Ooookay, so let's first start off with the weird: there are World of Tanks ads all over this game and I have zero clue why. Not like a little reference, I mean posters EVERYWHERE.
Performance: For me it ran fine (as it should on an R7-1700 + GTX1080 build), but according to other reviews I'm an outlier.

Left Alive is a single-player survival shooter. Therefore, you'd expect encountering enemies is highly discouraged, right? Well there's at least one encounter forced on you in the first chapter, with a second in the second. Past that? I don't know, because the game throws about 12 enemies at you in a hallway with no ammo (because it's a survival shooter, of course), instantly alerts them because cutscene, and gives you no other route out of the building. In less than two hours, the game has completely abandoned its design goals in favor of a rather clunky third-person shooter, without even taking the time to adjust you to it. Oh I'm sorry, before placing you against these enemies they give you an SMG. Don't mind that you have about two magazines and each enemy takes about 15 rounds to kill because exoskeletons.

Twitch highlight posted at the bottom to showcase the problems I have with this game. I will update this review in an hour or so to include a Twitch highlight from my stream that showcases every issue I have described. I would refund this game if I could, but I unfortunately bought it from GMG. Luckily for me, it wasn't full-price.

TL;DR: this game feels like the developers wanted it to be Metal Gear Solid, but combined between them they have about 45 minutes playing the end of Survive.
