I like this game and would love to rate it higher, but multiplayer just doesn't work. I can never find my friend's game and he can't find mind. We opened the ports listed in the forums here and even tried hanging out in the DMZ, but no dice.

Fantastic game I recommend it to fans of survival games or horror games. I recommend giving the manual a read first since it helps give you a feeling for how to approach the game.

The ability to create professions and custom characters adds a lot to the game as well.

Feels flat. Combat seems to be bumping into enemies while rapidly clicking. Nothing seems to be searchable. Given that, the world feels good and is attractive.

Short and entertaining. It's definitely a great look into the daily **** call center employees have to deal with.

A fun playthrough. The game is short, but that is a good thing. Just as I was getting bored with it, I finished.

As others have said, the gameplay is all basketball based, but that doesn't it keep it from being innovative and fun. There are a few parts that I felt like I only beat by taking advantages of glitches, but the story made me work through them.

Missing a save feature, but so much fun. The game is one of the most immersive I've played in a long time. It can be challenging if you just run, but if you take your time and plan your moves you'll have success.

The menu screen runs super slow. Didn't grab me at all.

NEO Scavenger is a fun survival and scavenging game. It can be very difficult but a mildly successful playthrough is incredibly satisfying. I've started maybe ten games and have been enjoying it greatly. A little more tweaking and we'll have a hell of a game on our hands here.

That said, the alpha version has some issues however. I find the inventory management tedious. It's very hard to put things into bags and take them out. There needs to be a way to easily empty a container. Takings pills out of bottles over and over again gets old.

Combat can be insanely difficult. The only thing rare than a gun is a bullet. Even a character with strong, tough, melee combat and a cleaver only has a small chance of taking down an unarmed looter. There is no indication of how strong weapons are. I have a hard time judging whether what I should be arming myself with. If you do manage to flee your combat cuts often lead to infection even with some anti-biotics and immediate bandaging. This infection will kill you. I have never survived one, even as a medic with a stockpile of food, clean water, bandages, anti-biotics and a heated, sheltered camp... apparently you need to wash the wounds. This wasn't obvious to me since there is no indication that they are dirty.
