From what I've played (I did not finish the game), the game is fun. It does a good job of scaring you, with cool enemies and sounds. But one thing runined the whole game for me and it made me lose my interest to finish the game.
The inventory system! Especially for weapons.
Imagine this scenario:
You encounter a zombie/mutant, you empty your pistol/shorgun at him. He's still not dead. Then you're screwed. Forget reloading, cause you need to press at least a few buttoms to reload your gun, and by the time you're halfway there, you're dead. Why couldn't there be a normal "reload" key? And its equally impossible if you first try to run away and hide before reloading, because the monsters ALWAYS follow you. Couldn't the game pause when you're in the inventory screen? This also applies when opening locked doors with keys. You have wolves chomping on your ass, and it takes a while to get into the inventory screen, highlight the key, and use the key. Then you also have to get out of the screen and walk in. But by then, you're dead. This happened many times for me.
Having said that, I just can't arsed to finish this now!
