Duckside (Early Access) was sent my way by TinyBuild, and the game is honestly the definition of mixed feelings for me. I always appreciate being sent games, and as a person who loves survivor games, this was a nice treat. If you ever played The Forest or DayZ, you know what to expect here. The standard PvP and PvE stuff applies. You build a base, scavenge for supplies, cook food, raid bases, either PC or NPC.

This game, however, has the twist that you are a duck. The added feature that you can fly from the very start is also pretty cool. Everything honestly functions as it should, and there aren’t any weird glitches or anything. There is just one major issue that I have with the game.
I have never seen anyone play it. I mean that quite literally, after being sent the game early and building numerous bases ( all of which, for some reason, just disappear when I sign out and come right back in), every server was just empty. One time I randomly came across a sleeping duck that I killed and got starter equipment from.
Checking Steam views reveals that fewer than 70 people are playing as I write this, with 82 being the peak for the last 24 hours. The game is fun, and at $15, it is well worth the money, but with no player base on Steam, be wary that it could quickly become a ghost town on console as well. It is still a 7/10 experience, however. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
