PC Critic Reviews

SCUM is an extremely technical sandbox survival game, focused on a detailed simulation of the human body and resource management. Set in a huge map, it offers advanced metabolism, thermoregulation and nutrition systems, which directly influence the character's performance and abilities. The gameplay alternates exploration, crafting, management of vital parameters and combat, both PvE and PvP. The learning curve is steep and the interface is not always intuitive, but the approach is unique in the survival panorama, offering a deep and punishing experience for the most demanding players.

SCUM is a solid immersive open-world survival game that definitely takes the survival up a notch with its complex systems and engaging gameplay. While a little intimidating for the average player, seasoned survival game enthusiasts will have a blast going through its world and challenging themselves to survive for as long as they can. There is a steep learning curve and bits of clunky combat gameplay, but it's definitely something to try out.
