If you visit the Steam page for early access survival MMO Last Oasis, you’ll find an article bluntly titled ‘Last Oasis Sucks’. It’s not written by a disgruntled player, nor an opinion piece pulled in by Steam’s news aggregator. It was written by Last Oasis’ developer.
Last Oasis is a nomadic survival MMO where players construct and travel in land-crawling fortresses called walkers. It entered Early Access in March of 2020, promptly experienced some major server problems, and three days later went offline and offered refunds. Last Oasis resurfaced, but concurrent player counts have wavered between a few thousand and a few hundred since, and its Steam reviews have remained firmly ‘mixed’. But players weren’t the only ones struggling to enjoy it.
