During my 20-hour excursion to Castor Woods, I had a lot of fun with the game. The parkour system is the best and smoothest of its kind. The melee combat is wonderfully intense and brutal. The game's open world is full of activities, and the side missions in particular are exciting. Unfortunately, despite the excellent gameplay foundation, a feeling of saturation sets in as the game progresses. The missions push the game mechanics to their limits with lots of repetition and lengthy gameplay sequences. The bigger problem, however, is the annoying bugs that bother me, especially later in the game. They are the reason why I advise you to wait for a round of patches before you dive into the brutal zombie adventure with Kyle Crane.
