You will not be fighting just to maintain the status quo. This IS NOT a game about starving.

You will get more powerful, and unlock permanent upgrades. The world is a dangerous place, and you may take a few steps back once in a while, but eventually you will thrive.
Enjoy the bittersweet apocalypse.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
FlyingDoggy's review (April 08 2025) is spot on.
Still despite these (minor?) flaws, I did 6 full replays, 4 of them with DLCs, 2 of them with all DLCs. Close to the 1500h mark for that. For me the game is brilliant immersion. Lots of funny and memorable moments too.
Pinned a new replay like next year or so. And on these prices (atm game + all dlcs = less than 20 euros) I do highly recomment it.
Easy on the eyes and ears.
Great levels and amounts of progression for those who don't want to invoke the Dev console (like I did).
I would recommend this even if not on sale.
Great game, you can have fun with a relatively relaxing survival game.
The developers were also so generous to make eating not a core part of the experience, it's just a optional supplement, albeit with a strong incentive to at least cook each recipe once. For the first time eating something new gives +5 HP. And that adds up.
Combat is nice, starts easy, gets a bit harder, but never feels unfair. Quite balanced actually.
There's building your own base, if you want to, so that you can have your very own travel hub. It's ok, works fine, but for me it's not the most important.
Rather gaining more XP and therefore levels to get access to better and better equipment is the loop I like most. And the fact that some equipment has to be found (mostly happening through the DLCs, if I got that right).
Overall good game, crazy good value if you get it on a sale.
Co-op is a bit weird, but it works just fine. Makes the game even better. Slaying monster together with a buddy is just what the doctor ordered! :)
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
