The Survivalists Reviews

one of the best games i ever experience, but i didn't even get to experience the co-op play yet but still a great game for solo and for co-op highly recommend it, I've been playing this game ever sense it first came out, give it a world guys you never know how much you would enjoy this game, and if you ever have the extra time, hit me up so we can play together

Quite addicting, the monkey mimic is a little hard to get used to but its nice to not have to do many things after a little while and with a few monkeys.

The game is pretty good for 2 bucks when it was on sale. I recommend it but to play it with friends is more fun

Played co-op in 2021- one of my favorite games in this genre. I especially like the monkey automation system that makes the usual repetitive survival sandbox game tasks go much faster later in the game so you can focus on new mechanics and goals

The game hangs occasionally. Also hits seem to take effect a second behind which is annoying too. The two factors together make the game not fun.

I really tried to like this one, but ultimately it just suffers too much from a wildly ineffective and convoluted control scheme, and far too little useful information on how to play despite MANY tutorials you will be constantly interrupted by at critical moments. I've seen it discounted up to 90%, so if you want to spend 3 bucks to try it out I guess go ahead, but this was just not an enjoyable experience for me.

I got this game on special, and for anyone else who gets it on special I'd say it's a good buy. I have around 11 hours clocked and this IS a thumbs-up but it comes with caveats. The controls are rather annoying. Trying to change what a monkey is holding is just about impossible if they are standing between two different constructions that can construct things. I have also accidentally traded things I wanted to keep with what a monkey is holding. The raid mechanic is a bit annoying and I died the first 2-3 times or so but once you get a hang of the game you can handle them pretty well. In the end, I'd personally prefer to play Minecraft or Terraria however if you can get this game at a low price then you can have some fun with it. I've had over 10 hours of MOSTLY enjoyment out of it and the annoyance of dying can be overlooked by ALT-TABing out of the game and ending the game without saving which can result in basically turning back time before having died. If it was as rough as Minecraft then I probably would have dropped the game some time ago. There are pros, there are DEFINITELY cons, it can be a bit of an annoying/angering game to play at times but it can also be fun. So yeah, as I recall I got it for WELL under $10 CAD (Canadian) which means under $7 US and I am GLAD I have spent that little on it. With Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I spent around $15 CAD but I found it to be such a damn good game that I felt GUILTY! I bought all of their DLC without researching it JUST to support the company and in the hopes they'd make a sequel and they MADE A SEQUEL! But anyhow, yeah, that's a series that lets you play a game that is set in 1403 in the Czech Republic (aka Czechia) which is probably the most realistic recreation of medieval life in videogames. This game, it kinda feels like more effort was put into visuals than gameplay... and that is never good. I mean, I do find the art nice and the whole monkey-controlling stuff is interesting however I cannot see this game bringing me back to it as regularly as minecraft or Terraria. Anyhow, I MAY get back to this game sometime and try it out some more, and it does have times in which it's interesting to get the monkeys working, but I can't really see this being a game I come back to like Minecraft or Terraria.

Seemed like a fun concept when I got it a few years ago. But the devs seem to have abandoned it. Recommend not getting until/unless they pay attention to it.

It is a good game though i would say to wait for a sale on it as its kinda overpriced and hasnt had an update since mid 2022

I got the game. and it was fun. I stopped playing after a while, then picked it back up again. all of the worlds I have made have been reset.
