METAL GEAR SURVIVE

The zombies, at least, the only variant I've seen, pose no threat whatsoever. They can't hit you even when walking at a brisk pace or even a mildly elevated item. The dodge upgrade lets you easily solo a crowd of them since they're slow and dumb as hell, there's a counter upgrade too but it's harder to time and does almost nothing. When I see a horde of zombies other zombie games, I think "Man, this is scary because I'd die if I make one wrong move" but in this game, the zombies often just hang back, slowly stumble around and slowly attack one by one rather than swarming you. Once you're done with that, have fun holding the R key to painstakingly loot every last zombie you killed (with the exception of "events" it seems) so you actually gain XP. Another thing I freaking HATE is the robotic voices, like yeah, they're robots, I get that but holy sh*t it's so grating to listen to and almost 70% of the game dialogue is delivered this way. The hunger and thirst mechanic feels more like an annoyance than anything, food and water not all that scarce and you don't really need to prepare all that much because the combat is already easy. The progression seems rather slow since I only got a crappy machete, spear, pistol and bow for the short time I've played and there's some paid booster "time-saver" garbage you can get for this singleplayer game that you've paid for. I think the best way to describe this game is that it's a dopamine game, like a mobile game. The zombies are easy enough to kill with a satisfying visual and sound effect and you press R to loot everything not nailed down without thinking about any of it because of the fairly generous weight system, there's no emphasis on stealth and no inventory management. If it's anything like MGS:TPP, there's a way to get "free paid currency" like a mobile game where you log in every weekend for very, very little amounts just so they can keep you playing late game. I guess if you're one of those people that like those mindless mobile games, which I know there are more people that I'd like to admit, you'll probably like this game.
