Dudes and dudettes, it's true, I'm not over the survival genre yet!
Cast your eyes upon S.C.U.M it's (obviously) in Early Access and it sports a range of features I've been desperate for in a survival sim! Allow me to elaborate!
Your vitals actually matter!
Your diet actually matters!
Wearing clothes that get soaked in water and expecting to be able to do things as if they are dry, MATTERS!

Zombies and pigs have so far killed me in this game, and I've also run away from a giant robot, these things I know little about, but I was excited to see them in game, because honestly I purchased based just on the above factoids as it is lol.

Some other worthy mentions include, layered clothing, and only being able to carry what you have pockets for, canabilsm (not like us ARK players aren't familiar with that AMIRIGHT) 3rd or first person and a groovy narrative around being some kind of convict in a game show?

Disclaimer:
I grabbed this because £15 is the perfect price point for these EA survival-em-ups
I'd be keen to check it out and give my perspective on it for anyone who's curious but (and i feel your pain) doesn't want to commit funds to ANOTHER survival game
Remember I typically love stuff so don't act surprised (Albert :rolleyes:) when I'm saying this seems awesome and I'm merrily inviting everyone to come give it a shot! :D

If I had to guess this would probably appeal to Ark/7days/Rust people the most.

This is the trailer that accompanied Steam Early Access launch:

It looks an awful lot like DayZ to me. Nice trailer though. Is there any base building in the game? And how's the polish at its current state? Do the various 'survival things' actually work?

I bought a copy last night and it's looking good, but very in depth.  base building is on the road map, you can just make a small camp at the moment.  it has a PVP element, but it's not looking as nasty as rust.

You may get away with running a PVE server as there are zombies and the POI or defended by mechs, But at the moment food and shelter is a challenge.

Would be good to pop on it together some time, my main criticism for it atm is just this server rent option instead of dedicated hosting, such a poor choice for these games I reckon...
And man I love the extra depth, but even understanding what to eat that wont give you the squirts is a task in its own lol

I have my camp setup bottom right hand corner of C4, Some good farmland there.  So food isn't an issue.
