best and worst early access games so far

best: Kertbal space program, neo scavenger ( now complete I think), don't starve
worst: dayz, rust, starbound

best: prison architect, kerbal, darkest dungeon

worst: anything on jim sterling's channel

1 you should try if you're in the genre of games like overlord is Nekro, the only problem it has is that whenever they patch it you saves get deleted.

Best: Rust

Worst: NETHER

Best: 7 days to die
Worst: H1Z1

I only have one early access game that I've actually played and that is The Forest. Not only was it cheap but it was also money well-spent because the game looks amazing and the gameplay is great. But the best thing about it is the stream of monthly updates that patch bugs and actually implement ideas from the players. They even added a co-op mode though I haven't played that yet.

Best : Door Kickers but it's out of early access now.

Long Dark is Great too

Speedrunners is great!
Worst: Slaughtering Ground

Best SpeedRunners
Worst House of Nightmares B- Movie Edition

Underrail is a great isometric RPG in early access.
Anyone who likes the old Fallout games should definitely check it out.

In steam:
-Best: Besiege, Killing Floor 2.

Out steam:
-Worst: CubeWorld (paid 10$ and the game was cancelled)

Best:
Project Zomboid
BeamNG
Plague inc
Killing Floor 2

Worst:
Rust
ARK (at least for now)

The best that I have tried is Grim Dawn and Viscera Cleanup Detail.

WORST: DayZ

Worst: Starforge

Fuck that game with something rusty and permanent.

Best: Beseige, Starpoint Gemini 2

Worst: Starforge, Windborne

Good ones:
Killing Floor 2
Plague INC: Evolved
Dota 2 Reborn

Bad ones:
Don't remember any right now

@edit:
Ok... maybe Dota 2 Reborn ins't an "early access", but... yeah. Disconsider that.

I like Darkest Dungeon.

Out of the EA games I've played, the best would be Moonrise while the worst is Grass Simulator.

The former because it's already really well fleshed out and runs beautifully on my craptop and its a unique take on the Pokemon formula with gorgeous designs for their critters and the devs are really nice. The latter because it's Grass Simulator.

I was impressed with Hand of Fate. They constantly improved graphics, mechanics and balance all throughout early access. They communicated well and patched issues very quickly. The first content DLC was also free for people who purchased it in early access. Overall I was extremely pleased.

Good:

• Brawlhalla
• Darkest Dungeon
• Storm United

Bad:

none yet

Bought my friend ARK and it didn't even start up.
Before you mention specs he has 2 Nvidia Titan Cards 24gigs of ram and 16 gigs of video memory,Windows 7 64 bit,and an 8 or more core processor.(forgot the specific model)
