I thought I'd be chilling in the wilderness, making a fire, cooking beans and maybe chatting up the occasional survivor. Yeah no. About five minutes in I'm crouched in a pitch-black building holding a knife like it's Excalibur while some zombie horde claw at the door like I owe them money. The scenery? Beautiful. The atmosphere? Immersive. The game? Pure panic disguised as survival. I love it and hate it in equal measure - half the time I'm sneaking around like a terrified racoon jumping at every twig snap, the other half I'm jumped by other players and wondering why I thought I'd make it out alive. So here's the catch: don't get attached to anything. Not your character, not your stuff or the friendly stranger you split beans with. Honestly, I've learned to say goodbye the moment I spawn.
