Free weekend tester: the game has a lot of potential for being a great eerie zombie mission/survival based game. The initial load into our first mission definitely set the tone for a creepy game that almost gave me Walking Dead vibes with the way zombies move and sneak around. The sounds in the game were good, I love the zombie noises, it definitely made them creepier sounding like crying/screaming people sometimes. The game was challenging, you can get overwhelmed easily if not careful.

One big con for me, the spawn system is frustrating. I would love to be able to feel the satisfaction of clearing out a heavily infested objective zone and not having endless zombies showing up, it takes me out of the immersion and instead I feel like I have to speed run it. If it was based on tiers of the objective that would be cool too. Clear the initial space and have room to breath until you trigger the objective (probably making noise) which pulls another wave or if its endless noise then its a rush to get out.

Some of the restricted pathing is a bit disappointing when exploring and not being able to swim was a bit sad. More so touching the water is very buggy, I was able to hop across a river about half way before it randomly killed me.

Lastly I would say the combat is "okay" - gun play feels good but the melee lacked a bit, I can't put my finger on it exactly but sometimes it felt sluggish in a buggy way, other times it felt fine. Also there was some frustrating inconsistency with zombies visibly being shoved back but coming back at me in a very abrupt/unnatural feeling way that got me hit even though they shouldn't have hit me.

I'd like to see where the game goes but I'm not quite sure I would personally buy it to play consistently just yet. Especially since my group of friends are more or less in the same boat. I give it no recommendation just yet since I wouldn't personally buy it where it stands.
