All it's mechanics are the same as a zombie game by the same company. But there's a better storyline behind it, and a more interesting world.
However, All the same problems from the other game are in this game. Such as managing resources is more a chore than fun, constantly running back and forth between maps to get wood. And then keeping your hunger and thirst in check becomes more annoying.
This is a survival game, but even at higher levels there isn't any progress or helps playing easier.
I hope there would eventually be a skill tree where you can earn perks to stop hunger and thirst or grow your own trees on your land than running back and forth all the time.
