However, the underlying systems remain compelling enough to encourage continued investment, particularly for those who enjoy multiplayer sandbox experiences built around risk, freedom, and player-driven stories.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The high frame rate has allowed me to do things that are almost impossible in other survival games; eg. jumping around a rifle enemy with a melee weapon and still come out on top.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
