The game is a mess, it wants to be an extraction shooter, but the mechanics are awful.

-You spawn in isolated from the rest of the lobby

-your character can sprint for days but will be winded after 3 swings, every zombie takes at least 2 swings

-zombies barely flinch when hit, and are fast enough to hit you mid swing

-the range of melee weapons is so off it feels like your depth perception is broken, you need to be hugging a zombie to hit them with a baseball bat or a shovel. It's like the devs have never seen anyone swing a bat before

-The game heavily implies a stealthy approach but in reality there is none, zombies can see you in the dark while you're crouched in a bush, they can see you while looking away from them.

None of these things individually would be a huge issue, but together they make for miserable experience. The melee issues mean the zombies will slowly chip away at you if you don't just get infected. Load outs are a joke, and character progression is a grind that resets if you die, you cant sneak around, so you spend most of your time just running around till you find people then run around together. Then if you're lucky after 20 minutes of running around you'll find an actual gun and have a little fun while some idiot yaps at you, then the game tells you to do it again so you can unlock the ability to swing your space distorting bat 4 times instead of 3.
