I tried the classic mode and then played most of the first story. The basic survival gameplay loop works well but something that didn’t quite click with me about gameifying the experience of a civilian in a war torn country. Obviously it’s done with more care than the direct military propaganda of the popular AAA fps franchises, but something feels really off about diminishing such a haunting experience down to a survival game with all the genre-expected gameplay tropes. I was min-maxing manmade horrors.
