The video above offers some of my thoughts on the game, as well as a chunk of gameplay. You can also read a longer preview here. >The first game’s primary point of departure from genre zombie shooters was a clever story-based core, in which the player sought to create a community of survivors, rather than merely mowing down enemies. This dovetailed into crafting, building and social mechanics, as the community grew into new and bigger problems.
