I'm glad you enjoyed it, i haven't even bought it yet. Busy playing other games. But how hard is the game on the highest difficulty?


It was frustrating at times because I had to change my gameplan when I tried survivor. While I was playing or the 2nd hardest difficulty I got used to just running around and wasting my supplies. I never felt a sense of urgency on Hard mode.

When I started Survivor mode which is the hardest difficulty, I immediately realized that I couldn't be so wasteful with my ammo or molotovs. Survivor mode really forced me to think like a survivor, to ration my supplies. I only allowed myself to use a certain amount of bullets for each encounter because having already completed the game I knew I would need them for my next encounters. I love that Survivor mode made me do that, if I felt that I used too much ammo I resorted to stealth only. The bow became my best friend because it was an easy way to take out opponents silently with one shot.

I highly reccomend trying the game on Survivor mode, it's a very tense, realistic experience.


I concur, Survival mode is the way to go.  I was conflicted on whether to play hard + or survival, I chose survival and can confirm that thats the right way to go.

My first playthru on hard lasted 21 hrs and 15 min, I searched almost complusively for ammo and supplies the whole time.  I still missed a ton of the collectables.  I'm about 40% of the way thru survival and am finding lots of stuff I missed.  Playing without listen mode makes the game better in my opinion.


Do you have to get all the collectibles in one playthrough to get the trophies or can you earn them through multiple playthroughs?
