Overall not sure why this game has very positive reviews, this is a very heavy story driven game and the story is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
The pacing is god awful, characters will go against or completely change their personality to progress the plot, it's like they're mentally lost or I have been left out of the loop for several years as to why they would behave that way, it's just bizarre.

However, the combat is fun, specifically mowing down hoards. Killing people NPC's isn't as satisfying, as mostly all enemy NPC'S die to one shot to the head (playing on survival btw) unless they're something like a bear, tanky freak or armoured npc.

Crafting and gathering is kinda cool, eventually you're just always topped up on resources though so it's not really ever an issue. Only issue is the jarring cutscenes for gathering meat from animals or plants, so I end up not collecting it.

Visuals are great, especially if you play on survival as the hud is hidden, unless you use your survival sense or w.e it is. Makes for great cinematic shots especially when you're riding your bike, talking about the bike, very cool, feels good to manoeuvre even on K&M.
