I bought the game to write a review, show some love to an amazing IP, and put a grain of sand towards someday getting a sequel, unlikely as it may be. I don't play on consoles, so I never heard of this game until it came as a weekly free title on EGS, but the trailer looked ok, so I installed it, launched it, jumped straight into "survival 2" difficulty, and started loving it before even finishing the tutorial. Enemies are though, ammo is scarce, and the characters are as rough as survivors of an apocalyptic event should be to be believable. Around mid-game resources become much easier to find/buy, but the challenges also grow significantly. Travel and exploration are an adventure on their own, whether in the relative safety of the bike or crouching from brush, car, or any other form of cover to the next. The story has a couple of McGuffin plot points and many side quests have the exact same kill->fetch template, but the main quest line is a very engaging emotional rollercoaster. The only thing I didn't like and didn't use is the Focus ability because it slows time. That's a mechanic that IMO should have a story based justification like in The Outer Worlds to be part of a game, although it could have a place during mounted combat, which uses auto-aim since controls are assigned to the bike.
