67 funny number Good game, would recommend. Played it for YEARS, the progression seems very well explained, despite the community's complaints over grinding being an issue, resources are quite easily gained. One thing to note, as the tutorial explains make sure to NOT neglect your weapon's current state, meaning if it does not do effective damage or your armor is not up to date you will have to work on that, that is a core aspect of this game and you may struggle if you don't.
There is ONE major issue with both games in this series. It's an issue of saving. You can only save in very specific locations and if you don't your progress is gone if the game ever turns off. But apart from that, this is a fun arcadey zombie fighting crafting exploration game! Kovak is a fun guide so the tone never veers into self-serious (which dragged down games for me like Dying Light) and I was about to work out the U.I quick. even without an extensive tutorial. Graphics are great! Combos and killing moves are flashy and satisfying and there's a variety in locations and enemies and metric truckloads of stuff to collect and put together. That one issue of saving holds back this game and the original. Otherwise, great great fun!
