Them survival games sure are popping out of the woodwork all over, not that it's a bad thing.
This looks very messy, but that could make it fun to mess around in.
Being a sucker for dinosaurs since I was like 5, I'm looking for a game that portrays them in a more scary and threatening way though. I wasn't extremely impressed with them in "The Stomping Land" and this doesn't look much better in that regard.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
It's about the easiest type of game to get into an 'alpha' state and start grubbing money for.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Why bother with "realism" in these types of games ? None of them are likely to make much money or last for very long. The harder you have to work at gaining ingame goodies, the more it will hurt when you inevitably lose them. And the greater the potential advantage that could be gained by an organised group.
The potential playerbase for these kinds of "permadeath/FFA-PVP/Slaughterfest" is a small niche, and the amount of games trying to woo them is increasing rapidly. The venerable DayZ-Standalone is still in alpha, but it was sort-of beaten to the punch by WarZ (or whatever it's called now). They've been joined by "Rust". And "The Nether". And "Stomping Grounds". And soon "H1Z1". And now this game as well...
Steam will have to create a "Survival Game" category soon to accommodate all these titles.
