You wake up naked, bits swinging freely in the breeze! Somehow stowed on your previously prone body are a rock, and a torch, where these were kept is probably best left to the imagination. How did you get here? What is your name? How do you get off the island!? All of these questions and more will never be answered, but it doesn't matter, you're here now, best make the most of it. Wandering the island, you come across a similarly sparse character, you shout over to say hi... Thwack! An arrow to your cranium... You wake up naked, bits swinging freely in the breeze! Somehow stowed on your previously prone body are a rock and a torch... And so it continues, you soon realise that you need to avoid these encounters early on. Bide your time, build yourself a small wooden hut, get some essential mining tools and find yourself some grub to tide you over. Throughout the next few hours, you'll slowly discover blueprints and other items that will assist you against the bullies of the server. Your basic wooden hut will become a reinforced armoured palace of worthiness, your bow and arrow will become a fully equipped rifle or AK-47 complete with scope and high-velocity rounds. Now you become a target for another reason entirely, you're too well equipped, and others are now worried about you. This rinse and repeat formula could get tiresome very quickly, but on a nicely populated server of people you know it is a good laugh. Encounters may or may not end with the conflict, people can and will sometimes help you out with a drop here and there, it's great fun! The great thing is that FacePunch studios, led by Garry Newman, is always evolving the game. I may disappear from the game for a few months, but I always look forward to seeing how it has changed on my return. With new balancing, plentiful and varied 'monuments' and different gear all around. ##Pros • Constantly evolving • Huge player base • Mod enabled ##Cons • Sometimes toxic servers (find another!) • Not overly noob friendly ——— Original ratings: • Visual Design: 8/10 • Sound Design: 7/10 • Gameplay: 9/10 • Longevity: 9/10 • Fun: 8/10
