Your basic HUD will keep you aware of your health and let you know if you’re getting hungry, but delving into the bigger metabolism menu is where you can find out everything you could want to know about your character and their current status present injuries, whether they’re losing blood, current heart rate, you name it. The whole thing can feel pretty overwhelming, but you can get by okay if you’re at least paying attention to your most basic needs like food and water. You can keep an eye on your character’s pulse, injuries they’ve sustained, even the amount of vitamins and minerals you’re taking into your body. Don’t get enough protein and you’ll see your strength fade in time. Your ability in specific stats can even deteriorate over time if you’re not getting proper nutrition. Older characters have greater wisdom, for example, but it comes at the cost of stats like strength and endurance. Even the decisions you make about your character’s appearance will have an impact on their health.
Unlike other survival games, SCUM keeps track of seemingly every aspect of your character’s physical condition. You traverse the sizeable open-world searching for additional supplies, weapons, and food to keep yourself alive. I don’t know many other games that keep track of how many teeth I have left.Īt its heart, SCUM is a survival game like DayZ or any other. On paper, it’s a pretty generic battle royale story, but the overwhelming amount of information thrown at you makes SCUM pretty unique. In SCUM, you play as a prisoner forced onto an island filled with other convicts forced to fight for the amusement of an audience watching from their televisions. SCUM, however, caught my eye with just how over the top its systems seem to be.
They require a vast amount of dedication and engagement, with menial tasks that I’m not typically looking for when escaping to a digital world.
