Survival Roundup #10

This week is double sized again for not posting the 16th. I’m messing around with a video version but it’s just not coming together yet.

Frigore- Due to an influx of troll reviews on the Steam store page, the developer decides to revert the games ‘free to play’ status and pauses development.

Days Gone- Good news for fans of the Steam Deck (and those who have even gotten one yet??) Days Gone is now Steam Deck Verified!

KeepUp Survival– The developer has posted a roadmap of planned & upcoming changes, along with future plans for DLC.

DayZ- I mean sure, why address car mechanics and hackers when you can add these things instead.

Breakwaters- Now in v0.5.13, the developer has added a host of new items. How cool are these backpacks with lights attached to them? Also you know a game is getting SRS when they add a frying pan that can be used as a weapon.

Icarus– These weekly updates are fantastic. First there was the announcement of the persistent world bosses. Then they dropped news of an upcoming major update launching on Friday, May 27th- Styx DLC.

Survive the Nights- Slew of tweaks and quality of life updates. Interesting that they mention implementing a solution for skipping hordes. Wonder how that will play out?

Last Oasis- Their most recent post addressing their progress/work on the overhaul discussed their plan to add PvE maps and remove the lobby system from the game.

Far North- The developers have dropped DevLog #4; an update on their technical work & progress thus far.

Road to Eden– In the past week and change, RtE has received two updates, bug fixing patch 5.7 and content patch 5.81, breaking the drought that started in December of 2021.

Empyrion- Galactic Survival – There’s just too much to cover in the extensive patch notes, so here they are for V1.8 Experimental I and v1.8 Experimental II.

Len’s Island- My wife is always pleased when any game (any game at all) adds fishing to the game, let alone all of the other new stuff this last patch added.

The Planet Crafter– Had a slew of notable updates, including the release of content patch ‘Caves & Crater‘ along with the walk back of an unpopular change; the removal of pulsar quartz crafting.
