I think this game is pretty good for what it is trying to do. It does seem empty or bland at times but I don't think it is anything too serious. I am level 7 and have unlocked just the medical wing so far.

PROS:

- Great atmosphere (feels immersive)
- Side quests are short and rewarding while adding nice background to the story
- Combat is decent
- RPG elements done well
- Loot is done well so far. Have yet to experience end game drops.
- AI is done well. They usually try to flank you whenever they can.

CONS:

- A lot of running back and forth. There is fast travel to certain locations but sometimes I feel like I should have a bike or something.
- Kind of barren. You sometimes encounter enemies on the way to missions but I was hoping for the city to be more dangerous in the streets. This may change later or other parts of the city may be more dangerous.
- Character creator is very disappointing. You're basically slightly editing presets and I think all of the options suck.
- Certain items you equip don't show on your character. I equipped a surgical mask but was disappointed when nothing popped up on my face.
- AI is very aggressive. Instead of staying in cover, enemies are more likely to sprint up to you even if you are spamming a shotgun at them. Kind of annoying when a lot of the enemies are bullet sponges and you can die in just a few hits.
- Doesn't give you full options to map your keys. In the middle of combat I keep pressing B instead of V on accident when I try to heal and get stuck in the menus.
- The cover system is wonky at times.


Overall I think this game is good. I see it as a chill, rpg shooter that I can wind down to with friends after work. Basically a more serious version of Borderlands. I think most of the issues can be fixed and corrected with future patches. This is most likely a game you should wait to go on sale before buying.
