This is the kind of game that has like two different stick types, one of which can be crafted into a whole ‘nother stick.Īnd this feeds into the crafting system, which is admittedly a bit cumbersome, since there are three separate crafting menus that are only marginally differentiated from one another, and they overlap enough that the developer might as well have just combined them into one coherent system. The sheer amount of items you can find and collect in M ist Survival is daunting, to say the least. Mist Survival balances these meters well. I personally enjoy having to manage my character’s stats, but in too many survival games, they drain ridiculously fast and end up feeling more like a chore than side challenge. Thankfully, these meters are easy enough to manage once you get used to them.
There are a number of gauges for your character stats: health, hunger, thirst, fatigue, stamina, and cold. I was initially overwhelmed during my first brief playthrough. There are also bears, because life wasn’t hard enough, I guess. And it ain’t just zombies that are begging for some lead there are small bandit encampments dotted around the map who you might need to introduce to the business end of your hunting rifle. You do this by rummaging through buildings and foraging the wilderness, living off the land and killing when you have to. The mist turns folks that aren’t immune to its charm into zombies of sorts, and it also somehow brings with it whatever zombies it has tucked away in its back pocket.
The basic premise is that you wake up in the woods a few years into a zombie apocalypse, which was brought on by an ominous mist that occasionally rolls in. It is not only one of the best-looking games of its kind, with a surprising level of detail, but it also manages to deliver some fine crafting and combat elements as well. Mist Survival also takes the better elements of State of Decay, namely the base management and location rummaging. It takes the open-world survival elements of games like DayZ, but it cuts the annoying multiplayer bits - namely the other players and their penchant to hoard all of the good gear. Mist Survival is hands-down the best single-player zombie survival game I’ve played to date.
