I really loved this game since day 1, played thousands of hours, was my favorite game for 3 years and potentially the best survival game out there. I had real high hopes and was justified by the dev's engagement, good ideas for pathces, nice progress...

...until patch 0.7 landed.

I never thought I'd see the day - my favorite game took a turn for something horrible IMO and I don't see the reasoning behind it. Adding planes to a prison island, parachutes, traders with unlimited everything (including all the stuff you need for raiding, BMG ammo etc.). We used to have an active squad/s of more than 10 people playing on a daily basis, enjoying the game as it was prior to 0.7. Nowadays I rarely see anyone playing anymore. We are all sad and disappointed about the current state of the game and can not see "the light at the end of the tunnel".

Seems we hit the point of no return. Especially now when the devs decided that to add a playable Danny Trejo character "DLC" instead of making him a cool NPC. Also, with this bad decision they went down the Pay2Win path cause Danny obviously has a clear advantage with a sword in his hand upon spawn, also not wearing orange like other prisoners which gives him the advantage of being less noticeable. Not to mention the ridicoulous and immersion breaking 50 Danny Trejos running around the island...

All in all... I can't recommend this game to anyone anymore, I deleted my early positive review and made this one cause it depicts the current state of the game as I see it.

Saddest part is... I don't see how they can fix this beyond this point anymore and give me/us a chance to come back. :/
