(http://www.roblox.com/games/190460467/Isolation-ROBLOX-Survival-Game-MYSTERY-PASS)

It's seriously overhyped, it's gameplay is garbage. Extremely slow, grindy, meaningless - resources few and far between. It's literally a walking simulator - two logs, wonderful! Just gotta slowly walk back and forth for five minutes getting more wood as I desperately try to progress.

Yay I did it!

Oh...


I don't feel achieved.. I just feel like I've wasted my life.

I created a colony comprised of guests and regular users through the use of friendship + effigies

Also, if you have enough allies you won't have to do any walking if everyone else is doing it for you

The point is to >>survive<<

which can often be complicated in the game, depending on the 'factions.'

You'll often find that there are yes indeedy 'factions', groups of people. you know. those guys who grind your gears because they rek you.

It's the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. for christ sake, if you can't understand that - i just - no.


ok well anyways.


the point is to gather up some buds, and fight off the other factions. like a big war. but it's the people like you, who don't understand this. that ruin it. ok

im done here.

survival of the fittest. Isn't the only weapon in the game a spear?

Wow, much survival.


Oh, and my god, that material variety - you get wood and stone! Oh, and of course, heads from fallen enemies. 10/10 would survive again


Yeah if you have a bunch of people together it's probably better - less getting annoyed by dragging wood everywhere. But you just shake trees and get food, find a water source, and you survive. As far as survival games go, this one is extremely shallow.


Having "factions" or "groups" is the only thing even close to redeeming about the gameplay.
Which is disappointing because lone wolf should be more valid of a strategy - which, it can't, because your character will NEVER get stronger and you can't upgrade how much wood you can hold (godforbid you buy the gamepass for that) thus making it every boring crawl if you don't have friends.

"it's called survival

"The point is to >>survive<<

which can often be complicated in the game, depending on the 'factions.'"


Uh huh. I survived like, a full hour in the game my first playthrough before getting extremely bored, and going off and stabbing people with a spear who thought I was there friend.

It's pretty easy to run away from a "faction", as well, considering.. no character progression! completely equal ground for running away in the large, uninteresting map.


If you defend the game, that's fine. It's well made; it's scripted nicely.
So please don't just tell me to "learn to survive" and shrug off my comments.


(If you want more counter points/quotes)

"It's the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. for christ sake, if you can't understand that - i just - no."

Survival of the fittest, where everyone is pretty much the same amount of fit. Wonderful.

"Also, if you have enough allies you won't have to do any walking if everyone else is doing it for you
lololololo"

+5 kool points


"the grinding is worth it"

long periods of grinding is very rarely worth it, especially for something that you can't come back to tomorrow and resume.





Obvious personal opinion is obvious, before anyone calls me an idiot

In a world where robux can be traded for real money, I dread the thought of buying 1000r$ worth of gamepasses to reduce grinding. That's like microtransactions in mobile phone games.

It's a well-made game that provides me with less entertainment than half of the freemodeled games on the front page do. I think that's worth "overthinking" to get to the bottom of why.

it's still in development

like apocalypse rising. it had so many bugs. so many people hated it. eventually with the help of some roblox updates, apocalypse rising is one of the most advanced zombie survival games out there.

I left the game for more than a few months. I came back to a golden axe being the only thing noticeably different.


In development is a cheap excuse for a bad game. If the game was truly going to be interesting in the end, the base features wouldn't be so rough, and the dev would be making them better before adding golden axes.

Some things to make the game better:

More tools/upgrades: Probably already planned - screw microtransactions. Seriously.
Animals: Bears. Nuff said. Survival is harder, more lively map
More map details: It's seriously boring.


add, mix, bake for a few minutes and you get a better game

I wish you could tag ROBLOXians in forum posts. The creator should see that suggestion. ^


The map is decently sized, but I agree - it could be so much better.

@N0vaLord

Yeah, tagging would be cool. But seriously, "More stuff" though a good suggestion, is an obvious one. If the creator was doing more than milking his golden axe sales, it'd already be better.

(Again, I played it once then played it months later, so plenty of time has gone by)


@CLASHER9 I think you're using the word right.


@verynew Unaware of what that is.
