coll game but hackers suck

good game

I’ve been wondering for a while what kinds of games kids who grew up playing Minecraft and Roblox would go on to make for themselves. This is a generation that’s been immersed in modding culture and open objectives since it could grasp a mouse, and I’m fascinated to see how that might have formed new attitudes to games in general.

One particular answer is Unturned [official site], a free-to-play Day-Glo take on DayZ. Made by a Canadian school student, it’s just come out of Early Access, where it attracted nearly 25 million players. But was that simply because it’s free, or is there more to uncover in Unturned? Here’s wot I think. I’ve bled to death, been shot and been battered with a spade. I’ve been mauled by zombies too, of course. I’ve probably been mauled by zombies the most. I’ve committed suicide. I’ve fallen off a crane, starved, frozen, fallen in spikes and I was punched to death in the black of night. What I am trying to say is: I’m very bad at Unturned.

Also, I’m trying to say that you shouldn’t take Unturned’s looks at face value. Unturned is brutal, deep and detailed. There is an enormous amount to do and deal with when you play, a natural product of Unturned’s nature as a survival game. It is, after all, directly inspired by DayZ, and has grown up right alongside the likes of Rust. It’s been around for about as long as Rust, having first launched in Early Access in July 2014, and developer Nelson Sexton has constantly added new features to it ever since

very good game
