It has its moments, you get your head on something you want to build/do, you do it and then you realize its just a sandbox world with no real objective, for me the game lacks on direction, create a big world and saying you have a massive sandbox is easy, give me a reason to play it.
And bugs, 1/3 of this game is bugs, still fun

Legendary classic, banger levels, banger soundtrack.

Game has its moments but from mid game on the game just doesn't evolve, higher tier armor and bosses are just bullet sponges, the gameplay peaks at the first time you have an indoor dark place to clear, after that it just feels like you are killing same enemies doing same ol stuff.
Also the game has some bugs and the menus navigation are a drag, why do I have a search mechanic so slow in a singleplayer game, even after getting the skill for it to be fast it is so slow with the amount of loot you constantly have to go through.
Bugs and QoL is something that should be improved and worked on, navigating the stash with the amount of pages seem dumb... why not just have 1 stash that has a scroll feature, that alone would help alot with off raid management.

PVE auto-battler, do not look anything up online, there are some massive combos that you can do but the fun of the game is your finding them out yourself, only thing you need to know is dont be afraid of rerolling stuff, use your flame as much as possible.

Amazing game and my first platinum on steam

Played Main campaign and The Following DLC.

Main Campaign:
For the main campaign the game has a wonderful world and vibe to it, the parkour around both cities is cool and all the underground/closed levels are well designed and fun to go around. The games sidequests didn't really interest me that much, there is no real reason to do them as story wise they were not interesting and reward wise you don't really have any reason to do anything besides the main story.
It would have been nice if the game focused more on giving you a reason to play at night, danger and fear you get while playing during the night on both maps of the campaign is amazing, there is just no real reason to do it, you get double XP during the night but the skill trees/rewards are all very trivial, the only reward really worth getting is the hook.
Speaking of the hook, that thing should not exist, once you unlock the hook its over, there is no reason to parkour anywhere that thing is too OP, that should be an unlock only after you complete the game to make it easy to transverse the map, you skip any type of movement challenge once you unlock it and it is clearly too OP to give to the player before the end of the main story.
Regarding weapons, I mostly skipped melee, it feels really bad, sometimes you kill enemies in 1-2 hits, other times you don't feels very inconsistent and just inferior do guns in general, I wish they just focused more on guns, zombies are very quick and unpredictable, their heads are constantly moving so using guns did not feel like you are overpowered against hordes, but they do feels very OP against "boss zombies", the shotgun was too strong and you literally 1shot every big zombie with it.

DLC The Following:
The DLC Story wise was superior to the campaign, it gives it a more mistery and horror vibe to it, now that is all the DLC as to offer, sidequests on DLC never felt like a challenge since you already have guns and unlimited ammo at that point, seems like they tried to make a GTA type of map, parkour is non existent in the DLC, instead they give you a buggy and a huge farm map where everything is just too far from each other to the point where you are just wasting time travelling around, while on the main campaign I never felt like I needed a fast travel, on the DLC if I had a fast travel I would have used it all the time, the main quest also tries to show you around the 4 corners of the map constantly and that just turns into a 5 minute car ride that was not engaging in the slightest.

Gun variety both in DLC and Main campaign is non existent, you have different DLC weapons but they are just different little flavours of the same type of guns, and there is no reason to ever upgrade anything, I crafted my guns at the middle of the main campaign and used the same exact setup through the rest of the game.

8/10

I have completed this game through the various stages of development, I would say most recently the endgame after plantera the game falls a bit, but before that experiencing this game and exploring the world feels amazing.

Must buy.

8.5/10

This game is THE horror/puzzle experience, some puzzles can feel obtuse but the whole vibe and experience of this game makes it the GOAT of horror games.

5.5/10

Didn't finish.

The game really was not made to be soloed, lacks endgame bosses and feels very slow to progress.
