Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Gameplay and graphics, lack of intentions to make the game good, nothing makes it feel like a real survival game
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Would love it if we could choose whether to play as male or female and customise our characters appearances and would love to see this getting its co-op/multiplayer game mode up and running, i love the simplicity and calm of the single player game play but i think this would also be a lot of fun with friends too.

Which is why I'm incredibly happy I got the soundtrack too.
