Only a 95 now. Ruined!

And wow, I love that review. Maybe I should read some of the others ones that site has caught shit for. The way he describes that the game becomes a chore to play just to complete the story, the comparisons to Bioshock Infinite, the way "play" is put in quotations, all resonate with me having played Uncharted. And the biggest thing is near the end when he talks about how a survival game is not a survival game if you just replay a section when you die. I am experiencing a treat of a survival game in State of Decay right now and what the review is saying is 100% right. When you have a potential penalty larger than "reload to a checkpoint from 2 minutes ago" it catapults the entire game to a whole new level. I'm going to have a hard time enjoying the linear, planned out gameplay of LoU as much having played SoD.

I am happy to read that the zombies aren't too common in LoU. I agree with the reviewer, on the "silly scale" for zombies, the LoU zombies might be the silliest ever. The survivor vs survivor interactions and gameplay have always seemed far, far superior in the videos I have seen. So I am happy to see there is more of that than the zombies. I feel he kind of gives away the ending though. Oh well, I'll see for myself starting tomorrow.
