Though I’m not far into the game, just got to the hot springs (2nd outpost you visit) and headed back east while exploring along the way. Watching the previews of the game it said the zombies would be faster than you so getting a lay of the land and setting choke points would be key. Knowing this I started playing the game on hard, I mean who wouldn’t with a challenge thrown down like that..... so far found this to be untrue. I’ve easily ditched small hordes with some Molotov’s, some stamina, and taking a few corners to break line of sight. The damn wolves in the game have more kills on me, followed by falling, than the zombies do by far. Just starting out in the game and already finding outposts that should probably have bad guys of some kind, but they’re empty. The fact that you can’t mark enemies is annoying but I see you can unlock some form of that later, if it works. The rock distraction is nice but Wish there was a “whistle” distraction as well so I didn’t have to use a rock to throw at my feet to bait the zombies closer. And the game decided to glitch last night and allow me to walk/fall through rocks and bridges. That was fun. The blue question marks that appear so you can save someone seem to appear a mile away and don’t stay on your mini map long so you literally have to drop everything and sprint/ride that way to have a chance at doing anything. only playing it for a weekend it seems like the “percent complete” on things is going up alarmingly fast making me think this will be a short game that will be tossed in the “had potential but dropped the ball” pile. We’ll see what happens after I get further in the game.
