I play it slow and cozy. No hoards, no base attacks. Just fighting in the villages and randomly in the woods. Base building and subsistence farming. A break from the real, hectic world.

Just play it. Everyone's view is going to be different. I play games I like, not because of someones view of the game. This one of those games I continue to come back and play. A lot of games get passed by or over looked, because people are easily persuaded by someones view point. Just play it and make your own review about the game.

Great Low budget survival game. Has all the core ingredients to keep you hooked for 100s of hours. Frequently updated and positive changes are always made. This being one of the first survival games I played will always be one I come back too. Loads of stuff to craft and the Bi homes are a great addition. The wildlife is fascinating and hunting crocs makes it a treat to play. Dev has done an awesome job and the infected are what EA games should aspire to be.
