    Just played about an hour of it. It’s definitely a bit clunky still in UI and inventory management. Definitely early access, definitely some bugs.

    First time out of the shelter, I couldn’t load my starting shotgun, walked up to an NPC and got blasted. Bled out and was confused. But after about an hour I’ve got some loot in my cabin, some guns, and I don’t immediately die upon contact with a bandit.

    Haven’t gotten done any quests. Not exactly sure how that works yet.

      What’s the AI like? The last playtest I played they were so braindead basic it wasn’t a whole lot of fun to actually play.

        I’ve only had a handful of bandit encounters so far so it’s hard to say. They can spot you from very far away even if you’re partially hidden. But I did have an amusing chase around a house where they seemed to take dynamic pathing during a fight.
