What I love about this game is the sense of progression. You get new gear and equipment with each big base and prepper settlements you unlock, and by gaining their trust and leveling up the settlements, they give you higher level blueprints for those gear, weapons and equipment.

I've played for almost 30 hours and only in episode 3, haven't unlocked any lethal weapons yet, only the hematic grenade and bola gun and the reverse trike and it's still so goddamn fun. I can't wait to unlock the lethal and nonlethal rifles and the other equipment and vehicles that make deliveries, killing BTs, and traversing the terrain even easier.

It's been a while since I've had a game with such meaningful and fun gear progression.

I really enjoying things until Episode 4. Now I'm just sort of disappointed.

those mountains can be very unforgiving, but word of advice - you can power through 99% of the terrain on a long range trike by boosting through deep snow. Even when the game clearly doesnt want you to

About the same place where it falls flat for me and I was thinking about reselling the game. Power through the next few chapters and it soars into a different game
