Waited on this one for a long time, but my son snuck in and purchased it to play solo, so I took the jump as well. Great decision. We've loved every minute playing it and have started a hosted family server that we've been playing on and have been having a blast. Well worth it.

Spent hours clearing out a military zone on one of my first modded playthroughs. Ended up with a ton of loot packed up in my vehicle. My character was exhausted and sleepy so I figured one night's rest in one of the tents wouldnt hurt. Saw the sick moodle pop up and worsen as i watched helplessly unable to wake my character up. When he finally did wake, he died instantly. Furious, I looked it up to see if it was some kind of bug, but quickly found out that my character wasnt a fan of the dead corpses lying around inside.. peak realism, 11/10 experience, would recommend to masochists.

After 400+ game hours, I survived until winter. At least I learned the following real life lessons: - tomorrow will be an another day. - know your limits. - don't get ambitious. - the term 'too late' is real. - no, you are hungry, tired, anxious, and injured. Leave those 3 zombies alone. A game where there is one outcome: lose. A game where the zombies are just minor enemies, the ultimate boss is your weakness, your bad decision. A game where you can see hordes. A game where you spend 400 hours, and still have no clue how to handle a gun. A game where you neglect a flat tire, and die. I love it. All the rage quits invite me for an another game where you will be 0.05% better than yesterday.
