This is not another shooter game. Rather, this is a game designed to reenact the hardship of war as seen through the eyes of civilians. There are various characters and settings allowing you, the player, to see war from various perspectives. The artistic quality is top notch with looks of detailed animated pencil drawings of characters and war-torn landscapes in different light and weather conditions. The action takes place mostly in various beautifully detailed buildings where you scavenge for anything that can come in use, as well as meet other characters and interact through dialogue and look for clues.
The game does a great job in conveying the realism of war and keeping you at your toes just to survive another day, defend your settlement from raids, make improvements, help your sick and wounded comrades, etc. It makes you care about your characters by giving these characters their voice and their personal stories. They have opinions on things they do and their situation. These, in turn, can further affect your characters' conditions.
I would strongly recommend you trying the Final Cut version with the additional Stories. It greatly enhances the already addictive gameplay and brings in more original content.
This game, like a good movie, creates very memorable and touching experiences. In my book, that's 10 out of 10.
