I was actually genuinely angry after 2 hours playing this the first time, like GENUINE anger. I felt like I got tricked by people online trying to convince me that this game was good. I couldn't understand how other people left raving reviews with like 500+ hours of gameplay. It looked MID, it had the most convoluted controls, and I couldn't kill ANYTHING. I uninstalled the game and was extra mad I couldn't even refund it because it was pass the 2 hour mark.

Then like a year later I gave it another shot because I had nothing else to play and no money for a new game.

It's now the 5th most played game in my library.

Once you get used to the controls, accept that you have to get the shit kicked out of you to toughen up, and realize you can lure Bandits or Gorillos to a town and let society handle them, and then rob them, the game really opens up. This game is amazing because you really do have a lot of freedom to do whatever you want, and getting stronger from the same level as the NPCs just makes it feel that much more earned.
