Not sure why it’s getting so much hate. Sure it’s been in early access forever, but if you look at the progress they’ve made since conception its come a long way. Also they didnt just abandon it likes countless other games when they could’ve easily made it a cashgrab.

Vanilla is kinda ass still I will admit. The only real way to play it is with overhaul mods which take the game to a new level, and adds so much qol, replayability and general balancing. I’d highly recommend darkness falls, or undead legacy overhauls through 7dtd modlauncher. There are plenty of other overhauls but those are the highest quality imo
