After my first run try of 7 Days to Die I learned an important lesson. Reading is good. I jumped in without reading anything about how to play and got my ass kicked repeatedly as soon as night fell. With the sounds and the aggression level of the zombies it is actually kind of scary. After that it felt kind of frustrating so I started searching around to see if I was missing something and it turns out I was missing A LOT.

Check out this intro video guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK3ubcV3MCI and this wiki http://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/7_Days_to_Die_Wiki. I learned important things like how to reload my freakin' gun!

If you were frustrated or disappointed in the game in the past I would highly recommend giving it another chance. Once I educated myself on how to play I've been having a blast ever since and that was just running around playing solo. Can't wait to try multiplayer.
