This reviewer is a clown. The fact that they only played this game over a weekend and then broke it down as if they understood the entirety of the game is downright hilarious. Yes the main objective to the game it to survive. That's the premise behind it. But surviving is key here. You have to learn how to protect yourself, find weapons, locate rations, craft essentials, heal yourself from illnesses, find medical supplies, build bases, and oh yeah interact with and potentially battle it out with players who may or may not be aggressive.
During the course of your journey, you encounter other players as I've said before. Many of these players are friendly and many are not. I've made a number of friends playing this game simply because they were in need of rations or a bandage and I was there to help them out. They've returned the favors over time with guns/ammo that I've needed so there is the trade aspect of this game as well. Then there are the players that are KOS (kill on sight) types which will not even give you the chance to find out if they are friendly or not.
Then there are the locations which you can visit which can reward you with the best loot but also come with very high risks as KOS players tend to camp these areas as they are known as higher traffic areas. Here are the places where you will run into other players at a higher frequency. Again, some are friendly and others are not. That's all part of the experience and trusting other players takes time.
This game isn't without it's problems as they've been well documented and the developers are working at improving the game regularly. It's still an incredible playing experience and the best $50 I ever spent on a game aside from GTA V (which I bought twice ). But to spend a weekend playing a game and then act like you can accurately portray whether it's worth it or not is plain irresponsible. This game takes weeks to learn and appreciate. After one week of play, I wasn't thrilled with it. Once I learned more about survival skills and key points to the game I was hooked.
Yeah, it so unpopular that there are literally thousands of private servers now running at any one time. People are paying to play on their own servers. This game is not without issues but is incredible to play. Bunch of haters ^

Don't be fooled by this fool of a reviewer.
