The games core gameplay just isnt good. The whole game is attack, dodge, attack with absolutely no weapon attack variety. Enemies have hyper targeting and are faster than you in every way. I made it to lvl 13 using a levelled up claymore and would frequently get hit mid-attack animation from an unaware enemy who just instantly snaps to me. The archers are the most glaring example of this, they'll just backstep/shoot until your dead, while you barely have enough total stamina for 1 full attack rotation. I kept playing waiting for the combat to expand of the enemies to change attack patterns but they don't. If you play the game for 20 minutes you've seen all the game has to offer. Don't even get me started on time-gating upgrades on a non-mobile platform.

I feel like "good will devs" are just a cover for releasing these unfinished, uninspired games without eliciting backlash over the price point. I'm sure some people will like this but if you're on the fence I wouldn't buy it, I honestly don't see how a few additional game modes over the course of a year are going to fix this games glaring issues.

What a joke

Bacon - Check.

Game delivers as advertised.

Better than No Mans Sky!

Nominate for Terrible Game

Full of bugs and it gets boring. I've spent more time on the settlement building aspect than the game. Also, the save issues with survival are a pain in the ass. Game'll freeze up from time to time and it only saves when you rest. This is fine until you're in an area like glowing sea where you can play for a solid hour before being able to rest somewhere to save and your game freezes, dumpin all your progress. It doesn't happen very often but it's frequent enough to discourage me from going much further in the game. I can also deal with the fact it's rpg elements have been sacrificed to an extent, but the dialougue options are a joke. You can answer anything however you want and the outcome will always be the same. Aside from getting some xp for persuasion options there's no reason to even interact ewith the other characters, they could have just as easily made everything cutscene like with no input on your end. All in all, it's an OK game. Buy it on sale, don't waste money on the dlc's except maybe far harbor if you really enjoy the game. It's a 50/50 for me but I'll downvote because of the bugs, you spend half the time having fun and the other half fighting the engine.

I still come back to this game time to time. Extremely fun, I wish they'd make a sequel.

I wish I could give this a nuetral review. It's not terrible but it's not fantastic either, many of the things you're capable of doing are completely arbitrary. Sure you can make a shelter, but they fall apart like paper if you use wood. Check the forums, people dont make homes they exploit zombie movement mechanics which make it more efficient to just make a floor of spikes and a platform above to shoot them. Sure you can make weapons, but anything short of the .44 and a few other weapons basically guarantee you wont kill the horde day 7. Which brings me to the whole random world gen thing, you better find a city by day 3 or 4 to get all these pieces and prints or you'll never survive day 7, unless you exploit horde mechanics and wait out in the distance for the horde to spawn so they zero in on the wrong location. It's not bad, it's just not very good. Don't take my word for it, check forums and see the new player advice. Crouch in corners at night and afk for 15 minutes until the sun rises, dont waste resources on a shelter. Some of the craftables are uneccesarily difficult to craft as well, it seems like more of an artificial difficulty barrier for the hell of it (looking at you 20 animal hide for a forge). Sure it's open world, but there's only a handful of ways to succesfully play, so it's not really.

20 years later and the only cheat code from any game I remember is cmgsmmggts. Also, this game's awesome, nostalgia overload.

Game is crazy fun, it reminds me more of demons souls than dark souls which is fine for me as that was my favorite one.
