I wanted to like this more. However, the game is far too broken, with progression-blocking bugs preventing me from beating the game. The game is also far too short, with too few areas, and some hubs are only used once for a major objective or two and never used again. The devs also needed to decide if they wanted special infected or not, since there are so few of them, and two were only seen once and then never again. The quests needed more meat on their bones as well, as well as the story. I wanted to know more about the Prepper, Sondra, et al. Nothing is really ever explained in this game. The Prepper, Knight, and Sondra do a lot of talking, but it's mostly "move to this location and do 'X'" lines.

I will say that the oppressive atmosphere and feel of the game is very good, and kept me playing until I literally couldn't progress any further. I wasn't expecting an award-winning story, but the mood was good, despite the game's bugs never have been fixed since it released in 2015.
