Amazing game, cannot find the mysterious stranger for the life of me
I LOVE this game. The amazing graphics and design really make the game shine, and I think the lore makes everything more mysterious and enticing to play. However, I have explored 4 islands, have full iron tools and 2 teleporters and have found 2 labyrinths yet the mysterious stranger is nowhere to be found. That means I can’t explore labyrinths, and it is making me lose interest in the game very fast. I really want to complete it and find out it’s secrets, but I feel like there is no way to do it. I it is not like I haven’t tried to find the mysterious stranger. I have searched all the islands I have found countless times, and have found nothing. To sum up: amazing masterpiece of a game, but hard to enjoy knowing there is a piece of the puzzle missing.

Great game
The survivalist a very good game. I’ve always love survival games they’re a little bit tricky for me but I still like them and just Apple Arcade itself is just awesome it gives us access to many more games I have a few other games on the Apple Arcade and they’re very fun. ok, let’s get back to the survivalist's a very good game and I love how you can train monkeys that part is funny and the monkeys can do stuff for you so you don’t have to do it and I like how it’s all set up and you can craft many things like a bed and campfire stuff like that and how do you can explore find new things and that night I’ve seen bats and I’ve gone into a cave once and there were people that tried to kill me and that’s how I almost died and I’ve defeated a shark it was very tricky but I deleted it and got some meat which was cool and the monkeys can do stuff like craft stuff for you and coot and another stuff like that ok, let’s wrap things up by saying how great of this game is and all the others the survivalist is a very very great game and whoever made this game thank you for making such a good game.

Great game but a serious problem
I loove this game and it’s one of my favorites. The only problem I have with this game is the saving progress and monkeys. I had 4 moneys with me on a new island. Three were trained to fight and the 4th was carrying a chest. I saved the game through the menu, got off and then got back on the game. When I got back on my monkeys were all untrained. This had happened to me a couple times before and it’s starting to get frustrating to where I do not want to play this game anymore. One time when I had to retrained my monkeys I ended up dying and lost my materials on a whole new island. Another thing is that trying to train monkeys get a little annoying when other monkeys are close or on top the one you’re trying to train. I wish there was a way that you can make monkeys stay in a spot without them unmimicking their skill. But honestly that saving progress thing need to be fixed. Its very annoying

Fun but crashes too much
Games crashes too many times now for it to be more than three stars. If they can fix the petrol crashing every 10 minutes then I’ll rate five
Bugs
It’s an amazing game but it crashes anytime I go into it but the first day I played was fine can you please fix this also I really liked the escapists 1 & 2 and I’ve been waiting for ages to get this game but it was a huge let down due to all the bugs
Great game but has a few annoying bugs
Sometimes when i want to open a chest/ pick an item/ give and item to a monkey (these are all actions that are done by pressing "Space") it dosn't work. I have to click space like 5 times until it works. Also sprinting doesn't always work (i have to press shift multiple times until it does) I also realised that when i am experiencing these issues, when i do a left-mouse click and try again it fixes them. It seems like the mouse click updates the game and enables me to do the Space/Shift action.

Great - for Singleplayer
I have been playing this game for a while now, I got it when it first came out. Minus the bugs here and there that were already fixed with the updates, it’s really fun. Then I tried playing with my friends. The multiplayer connection is crap. I connect with everyone through Game Center and hit play. Then the game says session not found when Game Center said connected. Big issue there considering multiplayer can be a big help to this game. I would rate it five stars, but the multiplayer is the only problem other than that, splendid game! I love the labyrinths, monkey helpers, realistic amount of materials for building a house, and the ability to let monkeys do almost everything for you. All in all, I’d rate the game 4.4 stars.

Brilliant fun game, constantly crashing...
I absolutely love this game, I can kill hours on it....except it crashes constantly. Devs need to incorporate some degree of auto save. The crashing has gotten so bad I cannot play through an in-game day without a crash.
Stuck on load screen, many glitches
This game has the potential to be a lot of fun to play; unfortunately the Apple Arcade version suffers from numerous glitches that cause players to constantly lose progress and makes the game almost unplayable. I wouldnt mind the “save using a bed” feature at all if it wasn’t for the app often crashing right before I’m able to get to one.
I’ve poured hours into this game, yet have made very little progress due to the app crashing about every 20 to 30 minutes. And as of this morning it looks like I’ve lost all of my save data bc the app is stuck on the load screen. It’s really frustrating to have spent so much time on this game and to have been so patient with it’s glitches, only to now be unable to access my save file.
I feel bad leaving a poor review bc I can tell that the developers poured a lot of time & love into this title. The game really does have a lot of fun world exploration and tons of potential. So I would definitely be willing to try playing again in the future and to update/change my review to a more positive one if the devs are able to get these bugs get worked out.

Great game, well worth playing!
I originally left a mixed review, saying I love the game but it was unstable and prone to losing progress as a result. In the two days since they’ve tweaked some things- no crashes, and they’ve made it so you can save anywhere at any time- which REALLY helps!
It’s a fun little survival game with a lot to do, a lot to explore- and monkeys! Without the monkeys it would be an okay survival game, nice to explore but with combat not really suited to mobile- but the monkeys take it to another level. The things that can be done with them, and the increased investment in the game as a result, is wonderful. (You need an option to pet them or give them treats though!)
There’s a lot to do and I found that I was driven to fewer, longer play sessions rather than dipping in for five minutes- I’d play for a couple of lengthier sessions a day. It could be played for a good length of time, and it’s chilled out and charming enough to enjoy doing so.
I didn’t realise there was an element of procedural generation- but however they’ve designed the generator, it works really well. (If you can’t tell, that’s a good sign!)
I’ll definitely be continuing to play this!
