Gameplay

136 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is still in development and while the core gameplay mechanics like gunplay feel complete, it's still missing contents and some features.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
109 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a very compelling singleplayer extraction shooter with solid gunplay, great atmosphere, and mostly competent enemy AI, made by basically a solo dev.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its fuin, its engaging, it has a story i can actually make sense of.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They're arranged in such a way that the art style is cohesive so it's not immersion breaking.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization is surprisingly deep with a project zomboid perk/trait system and many options for gameplay difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has rewarding secrets, unexpected elements that will be added onto with future updates, and funny voice-acting as lizards stand around a safezone whistling and complaining.
