This War of Mine

Decent game, but very frustrating.

The game gives you no tutorial whatsoever. This is fine for the basic mechanics, as they are fairly simple and learning them through experience and intuition is satisfying. Where it is not fine is in the combat. I got 4 or 5 hours in before engaging in any combat, and died immediately without any understanding of why. (I clicked the little attack button repeatedly and never attacked the enemy; even though I had a knife and he was unarmed, I ended up getting punched to death.) With the game having permadeath, this is fairly inexcusable. Everything in the game is so scarce that losing one of my three characters like this made the whole experience feel like a pointless waste of time, and I ended up quitting and uninstalling out of frustration.
