In the game, the player must survive not only enemies and combat, but simply living: finding food, water, shelter and so on are all vital to the character’s continued existence.

7 Days to Die for PC began life as an early access funded horror survival game that succeeded in hitting its target and made its way onto the market as a complete and polished product. In the game, the player must survive not only enemies and combat, but simply living: finding food, water, shelter and so on are all vital to the character’s continued existence.
About the Game
The basic premise of the game is that it is set in the future, in an unnamed year, following a nuclear devastation that has, it is hinted, turned much of the population to vicious zombies, leaving only a few survivors trying to eke out a living in the Nevazgane Desert, in the American south west.
Nevazgane means ‘killer of monsters’ in Apache, and it is into the Nevazgane Desert that the player spawns, naked, alone and (presumably) afraid. The survival theme continues with the laws of physics applying to buildings which will fall down if not properly constructed and to tools and weapons which wear out or degrade over time, thus needing constant replenishment.
This all means that the character is constantly on the lookout for plants, tools and resources which can be found in nature – plants, minerals, building rocks – and in the ruined remnants of cities – tools, clothing and other resources, with which they can restore their inventory and keep on advancing through the game.
Multiplayer games are an option and you can choose whether to team up with buddies – or strangers – as a team for co-operative play, making your way through the hostile landscape and fending off the zombie hordes as a team, or you can play against other players in hostile games when you will have to husband your resources by yourself and try and fend off both zombies and other players at once or in tandem, depending on the difficulty level at which you are playing.
In-Game Hazards
Despite the already arduous conditions in which just trying to stay alive can kill you, there are a number of ways to die or be defeated in the game:
Starve/ Freeze/ Waste Away: This is the sort of day-to-day attrition that requires near constant vigilance to stave off, with gathering resources, finding food, and renewing weaponry that will keep you engrossed and active in the game.
Predators: As you are gathering food and resources, so too are predatory creatures who think that you would be a great addition to their menu and sooner rather than later! Stay vigilant for these creatures and be prepared for a fight to the death: yours or theirs.
Zombies: These undead are your greatest hazard, and will force you into planning excursions with care as they will follow you relentlessly, greatly cramping your style and making you use up your resources more rapidly than you might want to. These creatures slowly become stronger and more aggressive, undermining your defences and causing you a great deal of trouble.
Seven-Day Zombies: If the usual zombies haven’t been enough to see you off, every seven days (and this is from where the title of the whole game comes) an apocalyptic flood of the bloodthirsty creatures are unleashed upon you, all at the same time, flocking to your location, and all bent on taking you out. This is the greatest test of your defences, and you will have to work very hard before and during the attack to stave them off and survive to the next week.
7 Days to Die for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

i love this game since BETA so i been buying this game for all my Friends From this Site.This game is Great for players who wanna have a PVE fights vs Zombies Workshop is not in this so mods are manually installed
This game is great, i love the gameplay, the difficulty and the replayability. Me and my friends always play this now this is defintly a go to if your looking for a game to play with your friends
While 7 Days to Die has a lot of potential, it ultimately fell short of my expectations. The game's repetitive gameplay loop and janky mechanics made it difficult for me to stay engaged. While some players may find the game's survival aspects rewarding, I felt that they were overshadowed by the game's technical flaws. If you're looking for a challenging and immersive zombie survival game, 7 Days to Die may be worth checking out. However, be prepared for a steep learning curve and a number of frustrating bugs.
zombie game to paly with a friend
high replayability
unpolished
lacks a feeling of realism i like in survival games
One of my favorite games of all time (tip don't do mods if your pc is garbage). I am trying to get my friends to play they refuse to for stupid reasons and I hate there opinions about it.
addicting gameplay
good tutorial (that needs a tiny bit of work).
if you don't focus on looting buildings as much its very boring
This game is great,highly recommend to people although it is hard to get your bareing but once you do u truely begin to enjoy it . I would recommend playing the game single player before hoping into multiplayer so you dont burn yourself out.
*7 Days to Die* keeps you on edge with its intense survival mechanics and the thrill of total destructibility. The crafting system is deep and rewarding, allowing for lots of creativity. However, the game becomes repetitive over time, with biomes differing mostly in visuals. A wider variety of quests and environments would make it more engaging in the long run.
We planned a gaming weekend with 2 friends, and our original game wasn't playable (there was that Playstation outage).
My friend recommended this and I was extremely skeptical to say the least, Yet another Zombie Survival game? I dunno ...
We had an absolute blast, I'm up to 120 hours for the past 2 weeks, that's more time than I spent at work or with my famiy XD.
This is a game where you are bound to make mistakes, but you understand most of them and are able to learn from it. The game is very "logical" in the sense that when you wonder how to do something or where to look for something. Think about how or where you would do it in real life and that might give you a hint or where to go.
As an example, where to get Polymers (which is mostly plastic or rubber)? Well that cooler, that tire, that appliance, etc.
How to get more Cooking Magazines? Leveling the related perk, in this case Master Chef, increases the chance of getting the magazines you need to level cooking.
Highly recommend to play with others (friends or otherwise) with or without the PVP aspects as there is plenty to do for multiple players!
Way more fun than the trailer let me believe
Difficulty ramps up over time, but diminishes when you die, which strikes a nice balance
You have to be willing to die a few times to learn and death can be painful!
