This is just a DOWNGRADE, plain and simple.

Just 40 minutes of gameplay? You haven't played enough

That's more than enough for this game. the new gameplay concept no longer punishes you for rushing or hoarding shoes. Low HP is no longer a concern since passive health regen exists or food. It's literally spoon feeding even at the hardest difficulties. Being able to escape the death rooms just makes them more mediocre than they already are.

But there are enemy NPCs in the game now

They clip through the ground or get locked inside a room often. The attack delays are comical, they can also get harmed by traps and ignored if you cheese their movement patterns.

At least the models look decent enough in the videos...

Every asset in this game was just downgraded when compared to the predecessors. The customization and loot boxes were just taken apart, models were probably bought from some 3D store, no clothing combinations, race diversity; there's only a old asian man, a black guy and two european girls...

There are some things it gets right, like the QoL improvements; better fov, round restart, revamped lobby creation. I would be surprised if this game was playtested at all though. A enemy NPC can hurt you through walls, fire and projectile traps can harm you even if you're behind a door.

HALF DEAD 3 could have been just a update to its predecessor...
