English : Hello, good evening, and all the best. SCUM is one of my favorite survival games. The End. (Just kidding) I've spent 760 hours on it and I still want to go back. There's so much to do that sometimes you don't do anything because you don't know what to do first. Between survival, combat, managing your base, exploring, being a mechanic, getting killed, there's always something to keep you busy. What I love is the very realistic survival aspect. You start with nothing and little by little you build your own home or steal someone else's. Finding food, upgrading your equipment, dying, starting over, and stockpiling supplies... Even if you sometimes die and lose everything, it's still fun and enjoyable to play and replay. The combat is also excellent. You can play stealthily, even if honestly it doesn't often work (maybe I'm just bad at it), charge in, or try to fend for yourself. Combat with zombies or other players can quickly become stressful, but hey, we manage. You never really know what's coming. Vehicles—what a joy to crash into trees with friends because one of them can't drive straight (despite the perfectly straight road). Whether it's to go scavenging for loot or simply cruising aimlessly while enjoying the scenery, these moments make the game so enjoyable. For me, SCUM is much better in co-op. Building a base with friends is really something. My favorite part was when we set up camp by the sea. We built a big jetty to fish in peace. In the evening, we'd sit and watch the sunset, chatting on Discord after a day of looting bunkers. It was simple, but those kinds of moments make the game special. And I think one of the things that still makes me laugh is the raffle when you poop. Real SCUM players know what I'm talking about. Every time, it's like opening a completely absurd loot box. You never know what you're going to get. My best haul was an apple (which I obviously ate) and a can opener, which actually came in handy. We were in stitches over something so ridiculous, but it was funny, so it was a win. The game continues to receive updates with new content. There's always a new reason to jump back in and start over. To sum it up in a few words, SCUM is a real gem for anyone who loves survival games. Whether it's for the combat, the building, the vehicles, or just chilling with friends, I've had so many adventures and so much fun playing it that I could hardly ever get tired of it. In the end, it's not necessarily the big loot drops or the most intense battles that I remember most, but simply the evenings with my friends fishing on our dock while watching the sunset, or me having to farm everything because my friends are lazy, or that delicious apple if you forget where it came from. For that alone, I love this game. I highly recommend it! (I told you, just a few words ;) ) ------------------------------------------------------- Français : Bonjour, bonsoir, et bon tout. SCUM est l'un de mes jeux de survie préférés. Fin ( Blague ) J'y ai passé 760 heures et j'ai toujours envie d'y retourner. Il y a trop de choses à faire que parfois on fais rien parce qu'on sait pas laquelle faire en premier. Entre la survie, les combats, gérer sa base, les balades, être mécano, se faire tuer, on a toujours qui nous occupe. Ce que j'adore, c'est le côté survie très réaliste. On commence avec rien et petit à petit on se construit son chez-soi ou on vole celui d'un autre. Trouver de la bouffe, améliorer son équipement, mourir, recommencer et faire des réserves... Même si parfois on meurt et on pers tout ça reste amusant et agréable a jouer et recommencer. Les combats sont aussi excellents. On peut jouer discrètement même si honnêtement ça marche pas souvent ( après c'est peut-être moi qui est nul ), charger dans le tas ou essayer de se débrouiller. Les combats avec les zombies ou les autres joueurs peuvent vite devenir stressant mais bon, on se débrouille. On ne sait jamais vraiment ce qui nous attend. Les véhicules, quel bonheur de se bouffer des arbres avec des potes parce qu'un certain pote ne sait pas conduire droit ( malgré la route parfaitement droite ). Que ce soit pour partir chercher du stuff ou simplement rouler sans but en profitant du paysage, ces moments rendent le jeu si agréable. Pour moi, SCUM est largement meilleur en coopération. Construire une base avec des amis, c'est vraiment quelque chose. Ma meilleure partie, c'était quand on a installé notre camp au bord de la mer. On avait construit un grand ponton pour pêcher tranquillement. Le soir, on se posait devant le coucher de soleil, discutant sur Discord après une journée à piller des bunkers. C'était simple, mais ce genre de moment rend le jeu spécial. Et je crois qu'une des choses qui me fait toujours autant rire, c'est la tombola quand on fais caca. Les vrais joueurs de SCUM savent de quoi je parle. À chaque fois, c'est comme ouvrir une lootbox complètement absurde. On ne sait jamais ce qui va sortir en cadeau. Ma meilleure prise reste une pomme ( que j'ai manger évidement ) et un ouvre-boîte qui m'a été bien utile en plus. On était morts de rire pour quelque chose d'aussi débile, mais c'était marrant donc bénef. Le jeu continue d'avoir des maj avec du nouveau contenu. Il y a toujours une nouvelle raison de relancer le jeu et de repartir de zéro. Pour résumer en quelques mots, SCUM est une vraie pépite pour tous ceux qui aiment les jeux de survie. Que ce soit pour les combats, la construction, les véhicules ou les moments tranquille entre potes. J'ai eu tellement d'aventures et de fun dessus que je pourrais difficilement m'en lasser. Au final, ce ne sont pas forcément les gros loots ou les combats les plus intenses dont je me souviens le plus mais juste les soirées avec mes potes à pêcher sur notre ponton en regardant le soleil se coucher, ou moi qui doit tout farmer parce que mes potes sont des flemmards ou cette pomme délicieuse si on oublie d'où elle venait. Rien que pour ça, j'adore ce jeu. Je vous le recommande fortement ! ( je vous avais dis, quelques mots ;) )
