so far it's got great entertainment value and potential. It's simply a huge open world adventure playable in first or third person perspective.

You are just a normal person that wakes up on a beach, seriously hungry and dehydrated, with nothing but your clothes and a flashlight. There are no markers or power ups, food, water, and equipment all have to be found while dodging the zombies and other players as they tend to be kill happy assholes, but that's MM games.

When you're wounded, especially early when you still have nothing, you frequently die slowly because you have no medical equipment (you even have to take off you shirt to make rags so that you can stop the bleeding until you find something else to use). You have a blood type, BTW, but don't know your type unless you stumble across a testing kit.

So far the depth of this game is impressive even in this early stage.
