The game provides a unique way to survive in a zombie-infested world, where players must use every available resource to improve their equipment and survive another day. It also has very detailed features for the base building.

On the official Reddit community, a user posted about spending many days in the game with a friend but finding it boring due to a lack of new equipment. It seems the current version of the game does not allow for continued growth.

This is expected to change once the game officially launches in version 1.0. The studio has not clarified when it will release the game officially. The community is eagerly awaiting this.

The user mentioned playing for over 42 weeks in-game time and surviving with a friend without issues. Regrettably, they reached a point where acquiring more advanced equipment was no longer possible.

Players quickly responded, suggesting playing higher-difficulty missions for better rewards and new equipment. This player also mentioned that he has all the equipment he needs and is seeking advice from the community on how to enhance his enjoyment of the game.

Other recommendations included moving their base to the Wastelands, 64 zombie blood moons, and daily blood moons, among other places. Most players recommended the same: increasing the difficulty of experiencing new things in this title.

Additionally, they advised improving the base to have more fun with all the features that this game offers. The studio should adjust the gameplay.

7 Days to Die encourages players to explore, repair, and create all kinds of equipment to survive in this unforgiving zombie world. The game allows players to play cooperatively, building a base together for better survival results.

There are missions with varying difficulties to select from, enabling players to gather better equipment. These kinds of titles always have a group of players who enjoy base-building and survival, such as Rust.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
