Game feels like walking simulator

[Plandercozeron]

Episode with grey mother started pretty well. But now that bear hunting story is so long and boring that i have to force myself to play it. Seems that devs were like "let's make players walk two big a$$ locations (muskeg and another one) twice because we don't know how to make game interesting".
I'm done with the spear and now going to get parts from radio towers. Already been there. There're no POIs, there's no point to keep stuff because 95% of time you're overloaded and you never know where you get to the next part where you can't go back. Hoarding is useless.I never craft anything.
Go from point A to point B in most boring style. I mean, i get it - non-friendly wastelands, you have to survive. But game is too empty to capture player's attention

Carry fewer items, it will help you move faster.

Also, try higher difficulty settings and maybe play survival instead of story mode.

Story has 3 difficulty settings which roughly correspond to the first 3 settings in survival.

Personally, I also found story mode pretty boring but I really enjoy survival mode. I play on a custom setting which is kind of a mix of the 3rd and 4th difficulty modes.

That being said, this game does tend to be a mostly slow/meditative experience, puncuated by the occasional emergency (wolf ambush, sudden blizzard, etc.). If you are looking for a high-intensity game then TLD might not be for you :/

This is one thing about story mode that bothers me also. I don't have to worry about this in survival mode though.
