7 Days to Die is a horror video game set in an open world sandbox environment in which players have the one main goal of staying alive. Set post apocalypse, players must ensure their survival throughout the game, meeting the character’s human needs, whilst avoiding/killing zombies.

With around 10 million copies sold worldwide, 7 Days to Die, although proving seemingly popular, has been met also with some criticism. The game has received just a 45% review score on Metacritic and 2/10 on GameSpot, with users commenting on its bugs and room for improved optimization.

7 Days to Die was published by The Fun Pimps and first released on 13th December 2013. Players can chose between Single-player or Multiplayer mode and can access the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, macOS, Linux, Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
