Best sport out there.

This game doesn't look nearly as fun as it is to play. However, it does lack some content and isn't actually nearly as difficult as I had hoped. Wish there was some sort of interesting randomized system for bosses, or at least some bosses to make advancing to the next level feel special. There aren't any at all.

It's too expensive for what little it offers, and I refunded the game in the end.

Don't buy this if you loved the Fallout franchise. It is dead.

If you just want Far Cry done worse in a post-apocalyptic setting with a story about as interesting, go for it.

Alpha was hot.

Yup, want my money back.

Truly, what an amazing game this is! I've been sucked in for well over 12 hours in one sitting, something that very rarily happens for me with an indie game like this. (The play-time counter is broken for some reason...) The soundtrack is really good, it perfectly illustrates the doubt and fear in this group of survivors you're trying to lead. The gritty art style is very, very nicely done. The sketchy look and dull, grey colors do a really good job of showing this ravaged urban area. The stealth system is quite advanced, and the combat is random and really nervewracking (Think of XCOM). Losing a beloved member of the group is really a deep pain, and it echoes throughout the group. They mourn their dead and might even become depressed. The looting is very rewarding, and the limited inventory space forces heavy inventory management. Nothing like sneaking through a bandit camp and stealing all the goods that they themselves have stolen from others. The trading is very fun and well done, and it forces a lot of tough decisions. Do I want tobacco/alcohol that I may be able to sell for a good amount of food/materials, or do I want to just bring a smaller amount of materials or food and avoid the risk of not being able to sell it when I need food the most? The decisions you have to make are tough. I found myself robbing an elderly couple in pure desperation, only to stop for a moment and realize what I'd just done. The game has good replayability to a point, as it's somewhat randomized.

All in all, one of the best, if not very best, survival indie games I have ever played. 10/10, would starve to death again.
