You know I love you Ryan, but your taste in videogames (or more likely your desire to promote every single turd out there as long as it helps the Wii U) does not necessarily play so well with my own interests. I am hoping for a second opinion on this.

People of the world: How do you like How to Survive?

Don't waste you're time and money on it. The game is mediocre at best and is missing online co op. I bought it and was disappointed with it for a few reasons....

 

1. It's a short game, they have some great ideas in there but the game is too short and a lot of the stuff you might or might have enjoyed just doesn't have enough time or content to flesh out so to speak. 

2. No online co op

3. Weapons pretty much suck, though some of the melee stuff like boomerangs can be pretty awesome once you upgrade them. 

4. I believe the level cap is at 15, I dislike the level cap and some of the stuff on the upgrade tree should have been a part of your basic skills, like lighting a fire.

5. The voice acting is horrible. Everyone has a sterotypical voice.

I would rate the game a 5.5/10, it can be fun but gets boring really fast.

Thank you for your reply, can I get you to go into a littl emore detail about a couple of things?

Basically, I don't care if the voice acting is terrible or that the game probably looks like shit. Also, I don't care if the weapons are lame as I am not looking for some sort of shooting experience, the less I need to use weapons the better. I am concerned about a shallow skill tree though, but most importantly, is it possible to build your own shelters and can they be upgraded?

Finally, just how short is it and is it possible to play through it on one life?
