“Today i tried LOST SCAVENGER it is a really great idea and seems to have much to offer, although it took me some time to find a way to switch to English... it is an option, and the time lag for eating is frustrating,…”
“First of all this game has taken a lot of ideas from "NEO Scavenger" which I really liked. So far, even if the game is still in an pretty early stage and very difficult it is already fun.”
“Worth a try if you are in dire need of a niche survival genre game and dont mind reporting bugs every couple of minutes. Its very early in its development stage and has many bugs, some of them quite gamebreaking.…”

“Very much along the lines of Neo Scavenger .... but it is not an improvement in its current state. Crashes quite a bit too.”
“Can't say I recommend this at it's current state. UI is a bit clunky, 'experimenting' with recipes yields items disappearing, thirst/hunger seems sloppy and imbalanced, it's always ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ raining, drowned items seems…”

“Lost Scavenger is still in early access but given that and the learning curve in the game, I believe this one can go places. It has loads of replay value, is well priced and the game does make you think. But remember…”
“Cool take on a Survival game. But.... Had to refund it due to a memory leak, seems it's not quite ready for release.”

— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I'm recommending this game based solely on it's potential, and not its current state. In all honesty it's a hot mess. That said, with Blue Bottle in full swing with Ostranauts, we won't see a continuation to NEO Scavenger for many years. Respectfully, Ostranauts is a great…”

The developer has dropped all future of the game under the excuses of a lack of funding. It is not complete as it stands and it unplayable for the most part. He has not and never will address the crushing…”
