« The game is fun, but the RNG when fighting animals is insane. If you get a leg fracture, you die. There's really no way to last long enough for it to heal, even on the easiest difficulty. »

« If you like getting achievements you won't like this. I've killed the hunter over and over and the achievement won't trigger. Huge waste of my time. »
