My Thoughts

Mist Survival has been around since 2018, which is basically a million years in the age of Early Access cash grabs & asset flips. Wading through the copious amount of Steam reviews can definitely leave one confused as to whether the game is worth the cash, or even what the status of the game is currently.

You know my mantra- Early Access games get a lot of slack from me! So I’m not going to dwell on things like glitches, bugs, or wonky mechanics because shit like that changes all the time in Early Access- it’ll get better, or worse, or change entirely.

I think for 11 bucks and a 2 hour Steam return window you just pick the sucker up and see how you feel about the game. Not me, not Streamer A or YouTuber B. Unless they’re going to come squirrel your ass around the map, in which case I guess you can reference their thoughts on it? So it’s a Yay from me.

Outside of the actual gameplay, I do wish the Developer had a more organized approach to Community engagement, as the Steam forums and Discord are both disorganized AF. A big part of the negative reception of the game is the lack of consistent developer feedback/transparency, and I think that little change could go a long way towards garnering some positive feedback.
