Only a few hours into it so far but i have been thoroughly enjoying it. A quick disclaimer for anyone looking into buying it, yes there are certain survival elements to the game on certain locations that add a different layer of complexity to it. I would love to see them expand upon that. The game doesn't take a whole lot of brain power, sure, but its nice and relaxing. Doing math to make sure you order enough stuff, cutting things right (although there's some leniency) and just building the homes from the foundation up (even other elements of the home too as you get further).

Some stuff i would love to see in future updates is more in-depth customization with the decorations and stuff, maybe add a hint of House Flipper to it so we can build and furnish the homes. Adding more survival elements would be cool too. I would also love to see a sandbox mode or a "blueprint" mode where we can design and build our own projects. I haven't seen if they have a road map but i would love to see one.

Being a huge nerd for WW2, i knew i just HAD to have this game when it came out. I'm going to recommend this game because most of the time i have a blast playing it. Except for when i don't. I'd have a lot more hours played if it wasn't for some of the issues i have run into.

I have positives but i'll start with the negatives I've encountered. The first 4 or 5 days in-game were great but i haven't been able to get passed the next day because i keep getting bombarded by like 10 enemies at once and they have pinpoint accuracy whereas it takes me 5 shots (aiming directly at their heads) before they'll drop and taking that many shots per person when there's 10 enemies shooting back in my direction is so difficult. For this either increasing time to kill for us or reducing AI accuracy might solve this issue. Also in the missions where is says to use MG Station 1, the enemies seem to be hitting me inside the bunker with every shot from really far away when you'd think it would be a little harder for them to hit you while inside the bunker. Maybe dial back their accuracy or make the hit box while inside the bunker not so easy for the AI. Lastly, i think the friendly AI needs a little work.. Try to have the one I have follow me when i go patrolling and they walk slow as molasses and also don't react to enemies unless i tell them to stop following me. After that they just go back to the bunker and leave me alone. Would love to see them at least walk faster and react to enemies while in follow. I also wish you could actually chop down trees instead of just finding logs around the map.

But there are good things! Lots of them actually. I love the strength system as you work out or carry heavy rocks, the Morse code for getting missions and submitting your reports is cool, the cooking system being so in depth is pretty great. I do like that you have that hidden area within the bunker where you can find med supplies, food, and ammo for the big guns.

If you love WW2, definitely get this game as it is still early access and i'm sure they will work out all the issues in time as they have a really nice road map. If anyone has recommendations on how to get around the issues I've been running into i'd love to hear them as i just want to keep playing this game but I get so frustrated.

I want to start off in saying yes, i know that i only have 3.5 hours in the game but i felt the need to give my honest first impressions of the game. Overall, i actually love this game. The core concept of it, the amount of stuff there is to do so far, as well as the different elements of surviving against the zombies and the NPC enemies and being able to have workers helping you with crafting and such (although i haven't seen that yet in my playthrough, just a YT video).

The one problem i have with this so far is with the injury/death system. How come when i heal an injury, once its done being healed i have literally the same injury again but worse? I was thinking i'd be in the clear once my bandage wore off so i didn't have anymore bandages on me and continued to scavange for the missing sparkplug i needed to get my car moving again. Found the spark plug and bam... "leg severely injured" "bleeding" pop up on my screen and i start dying fast. Finally get back to my car and am in the MIDDLE of bandaging and die, losing a bunch of stuff and spawning so far away. When i spawned i was even healing from the bandage i used while i died. If you could tweak the way the injury system works by making it so that one bandage will heal your wound over time, or at the very least put a warning saying "you will have to use bandages multiple times before the wound completely heals" that would be awesome.

With that being said, 2 thumbs up so far. Keep up the great work.
