Not bad, a fun 15 games for my playthrough so far. Not very challenging, but fun nontheless. With a couple hand-crafted puzzle locations, resource gathering, upgrades, base building. Weapons crafting. Can't wait for the game to be finished (Or just the next biome to be added)

Where to start... This concept is really, really cool. The idea of a huge moving base while you gather resources and materials to upgrade/maintain is stellar. However, I do have a could gripes with how the gameplay was laid out. First off, the movement/menus need to be more responsive. Over 4 hours, I can't count how many times I had to click the hotkey of the tool I wanted multiple times because I changed without accounting for the time the game needs to sheath your current tool and unsheath the selected one. I understand how thats how the REAL world works, but responsiveness is much more important in a video game and frankly, you the sheath animation should be deleted and only unsheath activates. The movement is also a little too... cheesy for how much parkour emphasized. Some puzzles I can climb up a wall but spamming jump, some puzzles seem like you should have a double jump ability. This may be due to a lack of progression in the game, but frankly after 4 hours of gathering/farming/exploring, it would be nice to find something that makes movement more fluid other than predetermined ziplines. Speaking of playing around 4 hours, I feel like the progression system of finding blueprints is... flawed at best, especially for important story items. Half of the items I pick up from blue chests make me roll my eyes as its something COMPLETELY useless or requiring items I can't get because (drumroll please) I havent found the blueprint to smelt copper. Seems like a self defeating system that makes exploration less interesting and more like a chore. It just sucks that the majority of this game requires you to do a lot of really repetitive things that lose their charm after 90 minutes. Really excited to see where this game goes, I hope the movement/combat/progression and menus can get some QoL upgrades so this game can grow into a really dope exploration/basebuilding experience rather than this very linear system.

Great Game with a Lot of Potential Survival Machine is a very enjoyable game. The map is large and fun to explore, and the gameplay doesn’t feel too repetitive. There’s a good balance of zombies to keep things challenging, and resource gathering is satisfying — you can collect what you need without spending hours searching. That said, there are a few bugs. Sometimes your character may start floating out of nowhere. Thankfully, there’s an “Unstuck” button, but it teleports you all the way back to the machine, which can be frustrating. Other issues include the game randomly closing and problems when playing with others — specifically, getting stuck on the “Preparing Machine” screen when trying to load into multiplayer. Overall, despite the bugs, it’s a solid experience and worth checking out. It's important to remember that the game is still in Early Access, so these issues are likely to be addressed as development continues.

A solid foundation with potential for greatness. Survival machine is obviously in its infancy as a game however the game has a very promising concept and a good foundation. With another year or so of updates this game could be seriously good, and with further support after that could carve out a strong niche in the over saturated zombie genre. Good points: - Nice visuals and great art direction - Solid combat and base building - Easy to understand and jump into Things to work on: - Gameplay loop gets repetitive after an hour or so straight. - Lack of automated defences, which makes zombie attacks pretty difficult for a solo player and makes building more than one defence weapon pointless - Guns are weak and zombies get too close to you to use them properly - Zombie attack nights happen too often (maybe do one once every 4 nights?) - Defence building options are limited - Repairing a wooden structures (walls etc) costs more than just building a new one - Movement options are limited and could use expanding (Slide, roll etc) - Sometimes when i pause the game and tab out i fall through the world and get teleported back to the machine - Large groups of zombies are basically impossible to kill as a solo - Zombies are too fast - One of the blueprint chest generations is inside of a rock formation that i had to clip inside to get From a solo perspective its clear the game is balanced for multiplayer, with a few friends a lot of things that bug me wouldnt be present however as a solo there are a few balancing and QOL changes that would really help to improve the experience. The gameplay loop can also use diversifying as its very simplistic and repetitive which makes it VERY hard to sit down and play this game for more than an hour straight. However i still enjoy the game and am really looking forward to future updates. If you are interested in the game but do not want to get in on the bottom floor definitely wishlist this game as there is a ton of potential.

Survival Machine: Mad Max Meets IKEA So I hopped into Survival Machine expecting chaos, cannibals, and a healthy dose of DIY doom-wagon driving. What I got was… well, all of that, plus a lot of accidentally falling off moving vehicles because I forgot physics exists. The game drops you into a desert with a janky contraption that looks like it was assembled by a raccoon with commitment issues. You gather stuff, upgrade your ramshackle ride, and desperately try not to be eaten while fending off bandits who were apparently trained at the Stormtrooper Academy of Terrible Aim. Pros: Build your very own post-apocalyptic clunker. It's like Pimp My Ride but everyone’s starving. Cons: Sometimes your biggest enemy isn’t the horde, it’s gravity. Or your own crewmates pushing you off ledges like it’s an accident. The AI occasionally forgets it's supposed to help you, not haunt you with thousand-yard stares. Final take: It's clunky, chaotic, and kinda dumb, but like, the fun kind of dumb. If you enjoy games where half the challenge is just keeping your weird contraption from flipping over like a drunk turtle, Survival Machine might be your jam.
