SCUM has a lot of moving parts, mechanics wise, and a lot of shit that the developers are constantly working to refine & improve. There's a lot of basic bushcraft in the game- reliance and emphasis on the skills needed to handle food, water sourcing, shelter and firecraft. There's a detailed wound & illness system, an incredibly intricate setup for metabolism (including vitamins and minerals) and a host of other details that just make this one of the most realistic survival titles out there currently.
The environment is beautiful and the survival aspects scratch my “surviving by the skin of my teeth” itch. The sheer amount of info packed into the crafting & metabolism menus is mind boggling. I watched a video on the Steam page about how the archery developed and I felt like I was watching a fucking documentary on the History channel, it was that detailed.
However. Be prepared for a lot of crudeness - like the need to shit & piss. And penises that can be covered by specially made ‘Willy Warmers’. Overall though- I love it and I need to write an actual detailed review of it so that I can gush and post inappropriate pictures.
Big Yay.
