I have played it for around 50 hours and I enjoyed every second of it. There is tons of content and you truly never feel like you ran out of stuff to do. There were some small annoyances for 100 percenting the game like really hard items to find but I can’t bump it down because of the small price and the large enjoyment time. I highly recommend.

Amazing Game. As of 2021, Switch version I did'nt experienced any bug going through it. Despite the cute graphics, this is not a game forAmazing Game. As of 2021, Switch version I did'nt experienced any bug going through it. Despite the cute graphics, this is not a game for kids, it's a much tougher and more complex and deep game than it looks. It's true the monkeys can be a chore using at first, but if you're patient enough you'll get the hang of it. The game is also quite long, over 50 + hours for a good roundup. If you like Stardew valley but looking for something a bit more challenging this game is a must.

Don’t let the title fool you. For something called The Survivalists, the game’s survival-related mechanics are shockingly lenient. The only aspect you need to pay constant attention to is hunger, but there’s plenty of food. Low overall difficulty level doesn’t have to be a flaw though. If Don’t Starve Together is too stressful for you and your friends, The Survivalists might be a great choice for co-op.

The Survivalists adds monkeys to the classic sandbox survival formula. It’s a match made in the canopies, even if it doesn’t always work right.
