enemies too weak and game too easy
all of the enemies have too little hp, you can 1 shot almost every cannibal if you just click in the right place to slice their limb off in 1 hit. for a game that strives for realism you cant just cut off a limb in 1 slice in real life, especially with a katana. that weapon is too strong you can just crouch infront of a fingers hit it in the legs 5 times and its dead in 2 seconds. i go across the forest an 6 fat cannibals attack me but their all dead in under 20 seconds because of how easy it is too just cut their limbs off.
enemies only attack you 1 at a time, it makes it way too easy i can just insta kill 1 then just wait for another than parry it easily and kill it and they are all dead because they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that keep running away and waiting their turns making it very easy. slicing limbs off should take 4+ hits on that specific join and even more if armor. cannibals should swarm you or coordinate their attacks then them just standing and going at you one at a time. some of them could go behind you on purpose while your fighting a different cannibal. im on day 45 and maximum difficulty on custom game.

Keep going. You'll be wishing you had these days back by the time you get to day 75 when basic enemies can tank 5 shotgun blasts to the face.

Make a custom game and max out enemy armor and damage. You will miss the game you are in now lol. In custom mode you can make the game as hard as you want.

Considering a simple fingers mutant can knock off half the best armour in game on normal i think the game enemies are hard enough. But thanks anyhow.

Are you sure they can do this? I've been hit my fingeers with solafite armor and it didn't cut it all in half. I think it was one or two pieces.

Yes for sure more than half 1 hit. Fingers can hurt you bad close in

The big stomach monsters really put the hurt on your armor. But those really quick spinny mutants (in the screenshot above) are truly nasty; I usually take a hit of "Greg" and turn them into sushi with my golden katana).

Yes so easy. Just have to memorize every attack pattern otherwise your dead in 2 or 3 hits.

Jeez, such a easy simple game.

OP i think you got to much time on your hands.

there is no attack pattern. i just use a katana and walk up to a cannibal and hit it once and its limb comes off then i repeat until all of them are dead in under a minute. even with the twin mutant you just walk behind it and slice its ass with a katana and its dead after 2nd time you do that. fingers you just pre emptive click its legs and its dead with 2 extra clicks. all of that requires no brain function

i have to wait until day 75 to get a challenge. i dont think it will be much different in 30 days if they are already this easy

The enemies on easy settings are very easy, far too easy... however enemies are fairly difficult on max settings especially in confined areas. The thing that I get annoyed over is that in the caves I hardly hear anything run towards me, even when I see them, even when it's some 15 foot high meaty big bastard! and the flashlight doesn't help either as it blocks most of your view with fog,

Yeah thats funny, I have the opposite perception. When I shoot a tall cannibal in the face with the pistol and it takes 3 head shots to drop, that is too hard, and unrealistic.

You talk about the weakness of melee weapons in real life... I dont think youve ever used one. A sharpened wooden stick (spear) in real life can pretty much insta-gib anybody who isn't wearing armor in one blow anywhere center of mass.

My first play through I had all enemy settings to low and it was way too easy, especially after upgrading weapons. This new play through I keep enemy stuff to normal except for the damage they cause is set to low. This seems to be a better balance for fighting and you don't get taken out too easily. As far as enemies being taken out by a severed limb, I think that's pretty much how it should be. I wouldn't expect someone to keep coming at me if they just lost a limb from a katana hit.

Yeah, those settings sound good, I am currently in the caves on a new game getting one tapped by monsters I can't hear or see very well.
