i came into the playtest expecting some survival slop to mess about on with friends for a couple hours and then move on, but i came out of it with one of my highest anticipated games of the year. the quality and care is obvious, the game oozes with love

the game is in early access and much of the content hasn't been added yet, but the game is still more than long enough (my playthrough was over 25 hours) and is very consistent in quality - the game doesn't feel unfinished at all until you reach the abrupt end. i would have been perfectly happy with it as a complete game, and the price is more than fair

there are a couple balance issues with the current content: guns start out useless, are very grindy to improve with, and never get more than okay, character builds barely matter and a lot of aspects of that system are poorly thought out (e.g. class meant to specialise into guns actually significantly gimps your ability to use guns), and late game there is a very easily obtained overpowered weapon that works for any build which trivialises a lot of challenges. these issues, while disappointing, don't significantly harm the gameplay experience

if you like half-life the references are really cute, if you like scp they have a bunch of those, if you like survival games i'm very sorry to hear that but they have at least finally made a good one
