Games like Human Host

Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly like Human Host as a promising 7 Days to Die alternative, though it is rough early access with performance and building complaints.

Many players say the game plays much like early 7 Days to Die and is a strong alternative to it, with satisfying melee and gunplay, destructible voxel terrain, a large map with many biomes, and a deep vehicle and crafting system that lets players build their own machines. Some praise the perk system and the difficulty options. Complaints centre on performance issues and stutters, building pieces that do not snap or line up, heavy wood costs, zombie spawns that feel excessive early on, and a lack of tutorials. Some players also miss basics such as water sources or dodge mechanics. Reviews from the last year are a little more mixed than the older helpful ones, with more reports of stutter and grind. Almost all players praise the developer for frequent updates and quick bug fixes, though a few complain about missing patch notes.

Who it suits

Players who liked 7 Days to Die and want a newer zombie survival and crafting game with vehicles, sandbox freedom and active development.

Who should skip it

Players who want a polished, finished game with tutorials, stable performance and dependable building, as the game is still in early access.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over a hundred hours praise the depth of vehicles and the long-term updates, while some who quit early complain about zombie spawns and locked crafting.
