Got gifted a code for this on Friday and really wanted to give it a go as there has been quite a ground swell of support for this among a few reviewers and youtubers i trust. Id have to agree with them this is a top notch experience.
It got me thinking about why it got the stick it did and why the reviews where so mixed and i think its to do with rushing. If you try and rush and skip stuff your going to have a bad time, its a survival game at heart and you have to weigh up each sceranrio its quite stealthy and playing on normal anything more than a few zombies and you really can get into trouble very quickly. You don't ever have a massive amount of ammo or an endless ability to just bash back undead hordes, so you have to really play it defensively.
I think that's the real issue trying to bash through the story to meet a review deadline is actively playing against how the game should be played. one review complained about running out of petrol all the time which is just idiotic i haven't run out once as when your getting low a little detour for a top up is usually pretty rewarding. whether its clearing out zombie nests or stumbling upon someones failed last stand, scavenging and exploring areas never feels like a chore as you tend to come out with more resources than you went in with.
So yeah I'm really enjoying it, i love zombie stuff and this lets me feel like I'm surviving a zombie apocalypse, The bike is ace skidding about in the mud hitting jumps or just tearing away form zombie hordes, scavenging clearing out nests and running jobs for different factions is all great fun.
