Great game. Amazing RP and PvE community. PvP is great too, but has clear "skill brackets" that allow newer players to be pit against highly experienced ones. Other than that, amazing game. Only issue is that resolution and graphics and flip out on you out of nowhere. 8.5 / 10 for this reason alone.

Amazing game.

Loot is balanced: ( AKA -- Not giving you everything like it's holding your hand )

Enemies are deadly in numbers, and certain ones are deadly on their own -- But not impossible.

Extensive base building and self-sustaining techniques. Love it.

Excellent survival game, the map isn't the largest, but the survival aspect and looming danger when you go out keeps you on your toes; and allows for map size to not matter. Bandits are challenging, Zombies can creep up on you, and resource management can get difficult! 8.5 / 10!

Very good game. It has a lot of detail, different play-through every time, the AI is also a big bump up from previous games.

The only downside, is that people who have never played an RTS before, or a Total War game, will be absolutely clueless unless they look at the tooltips; tutorials, or YouTube videos.

Overall, 9.25 / 10. The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because loading screens can take up to 5 - 10 minutes.

At the beginning, there wasn't a lot to do, but each update has added hours of content. Played this on my wife's account, which has over 50 hrs.

Even without the DLC, this game is fun if you know anything about hunting and how it should be executed. I don't think people who have zero knowledge of hunting would have as much fun if they weren't in the mindset to learn. If they were willing to learn, however, I think they'd have a blast. DLC definitely makes it more immersive instead of fun.
