I really dislike all the DayZ, Rust type titles. The only reason I think this grabbed me is that it has a stronger PvE centric gameplay. I play on a private server where we're all just playing together as friends not murdering eachother tho. People are set up as hunters, gatherers, crafters, etc there's like big skill lists that specify what you can make and what stats you have. World feels dangerous as fuck too unlike the others.
Wandering too far into a dense jungle basically means a group of raptors or shit jumping you, jungles make you pass out from heat and shit too. Also the big dinosaurs and shit are fucking enormous in scale, like real, real fucking huge. The endgame stuff is also crazy from what I've seen. My group is still chucking rocks at dudes, there's like machine guns and shit at the end tho and we've been playing for a good minute.
