This plays like a difficulty mod.
This is not a game that is meant to be fun for the majority of gamers, this game is meant to be survived, and as a second job reserved only for masochists and the hardcore… As it plays like it was made by modders, not developers as they are iron focused on difficulty and rebelling against what elite gamers consider casual, as this game is in no way made to be fun for all, but survived by a select few… Its idea of fun is to limit everything that makes video games fun for the majority of players, by crippling the player with an oppressive RNG as well as limiting the freedom for the player for the sake of difficulty, just as with the majority of difficulty mods… But as a game, it's too much of a chore to be fun as it was designed to limit the player at every turn, sure you have skills, and whatnot, but everything from the one-sided bartering system that deters selling, your loot, to the inventory and your money being scarce as to simulate the hardships and many unpleasantries of living in a post-apocalyptic world. Which is incredibly effective from an immersive point of view, but it turns out to be a chore as a gameplay mechanic, so if you love simulated hardships in your game, then please go out and buy this game! Well I don't buy games to survive them, I buy them to have fun, otherwise it's just work! No disrespect to those that crave consistent and permanent challenges, indeed, their role is vital for keeping a balance, so gaming doesn't turn into an interactive screen saver, but if it's ONLY for the elite, you will not have the large audience nor be as memorable to the gaming landscape, aside from a certain percentage of elite gamer, much like with mods. So buy this game if you're an elite gamer, as it was custom-made for you, but if not, then find another game as this game is not for you!
