Such a fun game and one that will cause you to lose track of time. If you are into open world zombie survival games like Project Zomboid or 7 days to die or Vein, this game is for you. the atmosphere and gritty feeling is something I personally love and it gives it a feeling similar to The Walking Dead. There are a few things that need ironed out like hand equipment slot being a bit inconvenient and the vehicle camera angle being to close but overall it is a fun experience.

Off the bat, I won't write a review for a game that I love (because I'm too busy trying to play it). I'd rather YOU build your own impressions of it and fall in love with said game for yourself. That said.... Recently my wife and I both bought a copy of this game because Zomboid is lacking in some immersion that we both felt this game may have. We ran into some problems though. I'm constantly getting stuck on flat pieces in the environment leading to death. Sometimes we both feel like if you're having a great run and the game does something that seems oddly like the game throws something at you that's a bit unfair and about impossible to survive through. I can explain some situations if you care to hear it later. The reticle starts doing some crazy stuff randomly and it's been like that since we bought the game. Sometimes in custom settings you load up a setup that would naturally be a bit easier (ie. more this or that and less this or that) so that we can have a run that's more fun and can last longer. Keep in mind we're both still somewhat new. Then when starting the game with these custom setups, it's very clear that the custom settings do the exact opposite. For example I wanted more loot for us and when the settings were applied we spawned into the beginners spawn and there were almost NOTHING for the entire run to loot. It wasn't an operator error either. It was clear that the game just failed to spawn anything to loot. Minus a shirt here and there. There are a ton of other issue's but all of these could be overlooked because there is fun to be had playing with friends BUT.... Here's the main problem. If you manage to put together an amazing run and put in a 6 plus hour play session then it means absolutely nothing. Because at any point when you log out and come back, the game for no reason whatso ever can decide to ERASE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE and delete your file. Hours gone. Of course you can read go into your %appdata file and delete this or that but what you'll find is that if you manage to somehow TRIP THE GAME OUT to finally load the file then you've now been reset back to level 1 and all of your stuff is gone, all that you've built or done gone, any missions you completed gone, yet this game has the nerve to smear that into your face by saying "you survived for "X" amount of days" but then treats you like you didn't survive at all. That's infuriating as you could imagine. Here's my FK this game moment. Recently I was looking into why this "save file" problem was happening because I had no clue this was an actual thing and I see a dev responding. I think that's cool so I click on the devs profile and find that the dev here has put only 6 hours into HIS OWN GAME over the last 2 weeks. If fact he only has 700 hours into this game total. With so many problems that will NEVER be addressed with this game you start realizing that 6 hours in 2 weeks isn't crap. I see that this Dev has put more time into Sims4 (a free to play game) and has played Fishing Planet (a free to play game) more than his own game and it dawns on me that they've pretty much given up and said fk it. If that isn't nuts to you then I don't know what else to say. I get a Dev has to take a break here and there but to release a "road map" of disappointment of things that they'll do that won't matter but not even playing their game is fubar. These problems I've mentioned should be simple enough to "fix". Making this a twin stick shooter/survivor would fix a ton of issue's when talking about the gun play. Focusing on controller support NOW instead of AFTER a console launch would be better for the game... but they won't do that. I'd argue that NOTHING is going to change but they'll just release a console version for a quick money grab and a year later vanish. Here's my suggestion Dev team. Sell or hand over your dev files to The Indie Stone so that they can merge your game and Zomboid. At least your time would then be better spent making this the game that you'll NEVER be able to create. It's sad because you could have replaced Zomboid but now you're holding your place as a Temu knockoff of a game you could have surpassed.
