DampSquib: Huge amount of fun, and often frustrating game, can be a time sink too,
Have fun surviving :)
Thanks again! Played for a couple of hours yesterday in the normal "hardcore" survival mode
(most of the time i was reading the in-game survival guide though):
~ definitely a fun game; the extra scenarios/challenges are worthy too, i hope more of them show up
~ lots of interaction with the gameworld; not only you can switch on home appliances, but you can also control them via their panel!
~ very good character generation system that reminded me of NEO Scavenger
~ sight/view cone mechanic that lets you only see what your character sees and makes up for a tense survival experience, especially when indoors where there's usually not much room for evading enemies
I could go on and on with what i saw in my first playthrough(*), but the point is that it's a very deep and highly interactive survival game.
* managed to survive for 11 hours having killed 9 zombies
(i guess i should have evaded some of them, especially that woman that desperately wanted to give me a hug while i was searching her bathroom for painkillers) and died in a dumb car crash accident while i was lost somewhere in the woods. :)
