI bases or they come at you in one of the blood moons. That would be a great feature.

apart from that like i said, love this game, keep up with the great work and hope to see a great game at the end.

i do recommend this game, plent of resources around of map. great graphics but does need some work however. list does get longer with the game that is great. but i do have 1 quick question, where is the CO-OP mode? i see official servers but not host your server like it says in store page, well thats my though of co-op using your own internet.

I recieved this game from a firend thinking that we could play on our own and not having to rent a server or join a public one.

great game, i highly recommend this game, great grapics and is a challenge at the start. However This game does feel real repedative build pock shark, dive under water, eat ETC. i feel that yes it is early access so alot can change between now and full release, but personally i would add into the game multiple sharks comes along and attacks your raft and you, with that i mean yer start off with one shark then one night/day another one or more can turn up. also have more things in the crate that you pick up example would be like a building part (a door) just to make thing worth while to get the crates

just taks so long to get to point B from point A, esspically in the tutorial, just so wong going at 5 knotes from 7km away, im a guy with alot of paicence however this does game peaks over that line. i may recommend if the boats go faster and if the crew in the boat also got to work a little faster.
