Great game, lots of fun sneaking around shooting freakos in the head and is genuinely scary af at times
I like the story and the world as such, but... that's about it on the positive side. The gameplay is too unwieldy and not enough fun. You aim like you've just downed 3 bottles of Jack Daniels and are trying to hit a randomly swaying target that can eat 10 bullets to the chest and 2 or more in the head. Stealth is way too finicky and uncertain with how slow you crawl around and how random the behaviour of the zombies is. Melee is a disaster, you can knife a rotting zombie 15 times straight and it'll just keep on hitting you like Mike Tyson. Crossbow is underpowered, ennemies are like pin cushions happily continuing to run around after multiple hits. The worst is that you can't stomp or terminate zombies that are passed out on the ground, no, whatever you do to them, they jump up and start energetically doing all the above. It's a mechanical disaster of a game in an interesting universe. But I'm not going to go from frustration to frustration just to be a bit immersed in a universe, if need be I'll watch a playthrough (but don't even feel like it 'cause it's not all that original and gripping either). So, uninstalled after 4 hours.
Great PS4 era classic, only play if you are okay with the fact the 3rd game was forgotten about and will never see the light of day. :(
