The Last Plague: Blight

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I am a survivalist nerd, but am disabled and would never be able to do bushcrafting in real life. Since I saw a negative review mentioning this game being "too realistic/tedious" I wanted to sing its praises for JUST THAT. I have only played for a few hours but that's pretty good considering I just bought the game last night. And it's literally my dream come true. My personal list of pros: -I am an artist so I have a Mac but it can handle the (absolutely beautiful!) graphics of this game. -so much detail to crafting that it feels immersive -there are no zombies! so far anyway... Don't get me wrong, I love a good survival zombie game, but I was really hoping to find something more focused on bushcrafting types of survival. That's this game! -Is it repetitive? Kinda at the beginning here but for those of us who like to relax while playing, you

So, I've had this on my wishlist for a while. I saw it today and said "screw it, I'm gonna buy it". I'm really glad I did. The game by all means is pretty green and still has a lot to do, mind you. With that in mind, I jumped in and gave it a whirl. Things are not what they seem. This game is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The systems from building to cooking, smelting, tanning, etc. are actually surprisingly in depth without being overwhelmingly brain frying. You really have to pay attention to what you're doing. Things that would decay in real life like food, well, they decay. You have to hit the right mixture of salt and water to prep a hide for tanning efficiently. Smelting requires proper mixes of metals for proper quality finished metal. Cooking is a finesse art of the right amounts of ingredients. It quickly becomes "human destroys the environment" simulator, as you start utilizi

Interesting game. I started by turning off both tutorial tasks and hints. I also enabled a more realistic play style which disables player location on map. Then the player has to rely on using the compass, signs and recognizing terrain features. The start is in the wilderness, with a backpack, steel hatchet, steel knife, bedroll, compass and food for one day. There are plenty of resources spread over a large map which is procedurally generated. On my map there are 8 villages. The closest was covered by a toxic fog, a blight which according to the story, spreads. The player will have to find a cure to it. The beginning is quite relaxed: I had to boil water, catch rabbits with a snare and cook them. And in the spare time to build up some basic technologies: protection from rain, storage, make kilns... Next steps seem to be to create metal tools and weapons and prepare to go into the swamp.

Decided to buy the game, even though I believe there is still a lot to do to have a first version that actually has an ending. The biggest problem right now is not having a finish event. You keep on surviving until hopefully the developer will create one. Other than that the game mechanics are at a good level and the whole survival concept is refreshing. Thank god it's not another survival game with zombies! I noticed that there were many updates being done that solved previous balancing issues, it's clearly better than a 2 months ago. For the dev - I've read the road map and I suggest to focus more on quests and new things to discover - having character customization is not going to add more to the gaming experience. You can add more items, buildings, etc, but without a proper quest / story line / a real need for them it will quickly become boring. I already started to ask myself why

I have no idea about the story, or how it turns out, so I can't comment on that. As a survival game it is perfect. The crafting recipes appear to be fairly realistic, with multiple stages to make even simple tools... but without the pointless MMO grind for insane amounts of resources. I played 11 or 12 hours of the demo, and have played 4 hours (which is roughly 2 or 3 in game days) of the full game and have found it to be a very relaxing experience, with always something to aim for and keep busy on. If you are looking for an action orientated experience, you probably won't find it here. Combat is totally avoidable for the most part. If you want a game that simulates walking round the countryside looking for the right plants, so you can make some salt, to make a salt solution so you can treat animal hides before they are dried into leather... this is the one for you. Well worth the price

I was going through my Steam library today, particularly my early access list, and was saddened by the amount of abandoned games I found. I know you're a solo developer, and this game is your first (at least, that I know of), but Sergei, keep going. I love this, the brutality of it all. This is special. This is your passion project. The gaming world needs this. I really hope you see it through for everyone's sake. We're here....to play your game.
