So this game has caught my eye because it seems different than the other survival games available.  The scenario is that your in a city in the middle of a war zone and you and your group are trying to survive, not as soldiers but as average people.  It's been getting some very positive reviews so I'm wondering if anyone has played it and has an opinion yet.

I just saw this today via the Queue and it was the first game I've seen on there in a while that interested me enough to add it to my wishlist.

I am gonna buy it very soon. Sorry I can't provide actual feedback, other than I want it. Badly.

Further proof that Italians have suspect taste in games.

I have it and its an amazing game and very difficult.  Pure bliss imho and about damn time we get a war game about ordinary people trying to survive.  It features a robust feeling of despair and survival.  You have to make really sticky moral choices and it has a fairly robust low tech crafting system.  With a day night cycle and multiple survival decisions and conditions to face.

One of the very few "serious games" that I can think of that actually sticks the landing and makes the argument that a game is the right way to make a point.

Played this yesterday. Was planning to go out with people from work. Ended up playing this. It is great. It is also very depressing.

I wish I could figure out why I am aggroing NPCs ... Have had a few restarts due to unplanned combats.

Amazing game. Depressing as FUCK. But amazing.
Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail
