Many people might not know this, but gaming is a huge passion of mine. From creating intricate neighbourhoods in The SIMS to competing online in Call of Duty and Half-Life, I’ve explored a range of exciting virtual worlds. Recently, however, Rocket League and 7 Days to Die have firmly taken over my gaming sessions.
7 Days to Die is a survival horror video game set in an open world, developed by The Fun Pimps. Think of it like The Walking Dead meets Runescape.
Surviving in Post-Apocalyptic Navezgane
Set after a devastating nuclear Third World War, the game plunges you into the remains of civilisation. You’re dropped into the fictional county of Navezgane, Arizona—one of the few places relatively untouched by total destruction. As a survivor, your task is straightforward but challenging: find shelter, source food and water, and scavenge for vital supplies. Oh, and don’t forget, there are hordes of relentless zombies roaming around, likely spawned from nuclear fallout.
Explore, Craft, and Survive
What sets 7 Days to Die apart is its sheer scale and depth. The expansive map is immense, inviting endless exploration. You can craft, build, and even manipulate the environment—but remember, the game’s realistic physics means structures must have proper support or risk collapsing spectacularly. Each in-game day is valuable, so planning ahead is essential. Supplies are periodically dropped from planes, often leading to tense journeys through dangerous territories to retrieve them.
Multiplayer Madness
Another fantastic feature is its multiplayer mode, hosted through player-run servers. It’s incredibly engaging, allowing you to team up, strategise, and survive together. Available across multiple platforms—including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux—it’s accessible to almost everyone.
My Personal Survival Journey
I’m currently deeply immersed, regularly playing until the early hours (3 a.m. has become the new bedtime!). My goal? Finding the ideal location to build the ultimate base camp. I’ve already established a small village with fellow players, and now that I’m hitting day 60, things are getting seriously challenging.
