Mist Survival Reviews

Very buggy and barebones game. I bought it years ago and it isn't any better.

Wayyy too many bugs, only allowed to go certain places on the map, all tunnels are closed ( atleast on my version)...

Nice graphics and sound effects.

Have played this game since launch on and off over the years got my moneys worth that's for sure so to finally give it a negative review was a conflicting issue for me . But now i have given up on the game i feel i would like to express my disappointment in its development i have lost faith in this ever being a fully polished in depth survival game. progress is painfully slow and each new feature added seems break a existing mechanic just to many bugs to even list still after seven years falling through ground into nothing is common etc , and reworking the old map instead of just creating new zones seems futile ,we had two zone now just one playable second zone has been shrunk basically down to one small town so again we will have to wait years for the rest of the zone to be usable again one step forward two steps back........ not what i call progress . Also having a dev console available on all version ruins the immersion when you know you can simply spawn items as desired ( same reason i never play scum single player ) i can not recommend this as a true survival game it has its fun moments , but in the end the developer has just dropped the ball by the time this game is finished ( assuming ever does ) my great grand kids will be born and heck i don't even have grand kids yet so yeah if your looking for a new survival game to play id just go with a survival game that has a larger development team and a more clearer direction this game will never be anything more then a side project for the developer

The whole mist thing is very unsettling. It's missing random screaming in the atmosphere. Man and Beast. That would make it perfect for me. The graphics are very nice and they made a good job in the lighting. The experience feels believable most of the time. Sound design is kind of a let down, I expect a more audible impact to my ears when firing. Animations are not as bad as youtube comments tend to portray them. A nice game, from which I expect a good development. Buy it, You have probably bought Dayz standalone on lauch anyways.

Nice Game! U doing great, slow and steady. Try to ignore the hate, most of them dont know how much work is behind that. Love u.

I found out about Mist Survival from watching Fooster back in 2022, but I hadn’t picked the game up until now. I have to say, I’m really glad that I did. It’s quickly become one of my favorite survival games. The atmosphere is great. It actually feels eerie and immersive without overdoing it. There are also a lot of clever little mechanics that make it stand out, for example, like needing pencils to mark your location on the map and the way backpack upgrades work. You need to be smart about how you manage your stuff and use your surroundings to figure out where you are. Details like that just make it feel more engaging than a lot of other games in the genre. As someone who’s more of a casual player, I think the balance here is spot on. Of course, people have different preferences when it comes this kind of stuff, but for me, it hits that sweet spot between the super hardcore survival sims (where you're tracking every tiny detail) and games that feel way too easy. Yes, there are some minor bugs, but nothing game-breaking in my experience. The game is made by a small team, and as far as I can tell they have been actively working on it, so I’m confident it’ll keep improving over time. I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews, but honestly, I think people forget it’s still in early access, and that it’s only $11. For that price, you get a ton of content and a solid experience. I’ve had more fun with this than with some $40 or $50 games made by much bigger studios. If you’re into survival games and don’t mind a bit of early-access roughness, Mist Survival is absolutely worth checking out.

This game was great when it first came out, now its a laggy mess of a game that barely plays properly.

So many bugs, so many frustrating mechanics. Bandit respawn allmost instantly, ATV fuelgage not working, standing at the workbench no hint of what tool you need to build something to name a few.... Only positive right now is, it's not abandoned, so maybe it will get better in another 5 years.

I really really really try to love this game because it has massive potential. But what is with Game devs these days jumping the gun and bringing out a broken game....... which is fine just as long as it improves which sadly this one has not. I stopped playing this game in 2023 and now its mid 2025 i figured "lets give it another go" because in 2023 there were so many bugs, game breaking frustrating bugs....... being 2 years later now surely massive improvements but i feel the game has taken a massive step back. Game dev seems too busy adding new shit to even be bothered fixing the game breaking bugs, it is wildly frustrating playing this game, i have never wanted to punch the computer screen as much as i have when playing this game and i come from the Ark survival beta days, This game makes Legacy Ark Survival look like a finished masterpiece. I'll pop back in after another 2 years and hopefully things are better but i am not gonna expect them to be as 2 years has passed since i last played it and i feel there has been no improvements, Sure vehicle re-skins are great and all but FIX THE DAMN ISSUES first!!!