As an old player who has been playing SCUM since [September 18, 2024], I wrote this text today not to vent my emotions, but to record a disappointing official interactive experience. [The cause of the incident] Just a few days ago, I found that my SCUM account was banned. My first reaction was confusion, because I had never used any cheating software and had not violated the rules of the game. I contacted the official support team of SCUM (Bohemia Interactive Support) at the first time to try to figure out what happened. [Official response] The reply of the official customer service is very fast, but also very "fatal". They confirmed that my account was mistakenly blocked by the "old version of the anti-cheating system". That is to say, I am innocent and it is the fault of the system. However, the next sentence made me completely cold: "We no longer use the anti-cheating scheme, so we can't access the relevant records, and we can't modify or revoke the ban." [Absurd Reality] It's like the police caught the wrong person and locked you up for several years. When you complained, the police station told you: "The case handling system has been scrapped and the files have been burned, so we can't prove that you are innocent, and you can only continue to be locked up." Because the official system was replaced, the misjudgment of the old system became a "permanent case". They admit their mistakes, but refuse to correct them. [My loss] It's not just a matter of an account. On this account, I invested hundreds of hours to build a base, accumulate equipment, and even invest real money to buy assets in the game. Now, because of the technical iteration of the official system, all this has been cleared. What's more ironic is that I'm not even qualified to "complain", because the judge who judged me (the old system) has "died", and no one can overturn its judgment. [Concluding Words and Appeals] I understand that game development needs to update technology, but I can't accept that players pay for the "technical debt" in full. If the official can erase the player's historical data because the system is disabled, then where is the player's trust in the game? I hope the SCUM team can see this article. Since you can't unblock your account, please at least face your mistake: 1. Please issue an announcement on the official website to inform players that the old version of the anti-cheating system does have the risk of being blocked by mistake. 2. For those players who are mistakenly blocked due to the old system, some in-game compensation (such as props, gold coins, etc.) will be given, instead of a cold sentence of "powerlessness". Our players support not only the game itself, but also the sincerity of the developer. I hope the official can give a reasonable explanation instead of letting us leave with regret. Player: [每当JK慢慢脱离她的裤腿]
In terms of Survival/Scavenger/Shooter/PVE/Zombies this is the BEST game out there in terms of detail and content, just surviving is fun, nutrients system, detailed injury and sickness system. Just wish they focused more into the single player, Player vs AI aspect, more geared AI running around the map or even AI bases. Because like in any Online PVP game right now the cheaters ruins everything. Focus more in Single Player/Coop experiences.
Short Ver: Try it if you’re curious. Skip it if you’re not. It’s one of those things that sits in the middle: interesting enough to give it a shot, not essential enough to lose sleep over. ---- Long Ver: SCUM is basically what happens when someone looks at survival games and says, “What if we added more systems?” and then refuses to stop talking for the next 47 hours. On the surface, it looks like a survival game. But underneath that innocent disguise is a full-blown life simulator disguised as punishment. You don’t just survive. You manage metabolism, vitamins, digestion, stamina, body mass, and probably your character’s childhood trauma if the devs get enough time. Graphically, it’s actually pretty solid. The world has that “post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe but also slightly cleaner than reality” vibe, which is oddly convincing. Trees exist. Buildings exist. Sometimes even performance exists, which feels like a limited-time event. The depth of systems is impressive in the same way a tax form is impressive. You admire it, you respect it, and then you quietly wonder if anyone actually enjoys filling it out on purpose. Everything affects everything else. Eat wrong? Congratulations, you are now experiencing consequences in 12 different physiological categories. And yet, somehow, it works. Not gracefully, not elegantly, but it does work. There is a strange satisfaction in slowly turning your prisoner into a hyper-optimized survival machine, assuming you survive the learning curve, the UI, and your own confusion. Combat feels weighty in a “please don’t let this be desync” kind of way, and PvP can swing between tense tactical encounters and sudden philosophical discussions about why you trusted a guy named “xX_BoneCollector_Xx.” The real charm of SCUM is that it never pretends to be simple. It actively rejects simplicity like it owes it money. And honestly, that commitment is kind of impressive. Exhausting, yes. Unnecessary in places, absolutely. But consistent. In short, SCUM is not a game you casually play. It’s a lifestyle decision. One you question regularly. And then, for some reason, you queue up again anyway.
August 2022, First day on scum I was like : " WTF?! " What am I doing. Scum is basically my first survival game, or this type of game I ever played. A multiplayer, server based game. I used to be so nervous going around, don't know what to do. But I did fell in love with the game. Since then a lot have changed. It got full released, new NPC's a lot of good stuff. There are still some stuff that needs working on, but the good stuff are much more then the bad stuff. You can always find something to do. If you like single player, or MP, you can find it. PVE, PVP, role-play, Hardcore.... high loot, low loot, whatever you want. Even when I do have a break from the game from time to time I always come back to it. Especially recently with the new loot system, new NPC's behaviour, new traders system.... and I'm sure this game will only gets better and better.... For a new player it will look complicated, especially with the metabolism system, Which is a unique feature of this game. But as long as you play it, you will learn the system. And there are always usefull videos you can find on the net. So I hope you'll enjoy this game like I am and I hope there are much more better thing to come for this game The Devs are doing an amazing job
