I wanted to rewrite my review because this honestly is probably my favourite game of all time. Everything from the humour, the soundtrack, and the gameplay are all very satisfying and has great replayability. The game is very difficult when you first start off but when you learn how everything works, and how to optimise your playing, it all becomes quite easy. I see a lot of people say that this game is seriously RNG dependent, and at times it will feel that way (unavoidable series of events that will pretty much end your runs), but even those situations, unless you are playing quick death mode (arguably the hardest mode), are avoidable or at least can be compensated for, based on how you choose to play your cards. Once you've played a couple runs of the game you will start seeing a few repeated events here and there but that's okay because you can still use that opportunity to see what the other outcomes are, and even though I've played so much of this game I'm still finding out new things and new ways to play, and not only that, the game is still receiving updates, so I'm sure there's even more content to come.

A lot of the fun comes out of creating custom characters, be it your friends/family, celebrities/fictional characters and OCs, makes it so much better of an experience, because they can pull off some hilarious moments in-game. If you're playing couch co-op this game is even more of a blast, but it's still a shame they don't have online co-op, steam remote play is acceptable, but it has some latency (albeit still playable) and just doesn't feel right so I really hope they still consider adding a proper online multiplayer mode. I also hope they add more traits and perks to the game to customise characters with, not to say that there's not already plenty, but traits with new gimmicks like maybe a chef or other perks that can flesh out a more specific type of character and adds new ways to play.

You can use an online wiki to help you in learning stats of weapons, or the game's tricks and secrets, but when it comes to learning the outcomes of road events, it's much more worth learning everything from experience in my opinion, but you should obviously just play the game how you find the most fun.

I seriously recommend this game if you wanna play a light-hearted and funny retro zombie game to laugh about with your friends, while also being difficult for those who want something challenging.
