Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As far as the gameplay goes,I liked that you are not led by the hand and, like in a real apocalypse, you have to make decisions independently and often irreversibly: tasks are rather descriptions of the general situation, not mandatory orders, so the game flow is more organic and lets you explore more than follow the dots as in many other games.
