Or I went to the Steam page and read the information. It sounds exactly like H1Z1, sans zombies, and H1Z1 is a shit game. In fact, they fucking cite H1Z1 on their Steam page as if that's some kind of positive reference material.

Even from the headline, I have no clue where he got the minecraft reference. What part of:
- last-man-standing shooter
- Players must fight to locate weapons and supplies
- massive 8x8 km island
- be the lone survivor
- BATTLE ROYALE
has anything to do with Minecraft?

This is the dumbest-sounding shit I've ever read. Aside from insane Russian men and massive griefers, I can't fathom who makes up the audience for this type of game. It's like the antithesis of Minecraft.
Oh, and of course it's early access, because why would anyone release *yet another* of these open-world survival games when it's actually done.
Read more than headline and/or play game then comment

Of course, the Battle Royale mod for Arma 2 and H1Z1 would argue against you. And this is designed by the original modder as well (PLayerUnknown).
It's also not really a survival game like you're thinking. It's rounds of combat. You're dropped off and have to scavenge the area for armor and weapons (of which there are plenty) and every few minutes the map area gets smaller and smaller thanks to an electrical field the closes in, pushes everyone together to force engagement and the round ends when everyone except one is dead. It's not like it's an open world wander around aimlessly thing.
They've also had many alphas and such and it actually plays pretty well already. It needs some code optimization to make it run better, but I'd actually say it's already further along than H1Z1 is.
