Hurtworld - Steam Early Access

It seems to have a bit of a (recent) mixed reception on Steam. When I took a look at the reviews I was met with a ocean of thumbs downs, not sure how though, the reviews are heavily in its favour.

Positive (7,811)
Negative (1,901)
Recent: Mostly Positive (1,209 reviews)
Overall: Very Positive (9,712 reviews)

WARNING: Hurtworld is still very early in development. It may be worth waiting until we are further through development before getting on board (We're not going anywhere).

Hurtworld is a hardcore multiplayer survival FPS with a focus on deep survival progression that doesn't become trivial once you establish some basic needs. That feeling when you're freezing to death trying to make a fire, or you're defenceless being chased by creatures. These experiences are what make a survival game. When you overcome that challenge and find a level of comfort it's a great feeling, but what do you do next?

Hurtworld tempts you out of your comfort zone with rich resources, better loot and higher tech. It will also throw more dangerous creatures, harsher environments and new challenges at you that can't be taken on without the proper gear or refined skill. Will you settle for bows and arrows and a campfire, or push deeper into the map and start scavenging for vehicle parts and better weapons?

Built from the ground up with solid multiplayer foundations. Designed for fast skill based PVP and PVE. You will constantly have to decide which is the biggest threat, the player opposite you or the creatures that will hear your gunshot.

It's £18.99 on Steam, so if it intrigues you in the slightest then it's a no brainer. Thanks for posting, dude. Heat added :smiley:

Cancelled my sub, not interested in this at all, especially considering it's the main attraction of next month's bundle. Heat added anyway!

Had this on my wish list anyway, awesome stuff! :smiley:

Been having enough of Rust recently so couldn't take another of these survival games on- they are a bit of a nightmare time wise.

Anybody got a trade thread for unwanted codes? I want to get hold of some Steam games for myself before giving away some codes for Illusionary's weekly giveaway.

Have a few from the last few monthly bundles and some from a few individual ones.

Particularly after Walking Dead seasons/add ons (already have Season 1).

I've cancelled my sub for this month too, I'm baffled that an early access game with terrible recent reviews is the main game - it doesn't bode well for the rest of the bundle if Hurtworld is supposed to be the best of them.

Is it just me or are there too many survival games now? Like, way too many. I got H1Z1 at Christmas and haven't had time to get into that properly yet, plus I still have Rust and Ark: Survival Evolved from previous Humble Monthly bundles that I haven't touched yet and we just got The Forest in June's. Then I look at my Steam library and see games like 7 Days to Die, Grav that I forgot I had, and on my wishlist there's things like Life is Feudal, The Black Death, The Long Dark and I just saw another new one with dinosaurs the other day, forget what it was called. And they're all in Early Access so you don't know which ones are good now or whether they'll get better or worse. I mean this looks great but the reviews make it sound as though the devs have abandoned it - but then maybe it will pick up again if they get lots more money/players from it being in a Humble Monthly. Argh!



Not sure about on HUKD itself but these are the sites where I trade games (If I can post links here) -
Steam Gifts
Barter.vg

Cheers for the links.

I have played about 10% of my library, I just don't have 100 hours a week to dedicate to playing games. I wish I did though. :smiley:

I always end up having at least 2 games that I enjoy more than the main game. I agree Hurtworld is the weakest main game they've had, but I'll probably just trade it.

How does barter.vg work? I've uploaded My trade list, library and wishlist, how do you find other people to trade with?

It syncs your wishlist from Steam but you'll need to manually add a list of spare games you have to your 'Tradeable' list. Then you can go down either list, click on a game and it will give you a list of people who have that game to trade and a list of people who have it on their wishlist (so you can either search for a game you want and find people who have it, or for a game you have and find people who want it). Then click on a user name and under their Tradeable list or Wishlist you'll see 'Match'. Click that and if you have any games that they want and they have games you want it will list them and you can propose a trade, otherwise it will say 'No mutual matches'.
It's not very intuitive, I know, but you'll soon get the hang of it - there's just a lot of clicking through individual profiles involved! I haven't been on there very long but I've already had quite a few good trades. I think it's quite new as I only just heard of it.

So many survival games from Humble Monthly. i don't know how they expect subscribers to put the time in.

Probably going to continue my subscription though just out of habit. They've all been great value for money and hopefully the other games will appeal to me more.

Already had The Forest, anyone looking to trade?

Here is what I have spare, particularly after Walking Dead stuff other than Season One but will consider anything:
Avalanche 2: Super Avalanche
The Magic Circle
Nova-111
Nuclear Throne
Renowned Explorers: International Society
Puzzle Agent
Puzzle Agent 2
Poker Night at the Inventory
JumpJet Rex
Infinifactory
Galak-Z
Fran Bow
1993 Space Machine

And maybe some from this months bundle also. :stuck_out_tongue:

Appreciate the help, hopefully I'll be able to get rid of some of these spare keys and get some games I actually want now :stuck_out_tongue:



Sent you a PM.

Send me your profile link and we'll see if we have any matches! Mine's here - https://barter.vg/u/127e/

Grr I missed Rocket League :disappointed:

Looks like neither of us have anything from each others' wishlists. I would maybe trade something for Secret Ponchos or Tales from Symphonia if there's anything in my tradeables that takes your fancy; here's my link: https://barter.vg/u/1407/.

Bit of a blunder putting this as their unlock game for the month, I'm sure their will be plenty of cancelled subscriptions.

Game isn't as good as other early access games such as Rust. It was popular on release but has quickly become forgotten. Dead servers, no players etc etc. I don't think there has been enough progress by a long long way to keep it relevant.

I don't have a sub however I would cancel for a month if you are part of it.

You can pick up rust for a similar cost as the subscription.

So fed up of half finished survival games. I. 've had most months for thddecentlead titles but I am also fed up of getting one game I like and 5 games that are just utter rubbish or from 1986. It' s a good price most months but a lead like this means a no from me.

​I'll sign up for those two sites tomorrow, too drunk now, I have aboutt 100 keys for trade. I must give some for the giveaway too.

Have added you guys on barter.vg.

My profile is - https://barter.vg/u/1450/

And as a humble subscriber get 10% off the humble store which includes pre-orders for No Man's Sky.

Hadn't even heard of most the games from this month's bundle. If anyone's interested in trading for any of them have a look at my barter.vg profile to see what I already have/ what's on my wishlist: https://barter.vg/u/1407/
