What players say

88% of 9,653 reviews are positive · 92% of 254 in the last 30 days

Players praise the 1980s setting, environmental storytelling, and tension of risky scavenging trips. The most common complaint is that melee combat feels clunky and inconsistent, with awkward timing and stun-locks; players also report unpredictable zombie behavior and restrictive saving.
