Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
130 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not only does it save bullets, it builds your fitness skill - which lets you carry more (much more with a good backpack) and keep the tougher zombies off you better.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Contains a good number of well conceived multi-option quests, well-rounded and flawed characters and a clever dialogue system even though sometimes gamey recruitment requirements for key characters - such as luring zombies near to them to increase respect.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For it's price and size - the game is jam packed with content with so much left for developers to explore - current mechanics are one hell of a playground for some open world sandbox, and if added multiplayer(this game already has co-op, but nothing big like massive servers with custom maps, at least i havent seen it ) - this could turn into even more of a gem.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For me, I'm interested in the difficulty of surviving, which this game does perfectly with food, water, sleeping, stamina, blood loss, ect. even things like lung cancer from cigs, dehydration from alcohol, even insulin for diabetics, this game takes it to the next level!
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.

I purchased this for me AND my friend, we both enjoyed playing together, figuring out how to make others join us, laughing at the glitches...
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack has a couple of good tunes in it, but to sum up: "Its good, but not great" The controls I found to be spot on, and I could always get my character to do what I wanted, when I wanted.
