300+ hours on PC in 2014-2015 finally returned

I used to play the hell out of alpha way back in 2014. I recently played again on ps5 because it was free for the monthly game and I thought what the hell why not for old times sake. Man! I am hooked all over again! All of the detailed survival mechanics like fishing and animal hunting and stuff weren’t really fleshed out or even there back when I played. Having to craft a fishing rod and fires frequently is super cool. Back when I played you just found canned peaches and beans and you were basically set up with food as long as you looted every so often. In this version I feel like I’m really fighting to survive constantly.

I had a character last 3 hours so far, she had a mosin and a skorpion, hiking backpack, fire starters, etc. Made it all the way to near north west airfield and shot and killed a fox. Ended up cooking it and I didn’t wash my hands before eating it so got sick and died. 10/10 I am glad to be back!
