With Day Z and H1Z1 already announced for consoles and Ark: Survival Evolved already out on Xbox One and coming to PS4 soon, there will eventually be no place for games like 7 Days to Die. While the crafting heavy, zombie survival genre is oversaturated on PC, console players have been waiting for ports for what seems like forever. The biggest thing the game has going for it is that it’s the only game like it on PS4 at the moment (not counting Minecraft), and it’s one of the very few games like it on Xbox One. With patches already out and some fixes already announced, it’s clear the developers knew about the technical mess the game is, but decided to release it anyway. But if you’re a little more patient, and have a friend or two to play with, you might just end up having a ton of fun.ħ Days to Die should not have been released in its current state.

If you’re the kind of person who is easily frustrated by those technical problems, this is not the game for you. In those few hours I was disconnected from multiple online games, experienced constant slowdowns, and had the game freeze on me twice. Within a few hours of playing 7 Days to Die I knew this was not a good game. Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Xbox One, Microsoft Windows
