This review is for the version released on Steam... which is not the final version. Steam's version is a piece of trash.

Based on other reviews, the game is outstanding... just as long as you don't use Steam as your medium. Buy it from someplace else. The morons uploaded the wrong version (or so they say) onto steam servers and what you end up with is a giant piece of trash they call a game. The graphics are so terrible it's like you went back in time. .

The game play does not feel smooth. It's as though your movement on the coordinate plane is programmatically rounded up to whole numbers and your stupid character gets stuck on the most absurd places in the environment. It's happened time after time where my controls no longer work (and I can't even press Esc to get to the pause menu) and some zombie comes and beats the living hell out of me. .

That's not the only annoying bug that ruins the game. The dialogue audio is inconsistent and you have to end up reading rather that listening to what people are telling you. The audio constantly fades in and out at irregular intervals and it makes you want to skip the talking... but anyone who has played an RPG knows that it's not always good to skip the dialogue because you'll miss something important.

This game might be good, but what Steam offers is TRASH. I cannot wait for the update so I can play the REAL final release and write a decent review for this game.

I literally feel ripped off for getting this game. I paid full price and got half of a product. Now I get to wait to get my money's worth. I still hope it was worth it because I honestly don't even care about the game anymore.
