Surviv.io Doesn't Exist.
540The Surviv.io that many of us knew is dead. From its inception in late 2017 to around early 2020, Surviv.io for the most part was at the top of its game. Legitimately good gameplay and game lore to die for (in the eyes of some Surviv.io players).
Whilst the gameplay hasn't changed much outside of new modes and new weapons, the players have; which does not give the best experience. It would not be surprising of hackers and script users are still abundant, despite Kongregate's original plea to remove them from the game.
Whilst most games will pass their peak and never to return (.io games or otherwise, this is very natural), games like Surviv.io have had some of the most devastating downfalls to have ever happened.
Whilst events may boost the amount of players for some time, it does not fully reflect on the game itself. Events and special modes should not be relied on to fill even half of the server's limit. Even separating islands (which is one way to "force" players to make an account) makes it twice as hard to fill up the server.
I personally still have fun in this game whenever I play it, but something feels incredibly off when I do play it. Whilst this is my personal opinion, I do believe the game is one of those games that is past the point of no return unless a miracle happens.
You can argue the reasoning as to why and how Surviv.io declined, whether it be the updates before Kongregate became the new developers, or Kongregate themselves; I don't think that matters. Like any .io game that I've played, many of them have been plagued with unfair gameplay due to hacks and scripts, which I also believe is part of the decline.
Whilst the game is still operational and you can still play the game on multiple different platforms or browsers, the game as it is now is not the game that I remember even if the visuals and the gameplay are almost the same.
Surviv.io Doesn't Exist.
If it does, it's just a simple imitation of itself, like a parody except it was never funny or amusing.
Even the lore was completely destroyed. Regardless if people enjoyed it, the Surviv.io lore was what brought Surviv.io its charm in the first place.
This is my personal opinion. Take it as you will. What do you think?
